About Rose Marie Lee
My family and I purchased the property in 1970. Because of an abundance of crows in the area and the dam is visible from the property, hence the name "The Dam Crows Nest". Until 2012 there was a 60' house trailer located on the adjacent property. I live in Virginia Beach, VA which is approximately two hours from the lake. My grown kids and I decided to build the cabin in 2012. My oldest son did all the tile, slate and stonework in the house and my other son built the deck. My forte is decorating. I hope you will enjoy our "Little Piece of Heaven" and will come back year after year.
Rose Marie Lee purchased this Cabin in 2014
Why Rose Marie Lee chose Henrico
We were invited to a friend's cabin just around the corner. We fell in love with the lake. Before the weekend was over we we knew we wanted our own place. We were shown this 1-1/2 acre property and fell in love with it. The property is located on a large point on Main Lake which wraps around to a private sandy cove beach. The log cabin main floor has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed, the other has a set of bunk beds and a daybed with pop-up trundle (total 4 twins) and a futon (double bed size).

Excellent vacation rental
To say this property was excellent is an understatement. Had an amazing beach area and all the beach toys you needed. Dock, canoe, 2 kayaks, floats, life preservers, -- just everything. Inside the house, it was spacious, clean and plenty of room for 8 adults and 4 small children. The only down side was that in case of rain, there would not have been enough room to eat. But we had perfect weather, so we ate out side on their huge 12 person table. We hope to rent it again next year.
Heaven on Earth
My family and I stayed at this beautiful property over the Fourth of July. The property itself provides the setting for a perfect family vacation. The interior of this home is warm, inviting, and spacious. The fully stocked kitchen enabled us to prepare a variety of homemade dishes while the game room allowed us to play and laugh long into the evening. The yard provided something for everyone - a large grassy area, beach, and boat house for jumping into the lake and swimming in the safety of a small cove. Sitting on the large deck and enjoying the view of the lake enabled us to relax and unwind. I can honestly say I did not want to leave this heavenly place!
Fabulous
It is a wonderful spot. 3 generations of folks enjoyed the view, water, and would all return again.
What a Wonderful Experience!
This is a beautiful property with a great owner who made sure everything was perfect when we arrived. We were able to enjoy a great MDW and hang out at the dock. The available kayaks and floats were great as well! Overall, a wonderful trip and a wonderful experience at the Dam Crows Nesst. Thank you Rose Marie!
Great Mother's Day weekend gathering place
Our children and grandchildren arrived from Pennsylvania and North Carolina at this wonderful gathering place. The beach was thoroughly used by our grandchildren and the lake provided a wonderful two days of boating and fishing for all. The kitchen has everything you need and then some as far as equipment which was great for our family of enthusiastic cooks. Lots of views, deck space, tables for eating and playing cards. The beds were all comfortable. Showers - nice hot water and great water pressure.
Amazing all around!
My family and I had an amazing stay here! The house was perfect for our family (there were 13 of us), the views were incredible, and the 2 major hits: the sandy beach area for the kids and the big deck/table area for us to eat all our meals together. The kitchen has every tool you can possibly need which made our cooking more enjoyable. Rose Marie was so easy to talk to you and answered all my questions timely and clearly. Don't hesitate booking this place, you will love it!
