Great rental with a view!

This property is gorgeous! It was everything I could have hoped for. I was in town for a wedding in Earleville in search of a dog friendly rental. I am so happy I found this place. The cottage is down the long driveway neighboring other cottages/houses. Very cute fenced in entryway. The check-in process was very easy with the door code for entry. The cottage was super cute, plenty of space. The pups and I spent most of our time outside enjoying the view. The yard overlooking the water has a fenced in area which was nice for the pups so I could sit and relax with some peace of mind. I spent some time in the hot tub after the wedding. Overall such a relaxing getaway. I've had several friends reach out for the rental info after seeing pictures I'd posted.The owner was able to recommend some local grocery spots as well. Very responsive. Definitely would recommend.

This place was so perfect and exactly what we were looking for. Everything was exactly as described, loved the set up, and the hot tub was so easy to use. Communication was prompt for the few questions I had and checkout was wildly easy! We will def be coming back!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A filthy hole of a property-in a trailer park setting. Outside filthy and unusable and unsafe. Debris rusty garbage cans an unsanitary “hot tub;” mold everywhere; outdoor eating areas covered in mold and on and on

Fantastic getaway cottage!!

We had an amazing time at the cottage. It was clean, neat, well decorated, and a super comfortable place to stay. We used the hot tub, watched the sunset, took in the breathtaking views of the river. We will definitely return!

Beautiful cottage on the water

We loved our stay! The cottage was even better than in the photos. Jess made the check in process extremely easy and had great communication. It was exactly what we were looking for. A romantic quiet getaway with our puppy. They definitely put in the time and work to make it a great experience. The sunsets were beautiful on the river. Really enjoyed Chesapeake city which was a very close drive. 5 star experience, thank you!

Anniversary Trip

My husband and I chose this property due to proximity from our home and waterfront location. We rolled in during severe thunderstorms but still enjoyed beautiful sunset as clouds broke for a brief time. We cooked in that night due to storm and had everything we needed for cooking. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere as well as exploring local Chesapeake City. Started our anniversary with mass at St. Rose of Lima church, coffee and breakfast at Cafe on the Bay, and fabulous dinner at Bayard House. Jess was quick to respond to couple of questions we had. We enjoyed the hot tub, reading outside on sitting area as well an anniversary dance to our first song on the patio 31 years later! Hope to return again!

A Wonderful place to Rejuvenate. . . .

A refreshing expance of light from the many windows greeted us inside the double door. Through clean windows graced with breezy white panels the view of the Elk River filled the Dining area. To the right corner were twin beds filled with pillows to lounge or sleep. There was nothing lacking for fine TV/Cable Entertainment. The kitchen is brand new and well stocked. . . countertops are to "die for" The floors are high quality laminate throughout with an open floor plan design. The Queen Bed is exceptionally comfortable. . . a bit high for short folks like myself. The sweet bathroom is well appointed but compact. The weather only allowed us one evening to make a small fire in the Fire Pit. We sat on comfortable patio chairs where we reminisced about our 60 years of marriage n watched the River flow by and birds call to each other.The large trees overhead make keeping a spotless patio and flower beds difficult. Again we didn't have much chance to spend out there because of the weather. I was sad when I knew it was the last night in this beautiful place. Hopefully it will be the beginning of many more.
