Peaceful on the Creek in the Northern Neck

Renovated and updated manufacured (mobile) home with an added-on 4-season porch with picture windows overlooking the water (creek) and wildlife. Relax in quiet solitude and watch the Blue Heron and other birds, deer, turkeys and other wildlife. Located on 3+ waterfront acres on a secluded gravel private road. Watch the sunrise or the sunset from the pier.

(WARNING: If you require the NYC nightlife, please do not reserve. This is a remote location far away from the bustle of the City. You must drive approximately 1/2 hour to access shopping areas.

BROADBAND internet. However, if relaxing, you won't need it. A number of kayaks on site. Marina (Whelan's) - 2 miles away. Several public boat ramps nearby; closest is in Simonson (5 miles). Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge within 1 1/2 miles with hiking trails. Numerous wineries within 30 minute drive. Belle Island State Park within 15 minute drive (11 miles). Water 2-3 feet at pier. Small boat lift. Enjoy fishing or crabbing or put in the kayak.

Fully air-conditioned with vinyl plank flooring and wired speakers in living room and both bedrooms; attached to cassette deck with collection of tapes on-site.

Park your vehicle near entrance to home and step onto the large (16' x 40') deck with entry door and sliding glass door. Enter into mud room with pantry cabinet and stacked washer/dryer and coat rack. Access to bathroom with large tub/shower, sink and toilet. Access to Primary BR with view of water includes an antique bed (full) with bedside tables and lamps, chest of drawers, large closet and satellite TV . Guest BR is at other end of trailer with Queen bed with bedside tables and dresser with double window looking towards wooded area. Living Room has a large and small couch with 44" Roku TV. Eating bar with stools at kitchen counter. Kitchen has new refrigerator/freezer (no ice maker), full stove with hood. Fully stocked with essential appliances (Toaster Oven, Coffee maker, Coffee grinder, Blender and Bullet, George Foreman grill), most condiments, herbs and spices. Refrigerator will include water jug, as the well water in the area is not the best tasting. No dishwasher. Newly renovated glass enclosed porch overlooking back (front?) yard with expansive views of creek. Includes a sofa with pullout bed, glass-top table with 4 chairs, wrought iron couch, rocker, wicker chest and armoire with 33" Roku TV. This room is the place to be. Glass door leads to small deck with table and 4 chairs, steps to yard and pier and charcoal grill.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that the majority of pet owners disregarded rules about pets being on the furniture (and eating it), we have excluded rental for travelers with pets.

NOTE: There is a neighboring lot that also has a mobile home that is under repair. Also, upgrades to the property are ongoing and there is lumber and other construction items stored on property.

Multiple kayaks!
Nice location, a bit isolated (a positive for me), right on the water, dock. Multiple, different kayaks for your use, which was great. Home is nice inside, with everything you need. Not thrilled with very nearby mobile home - bit of an eyesore; if someone was there, it would affected my sense of privacy; did eventually get used to it.

Family work trip
Stayed in the area to work on a property we had acquired. Chuck was easy to work with and quick on the responses to questions. House was out at the edge (of the creek , roof the area we we were in etc) but was right where we needed to be. Comfortable, great views, and quiet. Thanks

Nice clean accommodations for remote site
The cottage/double wide is updated and very clean. AC works great. Both beds are full size so if you are sleeping with a partner consider that. The kayaking is wonderful. We went early am before the sun was above the trees to beat the heat. The wildlife and peace and quiet are great on the water at that time. Nights are full of crickets, frogs, cicadas and I don’t know what else, but is it is so peaceful and enjoyable. Only issue there is the mosquitos. They provide lots of bug repellant located on back porch, however. Speaking of, the back porch is very nice all times of the day. The TV/ Internet is sketchy and just as described by Chuck. I have Verizon and had one or two bars during the stay. Kitchen is well stocked with pans and utensils for cooking and there are spices and condiments and two types of coffee makers - pour over 8 cup and single serve pod ( Kourig.) bathroom well stocked with soap/shampoo/conditioner and tons of towels. We don’t have a pet but they supply pet bowls, brushes, accessories as well as lots of dog towels for cleaning up after them. Lots of board games/books/puzzles. You will have to drive 20-30 minutes for groceries. Overall, a nice place, not luxury, but quite comfortable, clean, and relatively private.

Exceeded All Expectations
We booked this property to spend a nice family weekend on the water. My husband likes to fish and my adult children wanted a chance to relax. It was the perfect property to do this. Chuck is an amazing host with great communication starting at the time we booked. There are so many nice touches added to the property that basically everything you need is provided. The sunroom is fantastic. We spent most of our time in there enjoying the view. Talking about it this morning packing up, we all agreed that this is the first place we have ever rented that there is nothing negative about it. Thank you Chuck for such a great weekend.

Perfect Little Getaway
This is a wonderful little getaway. Clean with everything we could need! The screened in porch was very warm and relaxing. Being able to use the kayaks to take out on the creek was perfect entertainment.

Home away from home
This is such a cute and relaxing house. There’s everything you need to have an enjoyable time. It was only my husband and I this time, but it is definitely a fun spot for kids….board games, large yard for running around & hide-and-go seek, bird watching, kayaking, fishing, etc. And wonderful hosts!

The place is a little deceiving in the picture, there is an abandoned trailer right next door that was hid from the pictures and the smell of the inside of old moth balls was a bit off putting but other than the stated info it is a cute place to stay, very quiet and relaxing. The decorations are really cool inside and the porch addition is cozy.

Awesome getaway
My husband and I rented this place for a long weekend, and it did not disappoint. The listing was just as described, was neat and tidy, and had everything we could need and more. They even had fresh cut flowers for us! The owners were readily available with any questions we had and even gave us suggestions of things to do in the area to further enjoy our stay. The creek In the backyard was peaceful and beautiful, and we loved taking the kayaks that they provided out and sitting on the dock and watching the wildlife and sunsets. Overall, a great stay!
