Peaceful Stay

Unfortunately our stay in the area was necessitated by a death in the family. The Little Blue Cottage was a perfect peaceful refuge as we were handling arrangements. The location on the water was so tranquil (and our dogs loved it too)!

Cute cottage with great location

The little blue cottage had everything we needed- plenty of space, kayaks for fun and clean towels and sheets. We really enjoyed the short commute to Wake beach and the views from the house.

Lovely cottage on the River

We enjoyed staying at this cottage so much, we had to come back for a return visit. It was right on the water, with kayaks to use, and a pier to sit and enjoy the beauty of the water, or fish. The cottage was perfect for our family in that it had a large gathering room so everyone can be together to hang out and enjoy the view.

Excellent Stay!

We had a great time here. The house is adorable, completely well-stocked and perfect for little kids. You can tell the owner really cares about guests, there were so many little touches throughout like snacks, white noise machines, nightlights, etc etc. Very comfortable stay, and the location right on the water could not be beat. We hope to come back again soon!

Great weekend getaway

My family and I stayed at this wonderful lakefront cottage as we attended a family gathering in Whitestone The cottage was perfect! The picture windows offer a perfect view of the lake and we enjoyed a morning kayak ride right from thr floating dock in front of the cottage. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary essentials and we had clean towels available for our use. Would definitely stay again!

Weekend getaway

We loved this home. It was just as advertised. So courteous leaving towels, paper products etc. The location was ideal and the neighboring homes were quiet. We fished all day and into the night. We used the kayaks that were provided and had a great time. The home is lovely and so perfect for our stay. Would highly recommend this home and would love to stay again.

Wonderful Waterfront Cottage!

We loved our stay here. The property is very clean and well stocked. I really appreciated all the supplies that came with the house, i.e hand soaps, paper towels, etc. Usually small items like these are not provided at rental houses, so this a nice touch for us! We loved the dock and waterviews. It is located in a quiet neighborhood but amenities are close by. If you are looking for a quiet and serene get away this is it! Highly recommend and would 100 percent book again!

Perfect Anniversary Weekend

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at TLBC. The location was perfect for dinner in Urbanna at Something Different complete with live music and then a day exploring Kilmarnock. The house was so comfy and clean. Kudos to the high quality bedding and blackout curtains. The basket of snacks and coffee pods was a nice touch. If you live in Richmond or on the Peninsula, then you can't go wrong with this riverfront property only a short drive away.

Great week on the river.

We had a wonderful week at The Little Blue Cottage in Topping, VA. It was very clean and the hosts thought of lots of nice details -from hand soap in the bathroom to play kitchen with grocery cart for the kids, to life jackets for the kayaks. We had great weather and caught crabs from the dock. It is an older cottage and has some quirks, but that’s what made our stay fun and unique. The neighborhood is good to walk in and we meet several friendly neighbors. Be sure to read “ The Little Blue Cottage” kids book if you are fortunate enough to stay there! Patti

TLBC is a place for tranquility.

This was a gem of a cottage....right on the water. We couldn't help but stare out the windows and gaze at the water, the birds, the sunrise and the sunset. The cottage itself was very comfortable. Our favorite room was the enclosed sun room or family room. It was large enough for 4 adults and 2 kids to gather, share stories, eat, play games, etc. all while enjoying the beautiful view. Our family really enjoyed using the kayaks which were provided. We brought our own fishing pole, and were able to fish right from the pier. The neighborhood was quiet, and at night we could see the stars clearly. There was a small beach area right down the road, and actually saw a beautiful rainbow while sitting on the shore line. The cottage was clean, beds very comfortable, and we appreciated the storage room with washer and dryer, and room for our gear.

Quiet spot on the water

Older renovated home on a tributary of the Rappahannock River close to the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. We enjoyed the onsite kayaks and exploring the area. Fished a little and crabbed off the pier. There were lots of jellies in the water. The pier could use some repairs-one piling is rotted. The grill could have used some cleaning-there is a gas grill onsite that worked. The neighborhood is fairly quiet, except for some jet skis going by occasionally, and the houses are close together. We had everything we needed in the house. We were very pleased that bottled water is provided. The table on the deck was wobbly, couldn't find a tool to try to tighten things up, and the side door to the covered outdoor dining area needs some attention on the door handle. It is hard to make sure it locks. Overall a nice place.
