Fun place
We knew the Northern Neck. For others a bit out of the way. But it's the land of pleasant living and a great place to relax. Lots of ways to enjoy the water. We used the crab pots, canoe and kayak. Inconvenient to have to bring sheets and towels when you're driving cross-country.

Family getaway
The house had plenty of space for our family of nine 3 couples and 3 children ages 13,12,6. The kitchen had everything we needed. We loved spending time on the dock fishing and crabbing. Although we wasn't able to swim most of the time because of all the jelly fish we still enjoyed our vacation

Great Family Time
We really enjoyed everything this place had to offer for a fun river experience. The grandkids/kids enjoyed hours of jumping off the dock and the water toys included. My husband enjoyed being able to have his boat secured at the wonderful pier/dock with fish cleaning station. We sunned, went boating, caught lots of crabs, enjoyed beautiful sunsets and cooked on all of the outdoor options available. Lots of outdoor space to gather together. I especially loved the outdoor shower and appreciated the comfortable beds. My only complaint (and it may be good for others) is that we brought lots of supplies and food to cook meals for our large family and there was not much room in the refrigerators and cabinets because of the owner's supplies. I just stored what I could in bags and it all worked out. The longer I was there, the more I fell in love with the place.
