The Blue Tango was clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location is exactly what we wanted since we chose to walk into town. The host Michael was quick to respond to any questions. This was my second time staying at The Blue Tango and I look forward to returning.

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.

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.

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.

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.
