Family Fun
We had planned a family get together in this beautiful home! We wanted a laid back visit by the river. It did not disappoint! Everything we needed was available to us. We enjoyed the outside deck, dock and firepit. The home was beautiful and laid out so well! I’m not great with words but this rental checks off all the boxes for a wonderful weekend, vacation, or getaway. The hostess was constantly in touch with me making sure we were comfortable. I feel we are friends now. I wish I could give her more than a five star rating!

Perfect getaway at the Riverhouse
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. The house was beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable, and perfectly situated on the water. We enjoyed kayaking and fishing while observing the wide variety of wildlife all around us. Our evenings were capped off relaxing around the fire pit making s’mores. We would definitely rebook this river house.

Perfect Hideaway on the water
Cute lil hideaway tucked away on the creek perfect for a women’s retreat. This place had the right space and landscape to host a retreat. The home had plenty of things to keep you occupied with games and water activity. The host was wonderful and very responsive. Highly recommend for any vacation.

Yearly family reunion.
This house was perfect for our annual get together as a family. The house provided plenty of beds and showers, and gathering spaces. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the view of the river from the deck, fishing off the dock, kayaking and canoeing, and gathering by the firepit. We had a wonderful time.

Visit to Northern Neck to see family 45 minutes away
We were sold on the rental because of its size, location, and pet friendliness. The hosts provided an immaculate, spacious, and attractive rental, complete with bedding and towels. The kitchen had all the necessities, including lots of flatware, mugs, glasses, plates, pots and pans. Dishwasher, coffee maker and Keurig were also provided. Full clothes washer and dryer made it possible for us to do our laundry and pack it clean for home. Home is nestled overlooking the river. Expansive windows made us really appreciate the view. More family would have stayed with us, but plans changed unexpectedly. Great communication with hosts. Guests are expected to take their trash to the dumpster a few miles away upon departure. Having visited the Northern Neck before, I had anticipated that. Hosts provided directions to dumpster and it was easy to find. Air hockey was fun and spouse enjoyed televised football. I caught a movie on Netflix. We would really enjoy another opportunity to stay there in warmer weather.

Great stay on the northern neck
We had a wonderful long weekend at the "Rivah" home. The property is great....right on the water. We spent every night building a fire in the huge fire pit. There are several hiking destinations and cute towns a short distance away. It's so peaceful and quiet where the home is located. We had the best sleep in years! Would definitely recommend it! The host was very communicative and super friendly.

The property has so much to do! It is large, filled with activities indoors and out and very very beautiful. We looked that it had something for everyone from games, to grilling to water realtors activities. The property manager was very responsive and helpful not only with our stay but additional things (like recommendations and future bookings).

Great Place to Relax and Have Fun with Family
Great location right on the river. Beautiful deck and dock with plenty of seats for the family. Kayaks and a canoe were available to use and my 2 grandkids had a blast learning how to fish and kayak. In fact on the first night my grandson said that he was in paradise. Would definitely stay again.

Relaxing time at the Rivah House
We were a group of six adults and we all concurred that we loved this property! We relaxed, cooked, played games (love the air hockey!), hung out in all the areas, especially on the pier to watch the sun go down. Grace has wonderful eye for decor and comfort and makes it easy in the kitchen with labels on the cabinets. We will definitely return for another get together. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home!

Summer vacation
Very pretty property. The host was very attentive and responded quickly with any questions. We didn’t realize the 3rd bedroom is a loft with no door until the day before check in and we also didn’t realize how many stairs there were Both inside and outside the house. My daughter is recovering from ankle surgery and our dog has bad hips so the steps were difficult for them. They river was also full of jellyfish which prevented us from getting in the water. Otherwise a very nice property.

Quiet Waterfront Getaway
Want to get away from it all? This home is clean, quiet, and isolated but stocked with all the comforts of home. My parents enjoyed the master bedroom on the main level (second floor) of the home so they didn't have to tackle the stairs unless they wanted to head down to the river. They could enjoy the sun room and screened in porch while the kids and teens ran around the house. Top floor is the loft bedroom with access to hallway bathroom shared by the other bedroom. Ground floor has the pullout couch and another full bathroom with showerstall. Teens enjoyed the sauna, volleyball, firepit, and air hockey table and Wifi. We all loved the kayaks with life jackets in all sizes ready to go. The creek is still and quiet and perfect for crabbing and fishing. We loved watching the lone little boat of 2 local folks crabbing in the early morning. They were really the only people we saw all week! Highly recommend Rogue oysters. Some of the best oysters we've ever had! Order ahead of time and they'll have your fresh order ready for pick up at the marina across the creek. Loved kayaking along all the coves of the creek and out to the river at the mouth of the creek. Don't miss Stevie's ice cream in town and Belle Island State park nearby. The little ones loved playing in the sand at the park and floating in the calm river waters. Nice playground at the park too. Plenty of flat parking lots and roads for biking. Hiking trails after a major storm were washed out and impassible. Oh well, Rivah life. Had a little trouble finding firewood for sale but landed on Ellen's Country Store and they had a bundle that met our needs. Well stocked kitchen, linens and towels provided but you may wish to pack extra towels if you have 10 people. Easy check in and check out. Owner easily available via text message all week. You take your own trash and recycling out to the dump. It's an easy 5 min drive down the road. Perfect place for our multigenerational family get away.
