We had a great time at Twin Maples. It was VERY comfortable. Owners did everything possible to make our stay comfortable and the trip easy. They provided all essentials from shampoo to condiments to a pooper scooper for our dog! Cozy little cottege with a great yard (fenced in). Neighbors were very kind as well. We had a yummy breakfast at the Colonial Beach Rescue Squad hosted by the Ladies Aux. thanks to one neighbor's invite! There is one awesome State Park a short drive from the cottege. Be sure to visit Westmoreland state park if you like hiking, boating and hunting for shark teeth as much as we do. Also, make sure to save some time to spend relaxing on each of the three porches at Twin Maples!

Owner response:We're so happy you enjoyed your stay, Hannah. Westmoreland State Park is definitely worth visiting, and maybe next time you'll try Caledon State Park, which is also nearby but in the other direction. - Lisa

My family and I stayed at the Twin Maples Cottage for an extended stay while our house was being built. The Twin Maples is a very comfortable cottage and is located w/in walking distance from the attractions at Colonial Beach. It's an ideal location for a weekend retreat or a family vacation for a week or so. Enjoy!

Owner response:Thanks for your kind words, Jim. We're so glad you were comfortable during your stay. - Lisa

This cottage was the most amazing place.....we rented it for the Colonial Beach Moose Lodge Dart Tournament, which was held in March! We did not get to spend as much time in the cottage as we wanted to, but the time spent there was awesome. The property is very well maintained...clean....items that you might have forgotten, are there for you to use. We bought our own food, and that was it!! We highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to get away. We walked to the pier....we ate at a wonderful seafood restaurant and had lunch at Fat Freidas.....next time we all go, we will not be throwing darts.......we will be enjoying the cottage and the beautiful small town of Colonial Beach. Lisa, the owner, was so helpful.....we did not want to leave on Sunday!! Thank you, Lisa......we WILL be back!!!!

I just wanted to say Thank You for such a great place to stay. We had everything we needed. We like being able to bring our dog too. She's a yorky and really loved the neighbors. I would recommend your house to anyone.

What a great place! We've rented for 3 years and this is by far the best. We found everything at the cottage to make our week wonderful. We could walk to the shops, restaurants and, of course, the beach. The fireworks on the 4th were amazing! We even spent a day doing nothing because the cottage was so comfortable. When we are in Colonial Beach we will definitely stay at Twin Maples again.

Lisa and Gus,You made our first visit to Colonial Beach a great one. Your cottage was very comfortable and had all the amenities of home, in fact it was the best stocked house we have ever rented anywhere. The laundry facilities and the high speed internet access were a great addition. It fit right in to a friendly town like Colonial Beach and I am sure we will be back soon. Our dogs enjoyed the yard and chatting with the Yorkies in the neighborhood. Best Wishes,The Neathawk’sRichmond, VA

Hi Lisa & Gus, Our stay at Twin Maples Cottage was like staying as your guest in your home. You managed to have everything there in case I had forgotten something. I can't remember the last vacation where we truly relaxed! The beach was wonderful, the people friendly and the way of life was just what we needed. We would love to come back to enjoy Twin Maples and Colional Beach. Also my two toy poodles (Bella-Baby & Maggie-Mae) made friends with your neighbor's Yorkie's. Another plus............ Sincerely, THE GIORDANO'S NEW FAIRFIELD,C.T.
