Frank was an amazing host. The house was beautiful. Even better in person. There was more than enough room for 5 adults and 4 kids. We enjoyed the beach, SUPs, amazing deck views and nightly dips in the hot tub. We enjoyed the local restaurants and had plenty of room to have a few large family dinners. Can't wait to book for next year!!

Thank you for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure hosting your group! We hope to see you back soon!
River Retreat home was a wonderful place for our family to gather.It was well stocked with kitchen essentials and fun activities for the kids. The home is beautifully decorated and it makes you feel like your really on vacation.Frank communicated very well when needed.
We had a great stay as a family of 14 – heavily utilized the kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, and hot tub. Well stocked and well thought out for needs of a big group. Frank was extremely responsive and communicative, which we appreciated greatly. Montross itself does not have much to do, but we took 60-90 minute trips to No Limits Skydiving, a movie theater, and Kings Dominion - but mostly just enjoyed time by and on the water. Would definitely recommend the house and the host!
House was beautiful and roomy. Hot tub was great, view was amazing. The set up of the rooms was nice with included towels and everything. We will definitely want to stay here again, don't have a single negative thing to say.
We had a fantastic time at the beautiful River House. It was the perfect getaway from our busy surroundings, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed playing pool, swimming in the river, fishing, and exploring the beach for unique rocks and shells. While the nearest restaurants and grocery store are a short drive away, every meal we had at the local restaurants was absolutely delicious!
We enjoyed staying at the house. It is generous in size with comfy sofas and a huge, beautiful kitchen. We loved the proximity to the water and all of the water toys were well used. It was an enjoyable family vacation.
We had the best time! It is a gorgeous and spacious house, and the beach and dock were perfect. Frank was so kind and easy to work with and we would all love to stay here again- highly recommend!
Gorgeous location with views to match. House was spacious and accommodated our group of 13 easily. Weather wasn’t great so we appreciated the comfy furniture and all the different places to sit and either read or plays games which we did a lot of. When the weather permitted we enjoyed sitting on the deck enjoying the peace that comes with being near water. A few of us braved kayaking and paddle boarding and some of us swam. The beach is perfect for all sorts of fun and sunbathing. The kitchen was stocked with the basics and more. Beds were all comfortable with plenty of pillows. Highlight was the swivel round couch which was perfect for reading, napping, tv watching. We definitely want to comeBack when the weather is warmer. This is the perfect river getaway!!
House was perfect size for our 12 people with enough space to get away. Wish the kitchen was better stocked for meal prep and serving. But the views are amazing!!
The house is beautifully decorated and on a nice lot with plenty of parking. The large well equipped kitchen was perfect for family meals. There was plenty of space and the view of the water was magnificent. Everyone had a lovely time.
We had a lovely stay - not a thing to complain about. The owners were very accommodating. A nice retreat at any time of the year...would be extra fun in the summer months!!
The perfect home for our group of 13. Ample space for everyone. Was great having to water and beach area so close to the home! Activities for all ages! Highly recommend!
We had a great stay for an 80th birthday celebration. Clean, spacious house with large kitchen and dining area. Bikes and water toys were fun for the kids. Large deck to gather for sunset. Community pool was an added bonus for the really hot days!
The home really worked great for our family. 3 generations where easily accommodated. First floor bedrooms where a must. Unique and spacious interior. Could not ask for a better spot on the water. If we return to the area we would certainly want to stay her again
Held annual family vacation, 5 couples plus kids. House was perfect and more than large enough. Location on the water could not be beat and the beach was great for younger kids, very safe. Host was very responsive. Look forward to next visit.
This home was absolutely gorgeous, I was pleasantly impressed by all the beautiful details of the home, from the large, inviting, accommodating kitchen- to all the thoughtfully placed bedrooms on all levels. The owner was great to communicate with! We look forward to returning!
Everything was great, beautiful house, pickleball driveway, great screened porch. Sadly the VRBO app listed an elevator (elderly grandparents needed to get upstairs) but Frank worked with them to help get our fee back.
My family had a wonderful time at this amazing property! The house was spacious and worked well with our four families coming together. The kids had a great time playing in the river, fishing from the dock, and playing games in the house. The adults loved many things, but especially sitting in the crows nest or on the deck in the hot tub overlooking the river with a drink and a good book. We mostly cooked our own food and the kitchen had all the necessities. We made good use of the bikes, SUPs, kayaks, and some yard games that were in the garage. And getting to watch some World Cup on the giant TV in the living room was icing on the cake. All in all, we were thrilled with the space. A big thanks to our host, Frank, who a timely communicator and went above and beyond. He stopped by twice during our stay—once to clean the hot tub and once to make some planned repairs. While he was there, he also took care of a few minor things we pointed out, all with minimal disturbance to our day. He’s a nice guy with a great attitude! A big thanks to him for a great week.

Thank you for your great review!
It was great meeting you.
We enjoyed tremendously. Lots of activities and room to keep busy at house for entire family. Other than eating out on two occasions, we stayed at house for the week. Jellyfish kept us out of water so enjoyed the pool, hot tub and kayaks on the water. Fishing and crabbing were fun for the kids. We enjoyed the vacation tremendously!
This home was VERY clean, well-maintained, and spacious. Beautiful view of (and access to) the river. Great spot to unwind! We were disappointed at the amount of jellyfish in the water, but nothing to be done about that- glad we had a hot tub and access to the community pool. Also wonderful communication from host. Thanks for the stay!
The house is even more beautiful and expansive than the photos here show. Everything looked new and was completely pristine. Debbie was very communicative and flexible on our check-out time. And getting to use the kayaks was an unexpected treat. We couldn’t have had a better stay—thank you!
We had such a wonderful family vacation! The house is beautiful - spacious and accommodating. We had a lot of fun making family meals in the amazing kitchen. We loved all of the water sports - kayaks, SUPs, floats - but the kids (and adults!) loved jumping off the dock the most. Frank was super responsive and just a nice guy. We had a great time and hope to visit again.
