About this property

Rent-n-relax Oasis


Escape to a peaceful riverfront retreat where comfort meets nature. Lovingly crafted with family skill and soulful living, this bright and cozy getaway is designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and truly feel at home.

With over 900 feet of York River frontage, 2 acres of private land, and a warm, light-filled home, it’s the perfect place to reconnect—with yourself, loved ones, and the beauty of the land.

Inside, you’ll find an open-concept countryside home filled with natural light and thoughtful design for flow and calm. Curl up by the wood-burning fire, sleep soundly in a comfy queen or double bed, and enjoy a clean, stylish bathroom. The open kitchen makes it easy to cook, share meals, or entertain with ease.

Step outside and let the river be your guide—wander along the shoreline, sip your morning coffee in the fresh air, or stargaze in the quiet night sky. In winter, adventure begins right at your doorstep with snowmobile trails leading off the property.

Whether you’re here for rest, romance, or adventure, this is a space to truly restore.

Great stay!

We loved our stay with Lorie! It was such a cozy spot on a nice, quiet piece of property - perfect for a weekend get away. Our pup Oscar really enjoyed his stay as well! If you stay here, I highly recommend opting in for the bagels and scones by Chef Shaun - perfect thing to have in the morning. Would definitely recommend!

Fabulous Weekend

This is the best place we've been at! Peaceful, tranquil, close to town, very private with fabulous beds! Everything was provided from any kind of kitchen utensil you could want to soap & washcloth in the bathroom.The netted gazebo made it the perfect spot to relax outside after a long day and the comfy furnishing inside were also perfect. I could very easily live there as my permanent home. I loved it all!Thank you Lori, for being the perfect hostess!!

We had a really great time there: the house is really nice and well located. It's also well equipped and furnished. The garden (or should Is say the park) is very big and peaceful. Unfortunately we couldn't do any fire in the garden due to the fire ban in the country. Lorrie, the owner is really nice and helpful: she's always available when we need something. If we ever come back to the area we'll seriously consider this house again.

Relaxing Getaway with my 2 boys

My 2 young sons and I stayed at Lorie’s charming apartment cottage from July 21-25 and we had a fabulous time. The cottage was in excellent condition, everything was where you’d expect it to be and had everything we needed for a home away from home experience. There was a friendly dog on the property that would greet us whenever he was outside and Lorie is always readily available should you need anything as she lives on the property. Lorie was a great host—she even provided us with a binder full of information so that we could make the most of our stay. We came for the mineral museum but experienced so much more! Would highly recommend Lorie’s property!

- very clean - quiet - cozy spot with everything you might need - well equipped kitchen, bbq, wood stove (for heat in cooler months) - the furniture in the living area is white - just be aware if you’re bringing a pet - access to the York river is just down the hill from the rental space

NYE Getaway

Lori's property was a wonderful escape from the city. The space is warm and inviting with its decor and amenities. She has a wonderful book collection that kept me busy by the wood fire. Additionally, the outdoor property is situated steps away from the river and was a beautiful backdrop to enhance my stay.

Lovers Oasis

This space was cozy, fully equipped with everything you need, relaxing, nature filled and very quiet, which is what we needed... We took a canoe ride down the river and stopped at some sandy places to swim and do some fishing... Lori the host was very nice and super chill and her dogs are so sweet and well behaved... Overall it was a great experience and we would go back...

Great spot for couples!

I rented from Lorie for my boyfriend and I to celebrate our anniversary together. We had an amazing time and loved the cozy feel of the place. The rental was super clean and had everything we could need from a great movie selection to basic kitchen spices and appliances. The wood stove is great touch and makes it very hard to want to leave the coziness of the rental. Lorie was very helpful in the check in process and days leading up to our weekend away. We’re very pleased and hope to return!

Unique and Comfortable

This was one of the most unique properties we have stayed in. It has an incredibly decorated and comfortable apartment, well equipped kitchen, and amazing back patio for reading in the shade or enjoying an evening campfire. Lori was always helpful and gracious. We kayaked and swam in the York River just down the path from the house. It was an excellent trip! I would highly recommend this property!

Lovely oasis

Thank you Lorie for such an enjoyable stay! Such a warm and cozy place; so welcoming and comfortable. Great kitchen with everything you need. We really enjoyed our catered meal from local Chef Shaun and delivered to our place by his lovely wife Carly. A lovely stay and everything thought through to make us feel at home and in need of nothing. It was wonderful arriving with our place already cozy and warm with the fire already prepared upon arrival! We highly recommend and hope to visit again real soon!

Perfect getaway if not for my dog injury caused by owner’s dog

This property was perfect for my getaway with my adult daughter. The unit was impeccably clean. The outdoor patio with the BBQ was great. We really enjoyed our canoe rides on the York river that runs along the back of the property. The only negative was that our small dog was attacked by one of the big dogs that live on the properly. While I accept that we bear a part of the responsibility for the attack, the owner should have warned us to keep our dog away from her dogs. Quite frankly my daughter and I were ourselves a bit intimidated by the dogs at times.
