Our stay was lovely. I definitely overpacked not realizing so many things would've been provided. The place was clean, warm, and cozy. We did a lot of cooking so having a nice full kitchen was perfect. The neighborhood was really nice for our walks, lots of christmas lights and even a pony for a nearby neighbor. We mostly stayed in watched movies and played board games since we came in the off season. I was surprised to find that the showers were attached to two large tubs which were perfect for a good soak.

The home was as expected. The house was clean, and communication was prompt. We loved the location since we could walk to town and explore for the day. We could also have drinks in town and walk back to the house. The river view was exceptional. We hope to be back.

Fully-stocked kitchen and comfortable space for the two of us. Linens were showing some age/wear and we struggled a bit with the door lock, but that may have been user error. Overall, great location with a beautiful view and close proximity to restaurants and shops.

Lovely little cottage right across from the Rappahannock River. Very quaint area, people there very friendly. Ate at Urbanna Seafood & Market while there. Beautiful setting on the water, and good food!! Highly recommend the Blue Tango!

The property is perfect for a small family in a quiet neighborhood. The property is described as a 2 bed 2 bath home. The description would be more helpful if it said one bedroom, bath, kitchen, kiving room and outdoor living space was all upstairs with one bath and laundry down. My sister and I sometimes travel with our. 88 year old mother and she would not have been able to navigate tjhis property at all. it also wouldn’t hurt to say that this property was not handicap accessible, nor would it of been toddler friendly with direct access to the stairs or just getting a baby up and down multiple times a day. Over all a great property for the right group, close enough to the historic triangle.

Ginya Visit to see 92yo Mom

It was just as advertised. Thanks for recommending Something Different and the Merroir restaurants. We missed them other visits. Also enjoyed The Wooden Pickle and Small Town Burger. Thanks for arranging for pool pass. It was definitely hot enough. We couldn't figure out how to use our Netflix. No matter. It was a mostly unplugged weekend and the leisurely pace was most welcome.Thanks for hosting us!

Great property for our family reunion visit to Urbanna! Owner was communicative and gave great directions (trash is now Tuesday and Friday though, not Monday, and no town recycling). Nice, quiet street with water views and easy access to downtown Urbanna and the town pool. The second bedroom is down the stairs and off the garage, it does have a connected bathroom but fyi for families coming with smaller children. Unit was clean, organized, and had the main essentials. The pullout sofa is right next to the main bedroom upstairs. Great deck views, nice small yard to be out in, and easy access to Jamestown and Yorktown. Check out Something Different for dinner, Urbanna Pearl for oysters like you’ve never had, Wooden Pickle for breakfast, and visit the town museum to see the Mitchell Map, one of the earliest maps of the eastern US! Great visit, will be back again!

Great small town property

My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Tango over Columbus Day weekend. With Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens as our ultimate destinations, this was a perfect midway point to make for a short drive to each park. Although we didn't spend much time in and right around Urbanna, the town was very quaint with beautiful views of the river. Look forward to coming back again soon.
