Annual Family Catch-Up in Tappahannock

Comfortable beds, plenty of room to stretch out & enjoy each other’s company, reading on the sunporch, water balloons on the lawn, fishing and kite flying on the dock, a visit to Fossil Beach ( the littles went home with three shark teeth), early morning walks at the wildlife preserve, and a lovely celebratory dinner at 1710 Tavern. A wonderful week with family! Thanks so much for allowing us to experience such a beautiful place!

Charming House, Beautiful Waterfront

This house was all that we had hoped for and more. We stayed for a week. It feels like a well cared for, much loved, family home. The waterfront view is spectacular. The swimming is great for kids who are learning to swim: shallow, soft bottom, gentle current. At the end of the pier the water ranges from 2-4 feet, depending on the tide. The Rappahannock River is shallow with a muddy bottom almost everywhere within 20 miles of Tappahannock. The host was very responsive to all of our questions before we arrived. No problems arose while we were there, so I never had to contact him during our stay, except to ask for a late checkout, which he provided. The house is not in perfect condition, a few doors stick a little, for example, but only very minor things like that. The house was ideal for a big family gathering. All six of the bedrooms are nice and some two are quite large. There is a big basement. I think this family likes to play pool because the pool table has all the trappings: chalk, wires for scorekeeping, etc.

Was perfect for our wedding weekend

We got married in Tappahannock the weekend of December 21. I rented this property for my bride and her bridesmaids to stay and get ready in the night/day of our wedding and then we stayed at the house an extra day after. The property has amazing views of the river and tons of space. The home is dated, however it is shown through the pictures in the listing. We would rent this property again. The owners were great to work with!

My family and I came to the area to spend Thanksgiving with my son. This property was the perfect place for our family. We loved being on the river and watching the sunrises in the morning. The house was clean and had everything that we needed. Scott was easy to get a hold of. We would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful property

This river home was truly a gift to my family. The location is beautiful, the house is cozy and has everything you need to settle in and feel at home. The house is so much bigger than it looks in pictures and there are so many rooms that you can spread out and relax easily. The dock was great and the beach you get at low tide was a favorite for me and my son. I hope to get to come back to this house one day for another stay! The host was also great with communication!

Enjoyed the river view

We enjoyed our time and especially liked the river view. Great sunrises which we enjoyed since we were up early with a baby anyways. Old house but has some updates and character. The mattresses gave some of my family back trouble and would highly recommend new ones. Also, curtains would be nice for the windows. I’m aware that pets are allowed at this place but better cleaning afterwards would be nice. The couch in the sitting area by the kitchen was covered in it! There was also still a lot on the floor.

Extended Labor Day Holiday

We had an enjoyable 5 day stay with our family over the labor day holiday. We found the house to be well kept with sufficient amenities to make your vacation enjoyable. We brought a boat and a couple of jet skis so we were able to take full advantage of the river. Also there were some water floats in the shed to use if you wanted to just hang out by the dock. A few notes of caution: The water at the dock is shallow and when tide is low, we found that our boat's lower drive, when all the way down, drug in the silt. Finding gas on the river is a challenge. There is a marina close by but accessibility is hit or miss depending on tides. When we were there, the operating hours mostly aligned with lower tide levels so we just bought gas in town and brought it back in 5 gallon cans to keep the skis running. We were told the next closest marina with gas was 15 miles down river and there was nothing up river. Lastly, while the house has a basement with pool table and other games, we found the air to be too musty to stay down there so we confined our stay to the upper floors which was not a problem for our group. All in all, it was a great stay

Perfect!

This property was perfect for our small girls trip getaway! The house was maybe even too big for us but it was nice to be able to spread out. The kitchen seems to have been updated recently and was well equipped with everything we needed, but I would recommend bringing a good egg pan. The patio was perfect for evenings and grilling (definitely bring bugspray) and the view of the river was stunning. I also had my two-year-old in tow and was pleasantly surprised at the baby proofing already in place in the house. There are outlet covers and baby gates available. There was a nice beach area during low tide that we were able to go down and play. A good find for a group of all ages!
