Welcome to the Wind Family's "Rappahannock River Luxury," eastern Virginia's premier luxury vacation rental! Pamper yourself in luxury and escape to paradise in this massive, state of the art, 5300 square foot estate with million dollars views only steps away from the scenic Rappahannock River!
Here you will find every amenity necessary to create lasting memories with your family and friends. Watch the sunrise from your bed over an entire mile of water. Enjoy breathtaking views while eating breakfast prepared in your gourmet kitchen before heading to the river! Enjoy sunbathing on our private dock with boat lift and covered deck, head out for cruising and watersports on glassy water as far as you can see. Then enjoy a tropical drink as you relax on floats or catch crabs and rockfish from the dock for the tastiest dinner you can imagine! Get some exercise in the paddle boat, kayaks, canoe, and trying your skills out while cruising up and down the coast on stand up paddle boards--all provided for your enjoyment. When the day is done, head inside where you can challenge a fellow vacationer to billiards, air hockey, foosball, ping pong, cards, or any of a number other games provided with the home. The conclusion to the day--eating dinner off of the multiple grills while relaxing on the deck with a glass of wine will create a memory that will last a lifetime!

Beautiful property on the Rappahannock River. Can tell it’s a little older. Everything was clean. It was nice that the linens were provided. We did have to make the beds with the sheets that were provided. The water toys were a blessing. Kitchen nicely stocked. Ashley was easy to get in touch with and check in was seamless.
What a nice stay on the Rappahannock River! The home is overly spacious with breathtaking views. Kitchen is fully stocked with all of our needs met. Accommodations were plenty for everyone.
Lovely stay! Can’t be more grateful for all of the space! We enjoyed the deck and view. The downstairs area was the perfect hang out area with space for the kids to play and adults to talk. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. The water boats were a great addition the kids enjoyed in the river. Adults enjoyed taking the chairs out to the dock. A little older home, but everything seemed clean with some updates noticeable and updates in progress. We really enjoyed our time.
This was the perfect getaway. My friends and family loved the home. Clean and easy to accommodate anyone. We loved every minute of staying here. Would stay again!!
We had a wonderful stay. The views are magnificent and the home was spacious. We definitely recommend! Ashley was very communicative and great to work with!
We had a Men’s Fishing trip and the house was more than accommodating! We caught Perch and Catfish right from the pier and the views were truly amazing. Everything in the listing was accurate and the host communicated very well. We will definitely stay there again!!!
We enjoyed our stay on the Rappahannock River. The sweeping views and large living room definitely allowed for a nice relaxing weekend. The kitchen is more than we needed. I would definitely recommend this one!
We had a wonderful stay in Tappahannock on the Rappahannock River. Everything in the house was clean and well kept. The space the 5 bedrooms offered gave all us an opportunity to relax. Ashley was extremely hospitable and great to work with! Definitely recommend!!
Ended up being the two of us so we had a lot of space. Enjoyed cooking dinner and the breathtaking river views. My recommendation is waking up early and catching that sunrise. Would recommend without hesitation.

It was a nice location and the house was nice but it was unclean
Nice River home that I would definitely recommend to others. The large downstairs kitchen and living room has open space for everyone to gather in the same area. We all enjoyed our private bedrooms. Loved the fire pit and ability to go on the dock. Ashley was very accommodating and we loved the Wind Vineyards Laurel wine! We will be back!
We had a great stay in Tappahannock for the holidays! The home seemed extremely clean and well kept. Looks like there are some recent new upgrades with flooring and furniture as the home isn't new construction, but that was expected from the advertisement. Ashley was very nice to work with and we enjoyed the wine from Wind Vineyards left on the counter. A must try if you are in Tappahannock! This home isn't in much of a neighborhood, but we felt like we had plenty of privacy and felt safe. I would definitely recommend and hope we have chance to return!
Overall the property was clean and nice - lots of room and beautiful location and views. Roofed dock area was nice, but there were no chairs on the dock (like shown in pictures). A number of dock boards were missing (we were warned by the host), but the two dock ladders were not functional in getting out of the water (ended up using the neighbors ladders to get out of the river) and the dock overall needs maintenance and upkeep.
Unless the pier platform is redone,we would not stay again. Too dangerous to walk on.
Never got the stove top to work.Property manage not helpful.
Perfect place for our retreat, would like to stay again if problems fixed.

Decent stay
The property was far from clean and welcoming when we arrived. Beer cans were all over the yard, fire pit was missing the tray, kayaks and paddle boats were filthy and some under water, bath tub was not working, dock is dangerous and some wood planks are falling apart, a door window fell out of the door while someone was opening it (very dangerous!).While all of this was happening, the host did not respond (and still hasn’t) to my messages.
Despite all of this, we had a wonderful time because the location is phenomenal and there was plenty of space for a big family weekend. Would recommend as long as you are willing to put in some work when you arrive!
A group of us ladies had a nice stay enjoying the views and cooking in Tappahannock at this beautiful waterfront home. We all had our own rooms to stay in and bathrooms and bedrooms seemed perfectly cleaned. We bought groceries at the local Food Lion and cooked all weekend together. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could have needed. We were especially surprised at some of the nice serving dishes available. The large table was more than generous for our smaller group. We sat on the deck and walked down to the dock to enjoy the water. They had some nice Adirondack chairs to enjoy the dock. We didn’t use any of the water toys but thought what a paradise for children. We hope to do our gathering again!

Pros: large space and large rooms. Kitchen had virtually everything we needed. Beautiful view of the River. Cons: every room had something wrong with it. It was the running joke of the weekend. Broken shower door, non functional sink, moldy shower curtain. Every room had bugs in it. The beds weren’t made when we arrived. The games are all missing most items, the foosball table was missing the tubing so the ball would drop directly on the floor after making it into the goal. There was a fishing hook on the carpet that a child stepped on. The outdoor property was not taken care of. We had to spend a significant amount of time cleaning it up ourselves to use it. There was a loose LED light strip/wire on the back deck that our toddler stepped on. There were tree branches and cobwebs all over. The kayak had a hole in it and a member of our party was stranded in the river for two hours.

Son getting married near by
First, let me say that the views were awesome. The house had plenty of room for my family that was coming from out of town to our son's wedding. The beds were comfortable and everything thing was clean on the inside.
There are 2 refrigerators and 2 sets of washers and dryers, so if you stay the whole week you can wash what you need to.
The house appears to be going through some updates, due to wear and tear, but it will be awesome when completed. The game room was nice and had a bathroom but the equipment needed to be replaced. Lots of games upstairs.
There was an error with one of the sheet sizes and that was quickly resolved and the housekeeper was very nice and accommodating. She even left us with extra towels.
