We love this little home!

This is our second time staying, and we loved it just as much this time as last! My 12 year old son was so excited to catch different types of fish than what he’s used to in the Shenandoah Valley. We had great luck and caught a wide variety from Blue Crab, Croaker, Spot, Drum, and Flounder. We appreciate a good river cabin - my husband gets his primitive living and I get to sleep in a bed vs a sleeping bag we’ll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful few days at the Little House as part of a longer week exploring VA and WV. The cottage was inviting and well equipped (even Band-Aids!). The property was tranquil with great water views. It was in a secluded area yet a short drive to nearby towns. We enjoyed use of the kayak, relaxing on the porch, and listening to the rain hit the roof on our last night. Rob and the neighbors are welcoming and friendly.

Porch, Paddle, and FISH!

Location is perfect! Went there with my college son and nephew who brought their fishing kayaks. Although there is a tandem and junior kayak and paddle boards available. The screen porch makes you forget all your cares as you are perched higher up but have a close up water view. You can go down some steps to the shore for put-in and paddle the day away. The hosts were friendly and private but were available if we needed anything. The views of the open water and all the wildlife were just what I needed. The flowers and plantings are an added bonus and I love the sea breeze! Beds were very comfy and house is just enough size wise with modern and nostalgic vibes. And cool furnishings! It was really, really hard to leave. Easy drive to many spots in NN.

Magical!

We had an absolutely incredible time slowing down as a family together. Cottage was plenty spacious, stayed cool even in hot temperatures, having a washer and dryer available was terrific after our days of summer adventuring. Enjoyed fishing, paddle boarding, exploring the area. Absolutely loved the screened in porch for reading, relaxing, naps, meals, enjoying incredible views from sun up to sundown including some rain storms that passes through. We enjoyed seeing the crabs, bald eagle, jellyfish, bunnies, herons, enjoyed the sights and the sounds of the wind, water, and crickets at night. We were so fortunate to meet the owner, very kind man, very gracious and hospitable. The whole trip felt like grace. I have incredible memories and incredible pictures that I will return to frequently. Rob, thank you so very much. My heart is so full.

Water front at Candy Point

We very much enjoyed our stay. Loved the water and the use of the tubes to swim with. Loved the sun sets and the sunrises. Was able to get beatiful pictures. The home was clean but the walls needed a good dusting.

A Gem in Northern Neck

This property has stunning views of the water- a super host and an impeccable cottage that was a delight to stay in. We’re already planning our return. Swim in the river, relax on the dog or grill local fish- this place is near perfection. Very clean. Everything you need and a sweet charming cottage that’s been beautifully preserved.

Very disappointed!

The house number was difficult to locate in the dark, very hard to find. No lights were on, and the outside entrance light did not work. The temperature inside the house was 63 degrees when we arrived. The heat pump only got the temperature up to 68 degrees during the two days we were there! The house was not very clean. Cobwebs everywhere. Instructions for the WIFI were unclear! There was no TV in the unit. Dead bugs were found on the floors and in the kitchen. There was no major lighting over the dining room table and even with all the lights on the house was quite dark! To get some of the lights to work one had to use extension cords. With the strong wind our first night one could feel the cold air coming right through the walls of the house! It certainly was not what we were expecting and not what was described in the description of the property!!

Felt like a trip back in time

We had a blast, my kids loved the doll house! And we're comfortable sleeping. We all enjoyed the small beach. The tide was higher though and there were a lot of jellyfish so we couldn't really play as much in the water as we had hoped, esp bc it was so hot during our stay. We didn't use the property to it's full capacity (only went canoeing once) It's a bit of a drive to restaurants so plan your food accordingly, but otherwise, no complaints. It felt a lot like the cabins we stayed in on the great lakes as kids!

Fantastic location

This is the second time we stay in this property and we always leave wanting to come back. The location is perfect, with great views of the creek and river. Water is just a few steps away. The small sandbanks make this place perfect for kids/teens who like exploring. The equipment provided (kayaks, boards) where all we needed to enjoy the river. Highly recommended to families and nature lovers.

We had a wonderful stay at Robert's cottage. The cottage is cozy and comfortable, equipped with everything we needed. The view from the house is wonderful, and the little beach area was perfect for our children to splash in the water. We spent a lot of time reading in the hammock and sitting on the screen porch. My birding husband saw nearly 30 species of birds just around the house. We love visiting the area and frequent Hughlett Point Nature Preserve, which is about 25 minutes from Robert's cottage. We look forward to coming back to Robert's cottage in the future.

Family vacation

After a lengthy car ride, we were welcomed into the home with a note written on a large whiteboard that said “Observe check out 11:00!” Not really a welcoming message. The house was cute and had a great view. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and outside. The down side was finding a jelly fish type of creature dead on the little beach. Being from New England this was not something I thought about. So we were afraid to go in the water. A big mistake on my part. We did have a very quiet and relaxing week. We were surprised that the owner never checked in with us to make sure everything was okay.
