A spacious home by the water. We celebrated Thanksgiving at this location and it was very special. The views are beautiful, had a fire right by the water and relaxed by the beach.

The kitchen was spacious making it easy to cook and entertain the family. We loved the hot tub, playing pool and having family dinner. Overall a fabulous experience!! Great host- great communication.

The Hideaway at Mill Creek

RebeccaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Everything about this home was perfect for our family of four that loves the Bay. Peaceful, amazing views, well stocked, comfortable, private pier with kayaks, a zillion movie and game choices, close to NNK towns. The hot tub was a bonus. By the end of the weekend we wanted to move in! And the next door pup Bella was the sweetest. Thank you, we will be back for sure!

Spacious Gorgeous Waterfront Home with Sunset View

DeborahRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Our family of 5 adults, 1 child and an infant had a lovely Thanksgiving visit to Karina's house in Scotland. The house was very spacious and comfortable for all. Our 5-yr old granddaughter was especially thrilled with 'her' room -- nicely decorated and quite suitable for her age. The other bedrooms had great mattresses (relatively new?) and the linens were all good quality. The kitchen had most of the items you'd need to make a big dinner and even bake. The location was very quiet and given the time of year, a peaceful retreat to simply enjoy the view of Tanner Creek. All in all it was a great spot for a family holiday gathering.

The Crab Shack

JoniRating, 5 stars4 days ago
What a little piece of heaven. The Crab Shack sits right on the water with beautiful views across the water and even more beautiful sunrises. The house is as pictured and amenities are as described. It is clean and very comfortable. Carlisle is a great host! He was quick to reach out prior to our arrival with “pro-tips” for our stay and to let us know he was a phone call away if we needed anything. We were in town for a very short stay and (in February) the weather was, of course, chilly. I cannot wait to return in warm weather and sit on that porch all day long. Highly recommended.

Hidden Heaven Lake house on private 1 acre.

AshleyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed the week of New Year's day and found Joyce and Eric's home to be a perfect distance from Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. Additionally, we enjoyed the view and serenity of the lake to take the edge off from the crowded parks. It is a perfect retreat for relaxation and I was able to take so many landscape and nature pictures. There are 2 docks and a great assortment of kayaks to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this place for any season of the year.

This was my second stay at Renee’s cottage. It was as peaceful as I remembered. My husband and I had such a relaxing time, walking the dog and enjoying the wildlife, lounging in the overstuffed couches, and drinking our coffee on the screened in porch. One of our favorite places to stay.

Potomac River cheerful cottage

JamesRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Want to get away? This retreat defines that. I am assuming for the winter months, only a handful of people are here. The dock and water were inviting but chilly for February. We brought all our food so we just chilled and took a long walk along the roads. This is the place to read a book, clear your minds, just unwind.

Newly Renovated 2BR Waterfront Cottage with Dock

FresiaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
A.J. And Lindsey’s place was beautiful. The place was just as described in picture’s. We were looking to disconnect and we got just that. We loved the decks, the fire pit was a super plus, the furniture was carefully selected and well placed. Another big one was that I didn’t have to remember my password for Netflix! We were able to take a lovely hike at Westmoreland state park with our dear furry son combining a couple of them got to experience trees and fossil beach. Overall a wonderful experience and would certainly recommend their place. Thanks for hosting us!

Blue Ridge Mountain Cabin

KelliRating, 5 starstoday
So much better than we even imagined! We stayed at Marjorie’s for a quick overnight on our way to Nee England from Florida. It was SO beautiful, meticulously clean and homey. I’m so sad we couldn’t stay longer. We were greeted by the sweetest cat and dog who my son adores. Marjorie even let me son feed the fish in the pond out front. The instructions were super clear, the parking and cabin were easy to find and check in couldn’t have been easier. Really can’t recommend Marjorie and her little slice of heaven enough!

We had a great stay for my daughter’s 9th birthday and went to nearby Calvert Cliffs State Park to find fossils and the Marine Museum on Solomon’s Island. We loved the swing and 2 living spaces and the beautiful view! Playing games and reading next to the lovely fireplace was also so nice!

Log Cabin Retreat on Lake Anna, private side!

DavidRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was our family's second time here. It's hard to find a place that can accommodate a large group, including a couple seniors with special needs and two young kids. We were lucky to have snow, so had a great time playing in the very large backyard. The kitchen is well stocked, so did all our own cooking and we barely had to leave the house. We hope to be back again soon!
