Relaxing getaway with friends
This place is a wonderful, quaint, cabin. The location is removed from the hustle and bustle elsewhere. Ryan was a wonderful host, very responsive to messages. Two things happened during and after our stay. One was when a plastic chair back broke when a friend sat in it normally, but it wasn’t a big deal. Ryan was very understanding and told us it was probably the winter that had been harsh on them. Second, he was willing to check when I accidentally left my water heater there. Whoopsie on my part, but a wonderful host. Thanks Ryan and family for making it such a great place to stay!

Great spot!
What a wonderful cabin on the water. If you want a place off the beaten path, this is it. While it was just my dog and I, this place could easily sleep 12. WiFi worked great. Nice fire pit with wood. Weber grill worked great! While I didn’t have the best of weather, the large leather couch came in handy for those afternoon naps. Ryan was quick to respond to questions. If you want a place to relax and unwind, this is it.

Nice house
Overall nice. One bedroom is right off the living room, so not ideal if some people are staying up later. The two bedrooms upstairs share a bathroom. The house is well stocked with a beautiful view.

Thanksgiving Gathering
We loved the large kitchen where we gathered to cook with plenty of moving room. The great room was comfortable with a beautiful view of the back yard, dock and waterfront. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit where we roasted marshmallows and made s’mores. We enjoyed the peaceful getaway.

We had great time escaping the city. The cabin had everything we needed for a fun filled trip and it was peaceful and relaxing. Check out Triple V winery down the road. It’s well worth it. Thank you for hosting such a memorable vacation.

Summers end getaway.
Place was a good size for 6 adults and 2 toddlers. The kitchen was a great size for cooking and we had room for everyone at the kitchen table. We had a great time using the kayaks and paddle board, and we got to enjoy the fireplace. Our yellow lab really enjoyed the river access and did lots of swimming. It’s close to the Vir-Mar local beach and quick drive to reedsville, Kilmarnock, and Heathsville, all of which we got to enjoy. It was the perfect end of summer trip.

A wonderful, relaxing vacation away from the city & suburbs!
"Wanted to thank you for the wonderful time we had at your Cabin-on-the Cove. It's a beautiful and relaxing setting. The characterization of the home as a "cabin" doesn't do it justice!!! It's exceptionally attractive both inside and out and the grounds were perfect for walking our dogs and providing dramatic views for me and my adult children. You provided everything we needed. We cooked many meals on the grill and appreciated your providing the extra tank of propane (which, by the way, we did not use). We - meaning my sons - caught enough crabs for for two separate meals for our family of four. We were able to visit several of the surrounding Northern Neck communities and enjoyed our walks through their main streets. We also visited the nearby Vir-Mar beach on two early mornings and were impressed by the 180-degree vista of the Chesapeake Bay. Thanks again."
