We just finished our fourth visit. We love this house. Kayaking on the creek is lovely during the day and the game room is great for the kids in the evening. It's secluded but close enough to a few small towns that you can get out and explore. Blakely is a great host.

Lovely glasses-in side porch, easy to remember code entry, fully Boho style house, complete with stencils and fully modern kitchen appliances. Beautiful new showers. Cozy reading room. Ample living room seating with lots of space. Like your live edge table. Comfy pillows and mattresses! No neck aches. Can’t say enough about the beautiful water and outdoor activities available. Very family friendly.
View of the dock from the kitchen. Big backyard.

We greatly enjoyed our stay and exploring the area. The house is just like what in a retirement home with gameroom downstairs, a nice fire pit to enjoy at night by the water, and plenty of room. Next time we'd like to bring our grandkids to enjoy.

We really enjoyed being right on the water for kayaking. The house was plenty spacious for five of us, and the kitchen well stocked with essentials. We enjoyed the fire pit. Even though we were there in shoulder season, we enjoyed walking to Fawn’s coffee shop, lunch at Newsome’s and dinner at Horn Harbor when we didn’t eat at the house. Hosts were very responsive, and we plan to return. M

This property is wonderful. We appreciated the thoughtful amenities and care the hosts obviously have for this property. Our dog loved being able to play in the large yard. We loved being right on the water. The location is fabulous. We had great meals from Newsome's, Horn Harbor Restaurant and Fawn's Delectable Cafe. We enjoyed exploring the Northern Neck! We hope the stars align so we can return on another getaway.

The property is ideal for a perfect getaway. We crabbed and caught about 2 dozen. (Both line and crab traps in September) The property has everything you could want! The host is quick to respond to questions. If you need to unplug and getaway, this is the place. The town of Reedville, it closes down early or completely Mon-Wed however great locally owned businesses are open Thursday-Sun.

We had a great time kayaking, fishing, catching crabs and eating outside with our family under the picnic table. We didn’t get a chance to use the firepit but we really appreciate that there are firewood available to use. The house is was perfect for my family. I’m glad that even though it’s an older home, the bathrooms and bedrooms were updated. My mom and sisters who came with us really enjoyed the stay too. The host were great and awesome too. Quick on responding too.

Great vacation place

Overall its a great place to stay. Just a few issues. The water pressure in both showers isnt very good (might just be the shower head as it has 100 holes) and the shower door in the main bathroom leaks at the bottom. We couldnt get the karoake machine to work, but the rest of the game room is awesome. The canoe and kayaking were awesome too and they have several life vests. Overall, we did enjoy our stay!

Get away with great friends!

We were booked to go to OBX, but the snowstorm changed that...so plan B! Plan B was a fantastic choice...great place to chill out, drink wine, dance and relax by the bonfire! Hosts were very quick to respond to emails, the beds were comfy and the kitchen stocked! I'd love to come back (I live in Oregon) and bring my grandsons here this Summer!

Family vacation

This vacation house was perfect for our family. We loved the location. We enjoyed kayaking every day and fishing. It was nice sitting down by the water around the fire pit, after a long day. The game room was an added bonus. We can’t wait to come back again sometime.
