    Very nice get a way. Peaceful with a beautiful view of the river. We woke up one morning listening to the waves coming ashore. Totally awesome! The owners were very cordial and accommodating. Would definitely return again. A++

    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.

    My wife and I stayed at the cottage on the water at Candy Point. She had vacationed there as a child. It was so beautiful and quiet. We will definitely be back.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
