We had a fabulous time at Jim’s! The house was lovely and had plenty of space for our family of 5 adults. We loved the dock and fishing right in the back yard was so much fun. We also enjoyed the kayaks and crabbing too and the fenced yard was great for our pup! Jim’s place was perfect for us to reconnect and relax!

Our stay at Megan and Jim’s place was great! It was so relaxing and a perfect way for our family to round out summer! We loved being able to bring our dogs and we loved the backyard and river views! We spent our mornings on the back deck and loved hanging at the house all day or exploring one of the cute towns in the area! Just what the doctor ordered for some much needed R&R!

Absolutely wonderful stay, the house and our hosts were absolutely lovely, it is so hard to vacation with kids and our dog and accommodate everyone, but this house ticked every box. There are so many spaces on the property for everyone, and the things needed to make them cozy. Crab pots were ready to use, with bait ready to put in. The kayaks and SUP were easy for all levels of experience, and PFD’s were available for every size human (and a few k9’s too). The deck was wonderful with great seating, and the perfect place to eat all those crabs we caught. Lots of fishing rods for daytime and nighttime fishing, and the fish lights alone were so much fun to sit and watch the river critters at night. The beds were all comfortable, the kitchen is great, the dining area(s) are wonderful, and the utility room is brilliant. The living room offered great views of the creek and was a great spot for our whole family at the end of the day. We’ll be back, the whole family has already asked!

What a great little spot to enjoy the Northern Neck. My wife and I had a great time here, kayaking, fishing and exploring. And the hosts were great. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved this rental. Exactly as described, pictures didn't do it justice. Jim and Megan were very responsive to any questions. If you are looking for a relaxing, comfy location, look no further. We rented to spend time with family just down the street and it was perfect. We hosted 15 people for dinner on Saturday evening and all the seating inside and out was exactly what we needed! We will be back.
