Rustic Quaint Cottage With Spectacular Views
Please read this entire description before renting as it contains detailed information about what to expect and the pet policy and check in and out considerations (at the end of description.
For over 70 years our family has owned Mom and Pop's cottage. Reputed to be the first home on Honest Point. the cottage is the epitome of relaxed uncomplicated living. The house was renovated and upgraded for guests about 8 years ago and we continue to add improvements as the needs arise.
Mom and Pop's cottage is situated on deep water and has a small beach. The shore drops off slowly providing small children with safe places to play in the water. The surrounding acres provide ample opportunities for children and pets to roam around. The owner's family lives in the house next door and is immediately available should there be problems but otherwise tries to leave guests alone to enjoy Mom and Pop's without interference.
The interior includes an equipped kitchen, two bedrooms, (a queen bed in one, 2 doubles in the other), one bathroom w shower, living room office space and two screened porches.
The house is located in the historic Northern Neck region of Virginia. Enjoy crabbing, fishing, boating, kayaking, winery tours, local breweries, and the historic homes of George Washington, Robert E Lee and James Monroe.
If you prefer wildlife rather than night life this is the place for you. Wake up each morning to eagles, geese, herons, and local crabbers fishing their pots. This is a quiet rural location with plenty of acreage which will give you the chance to get away from the bustle and stress of the city. Most amenities can be reached within 30 minutes.
A note for those from the city -- we live in an area where "critters" are a fact of life. Some of them are a pleasure to see and some of them are a nuisance. We make every effort to accent the positive and eliminate the negative critters that you may encounter . Should you encounter any unwelcome visitors you should call us immediately and we will address the problem.
Can be rented for the summer or the year at reduced rates

About the host
Hosted by Nancy Royall
Dick and Nancy are an active retired couple living in the Northern Neck who met while students at Duke U. We enjoy travelling, pickleball, sailing, and outings with our friends and working with the Westmoreland Players. We are excited about meeting you and welcoming you to Mom and Pop's Honest Point Home.
Why they chose this property
The house was originally purchased by Edmund and Grace Royall -- Mom and Pop. It has been a haven for friends and relatives ever since.
What makes this property unique
The views from this house stretch all the way to Maryland. This house was my husband's grandparent's home and is the oldest house on Honest Point, dating from the early 1900s. It is comfortable and homey.
