Peaceful and Cozy Waterfront Home (just renovated)
Had a great stay ! Would definitely stay again if the time comes for us to go back .

Peaceful bay retreat. Hot tub,water views,fire pit
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. A perfect getaway with family and friends. It has everything you need, the living room is super comfortable and great to relax with the family. 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. Highly recommend

The Hideaway at Mill Creek
Really cute and peaceful stay! Will stay again in the future if we need a quiet weekend! And Linda was super responsive and instructions were clear and simple for the area

Family & Pet Friendly Private Beach Retreat
Responsive and communicative via AirBnb app. Open to small changes we had to make. Beautiful house and wonderful neighborhood. Everything as described and reasonable price. Truly provided the BnB part of AirBnb with linens, cleaning/cooking supplies, and bathroom supplies. Very scenic. The pictures don't do it justice when it comes to the proximity of the dock. It is right outside the window of the master bedroom.

The River House
We had a relaxing weekend at the river. We had so much privacy and were super happy with the house

Spacious Gorgeous Waterfront Home with Sunset View
This house is perfect for large groups. It is very spacious, with plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the dock taking in the serene natural beauty of the Creek and observing the local birdlife, including Kingfishers, Great Blue Herons, and Bald Eagles. The house is situated very near to the entrance of Lookout Point State Park which we greatly enjoyed exploring on bicycles. Seeing a large wedge of Tundra Swans fly overhead was a special moment. If you want to spend some time relaxing in a beautiful setting in a beautiful and very interesting area with a large group, this house will serve you well.

Hutch's Bluff - Waterfront near Williamsburg
My wife and I along with our 9 and 10 yr old stayed here while visiting the Williamsburg attractions and it worked out perfectly. It was only a 20-30 min drive on scenic back roads and we never had issues with traffic. It was nice to escape the crowds at the end of the day and go back to the peace and quiet of Hutch’s Bluff.

Waterfront Paradise with own Beach, Kayak, & Grill
We loved this snug, little spot on the water. Watching the sunrise over the water made for enjoyable mornings. It had a full kitchen that made cooking our meals very easy. Two seating areas in the living area gave us room to spread out. Fast wifi....I even stayed online while I was down by the water. I wasn't a huge fan of the overly curious swans, but I did find some really nice pieces of sea glass down by the water. The heat in this house was great.

The Crab Shack
There is nothing more serene than waking up in the ‘crab shack’ with the sunrise. What a comfortable and scenic spot. Even our dog, Juno, loved it! Took a sunset sail to celebrate a birthday and got front pier service! Our host, Carlisle, was extremely attentive and kind with any needs we had or hadn’t thought of. Wish we had booked longer. We hope to return very soon!!

Hidden Heaven Lake house on private 1 acre.
Joyce has done a phenomenal job with this lake house. Everything has been thought through. The house actually looks even better than the pictures. You can tell a lot of thought went into the decor. And it is super clean. The kitchen is fully stacked with everything you would need ant home or away. Ample seasoned fire wood and starter sticks makes using their MASSIVE fire pit a breeze. The best part is she gives you access to both of their docks and you will not have to take your boat or kayak out of the water once. We kayak fished Johnson’s and Lacey’s with ease from her house. 100% coming back to stay again.

Lakefront Cottage w/ great view and use of dock
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! It was the perfect place for our anniversary weekend getaway and also for celebrating my nephew’s 3rd birthday. The house was easy to find and access, and the host went above and beyond by putting up a few birthday decorations and even leaving a sweet little gift for the birthday boy—such a thoughtful touch! The home was very clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything you could need for a short or long stay. It has two spacious bedrooms with easy access to the living room, bathroom, and kitchen. The views of the lake were absolutely beautiful, and we really enjoyed having access to the dock—it was great for swimming, fishing, and just relaxing by the water. The host was very helpful, provided clear instructions, and gave us great recommendations for local dining and activities. Communication was quick and friendly. We felt right at home and would absolutely stay here again when we’re back in the area!

Private point on the Bay🌤hammock, hot tub, kayaks❤️
We took a family trip to have some time away and unplug. We absolutely loved it! The view, the hot tub, and the whole vibe was just what we needed. Fortunately, it didn’t rain the whole time like we thought it would, so we got to spend time in the water with the kayaks and our dogs loved it too! Highly recommend this spot for a break away. 10/10 would stay again! Thank you!

Modern 2 Bdrm Cottage in Historic River Community
I enjoyed my stay at this location while I was working in the area. The house was very clean and had a great view of the river. I loved the area and all of the amenities that she had in the home. Would definitely return.

Mystic Seahorse Cottage & game room
We love staying here! It’s so peaceful, quiet, and calm. The house is always clean and well stocked. Our favorite features are the kayaks/canoe and the private beach access!! Thank you for another wonderful weekend by the water!

Great little cottage with a "Rivah" view
The place was just like in the pictures—very quiet and peaceful. Directions were clear and access was super easy. We especially enjoyed the kayaking—it was very good! We weren’t lucky enough to catch anything this time, but we still had a great time out on the water. The owner was also super accommodating and let us check out late without asking for any extra money, which was really kind and appreciated. Overall, it’s a nice and cozy spot, perfect for a relaxing getaway.

Old World Cottage/Fabulous Sunsets/Polite Pets OK
A beautiful home with space for several people, close to the water and surrounded by beautiful pine trees. Clean and tidy with a coastal charm, pet friendly is an extra bonus! Owners were very supportive and communicative.
Cabin rentals with a kayak

Cute and Comfy Cabin
Had a wonderful stay, the area was absolutely stunning and Alicia was very kind, we had some questions about the fishing in the area and she was extremely helpful in giving us some tips! The cabin was so cozy and we definitely plan on coming back for another visit in the warmer months!

Rustic Cabin on a 350+ acre Camp
I had a wonderful time, and would certainly return for another visit. The experience was seamless, productive, and rewarding! At the time of my visit, March, I was a little disappointed in the condition of the hiking trails. There were several felled trees on both the trails I attempted, but given the stormy winter we've had and the season I chose, it's hardly surprising. I will say, I look forward to enjoying these trails fully next time!!

Peaceful Waterfront Retreat on The Bay
Peaceful stay out on the water. There was a lots of great state parks near by too. The home was stylish, clean and peaceful 🙂

Water Front Lake House!
Shane was an excellent host from beginning to end! The cabin is very private and peaceful with a great view of the lake and lots of amenities. I would definitely stay again.

Log Cabin Retreat on Lake Anna, private side!
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!

Rocreek Cabin at Little Stoney Creek
I booked this for a weekend retreat for my boyfriend's birthday and Rocreek cabin was everything we could have hoped for!! The location was secluded, serine and just LOVELY!!! The small details in the cabin were soooo perfect and just added to the experience. I love that she labeled towels for the furbabies and also had bowls for them. Our favorite part was the waterfall out back!! Having the window open above the bed and being able to listen to that while we slept was soooo relaxing!!! I also got Rhonda to bake a cake for my boyfriend's birthday and it was delicious!! $25 well spent and it was waiting in the fridge when we got there. Loved the area, as there was so much to do and see! Hiking sharp top, which was 15 mins away, was AMAZING. We also enjoyed the D-Day Memorial, which was also within 20 mins. Bedford is sooo quaint and cute!! This property and the area is a must see!!! Thank you both for being such AMAZING hosts.

Wickline Cabin on Moon Creek
Spent the weekend up here for a quick getaway. It’s a beautiful cabin - location is great, it’s very quiet, and it was the perfect place to escape life for a couple of days. Loved it!!

*No Fees* Lake Cabin with Private Dock
We loved our stay at Amelia’s cabin! It is such a beautiful location and so peaceful. Our family had the best time fishing from the dock, going out on the canoe, enjoying the hot tub and having a bonfire. We would definitely come back! Our dogs had the best time swimming as well. Amelia was always very responsive, friendly and helpful! She is a wonderful host!
