Nice place on the water, needs upkeep outside
The home was very nice, clean and well kept. Very well stocked. They owners went above and beyond in this category to make the stay nice. The outside areas of the property need some TLC/maintenance. I.E. broken/rotted deck boards around the home, paint peeling etc. But overall very nice and clean. Would stay here again.

Kids xmas
We gathered as a family to celebrate Xmas. We went to Christmas town and cooked Xmas dinner. We found old rotted food in one of the cabinets that really smelled badly. A lot of the utensils were grubby looking and the stove was not very clean. The exhaust fan did not work. The setting was beautiful and the kids loved playing outdoors. It met our needs and we made do but I would suggest getting rid of all the old food in the kitchen and refrigerator..

Amazing setting
Absolutely gorgeous setting. Being able to see and enjoy the York river throughout our stay was a highlight. We really were able to just step away and relax! Lots of bed options although mattresses could use an update. Kitchen is well stocked - just keep looking if you don’t see it at first :) Towels, linens etc supplied.

Very nice house
The house and especially the outdoor areas were wonderful with plenty of room for our family. We especially enjoyed the beach and kayaks. The mattresses in the bunk room were not comfortable and the kitchen was too cluttered with leftover food from previous guests, but all in all, a very nice house!

Beautiful location
Gorgeous views and very well equipped house. Lots to go outside, we unfortunately had cold and very windy weather. Would be an amazing getaway with warm weather. More seating around the tv or a tvin one of the other rooms would be nice.

Great stay on the York River!
The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. We were two families, with nine people in total and never felt crowded. The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything we needed plus more! Great to have spices, condiments, tea and coffee provided! The views of the river are tremendous and there’s even a little beach area. Great location and we would consider staying there again!

The house / property is nicer than the pics. The sunset view is real. It is secluded, take what you need or drive 15 minutes to Wally world.
