About this property
The River House at Whitestone: Pet Friendly, Secluded Private Beach, w/ Kayaks!
This rustic, beautifully decorated house sits high up in the trees overlooking the Rappahannock River and offers beautiful views whether you're sitting on the wrap around back deck, the benches on the dock, or down on the peaceful and secluded sandy private beach. You can get to the beach by stairs or taking a short stroll down the "nature trail" ravine (which our dogs love).
The interior is open, well-lit and beautifully decorated with artistic touches and inviting spaces. There's an office area, library, a baby grand piano, and a jacuzzi in the primary bedroom... everything you need for a relaxing escape from everyday life.
The house can sleep 12, but only 10 in private bedrooms. There is a queen bed in the loft master bedroom and adjoining master bath, 3 bedrooms on the basement level that leads outside (2 twin beds in one, 2 more twins in another, and a king bed in the third). There is a shared full bath on this floor as well. The main floor has a full bath and pull out couch that sleeps 2. The kitchen and dining room are well stocked and open layout - perfect for large gatherings with lots of food!
There are baby/kid friendly amenities as well like plastic forks, bowls, plates and cups in the kitchen. There are also baby gates, a baby walker on wheels, booster seat, highchair, and a pack n' play.
There are also dog friendly amenities including dog bowls and sheets to cover the couches.
We also have two kayaks, fishing poles, blow up floats, beach chairs, floating beach chairs, a beach umbrella and sand castle making beach toys to share!
** Note: there is no garbage service so we request that you take all garbage/recycling to a local facility (house binder provides multiple options) or we can offer to take it for a fee of $20

About the host
Hosted by John Fralin
We are so excited to share our property with you. It holds some very special memories over the last thirty years including a family wedding, family reunions, and four generations of family gatherings. Our parents (who were also grandparents and great grandparents) bought this land in 1975 and eventually built their dream home for their retirement from jobs in Washington D.C.
Our pets are just as much a part of our family as the humans, and we welcome your families, including the fur babies.
The sunsets here are epic, the house is perfect for family gatherings and the kayaks are for adventuring.

Why they chose this property
Our family chose White Stone, Virginia to build this house because all of the immediate family and so much of the extended family settled in Virginia. Instead of driving to North Carolina for family vacations, which was becoming increasingly more difficult with more great/grandkids being born, we decided to build something only an hour outside of Richmond where we could enjoy the beach and each other more often.
What makes this property unique
Our property is unique not just from an architectural standpoint, but also because it is one of very few properties that has its own sandy beach. The house overlooks the water and bridge and the sunsets are just absolutely epic.
