We have upgraded the pier furniture with outdoor cushions readily available in a pier storage box to enjoy being right on the water. Seating for 6 and room for extra chairs.
The Pier has built in fishing rod holders and we love fishing from the dock. Visit RW’s tackle between Callao and Lottsburg to get your bait and tackle, there is always something to buy there.
After a day outdoors, enjoy the outdoor shower with hot and cold water and the best view ever for any outside shower.
Then head to the grill for something good to eat.

Read their reviews and hope you choose to vacation here.
Chris, thank you for sharing your home with us. Great place to stay. Beautiful waterfront home. Clean, comfortable furniture and beds. All the amenities you could want. The owner was incredibly accommodating.
This property was even better than described. Everything was clean, the beds and furniture were extremely comfortable. The back porch was awesome with great views saw several bald eagles overall a great stay, it would have been nice if mother nature would have been more cooperative it was cloudy and windy with rough water that made outdoor activities limited but will definitely plan on a return visit next year.
We visited this beautiful house two weeks ago and I cannot fully describe the peace and serenity we all felt that week. My girlfriend’s son and his wife fished for hours every day on the comfortable spacious dock. Most of us took at least one nap on the wonderful daybed swing in the enclosed porch. Everything we needed was there, especially in the kitchen. The house was very clean and we loved the outside shower. There were kayaks to use, a hot tub, and a gas fire pit. I would highly recommend families to come rent this house for a peaceful, fun vacation. The excitement came from spotting a couple of bald eagles, multiple groups of stingrays, magnificent sunrises, expansive views without interruption, and not needing to go anywhere else all week because we had it all right there. We laughed, we swam, we cooked, we grilled, we napped, we danced, we fished, we popped a cork or two. The house was a delight in every way. And Chris, our host, made it so easy to enjoy. (PS Chris: the percolator made great coffee and now I have one just like it in my kitchen!)
This property location is fantastic- and the amenities are outstanding. A day bed swing on the porch, a hot tub, and what a view. One unique aspect of the property is unobstructed view- there are no neighbors to the left of the property! It’s a stunning, special location. Can’t wait to go back!
This house is immaculate. We had everything that we needed and more. Everything just feels new and of great quality. The kayaks, SUP, and floats are easily accessible, the hot tub is lovely, the dock/ dock furniture is well maintained, the community dock is accessible to drop in a boat easily, the back porch is cool and comfortable, and that view is ONE OF A KIND. We had a great time visiting Kilmarnock, Warsaw has some really cute restaurants, and the brewery in Callao is really fun for some nighttime trivia. The Mexican restaurant has some great margaritas as well. We also had a really cool trip out to the enchanted forest in Warsaw. This was great for kids and adults. Loved the slow moving, non touristy vibe of it all. Such a great vacation. We will be returning many times in the future, I highly recommend staying here
We loved this place! The owners have gone above and beyond to make this place comfortable and relaxing. Every detail about the property was explained and clearly typed up in a binder so we had no questions about anything. The only issue that we had, which was a weather related issue causing a timer to be off during the day instead of the night on the water heater, was corrected immediately. This place was more wonderful than we had hoped. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend this to our family and friends!
This listing may be newer to Vrbo but what a find! It gives you the feel of a quiet lake house but a little bit of ocean feel with the waves and private beach area. Everything is labeled and the house has everything and more that you could need. The swing on the porch and wonderful deck furniture on the dock were out favorites. It is a quiet neighborhood but close to town for an ice cream treat or to get some fresh seafood. Everything was neat and clean. It is such a relaxing place to stay and a beautiful place. Will plan to go back again. The owner is quick to respond and give tips as needed. Excellent property!!!!!!!!
If I could leave 6 stars for everything I would! The Rivah House was perfect for our family to get away.
Our family greatly enjoyed spending the week at this lovely home where the Potomac meets the Bay. Awesome views! Chris, the host, was very responsive and kind. We enjoyed kayaking, the private beach, fishing, chatting while sitting comfortably on the dock’s cushioned furniture, relaxing in the hot tub, hanging out on the screened porch listening to the lapping waves (especially the swinging bed), resting on the hammock listening to the birds, and even the outdoor shower (lol). The house was clean, organized, lovely, warm and had all we needed for the week. On our last night, we bought soft shelled crabs from Baughan’s seafood market. Yummy. Our only regret is we wish we could have stayed longer! The Samson’s
Perfect relaxing getaway. Access to the house is simple and the owner Chris is quick and easy to communicate with. House is comfortable and has all the necessities we needed. Location is quiet and peaceful but is just a quick drive away from several good restaurants and stores. We spent our time reading on the screened in porch, relaxing in the hot tub, fishing from the dock and just enjoying the view. What a special place, looking forward to a return trip.
The local food options were surprisingly good, Cygnets and the Mexican restaurant were our favorites. The house is very private with amazing views over the bay. The “swinging couch” on the porch was certainly a highlight. Recommend for anyone looking for a waterfront getaway.
There is a lot to say that's all positive. I will summarize this for anyone who needs an honest advice. 1. Clean 2. peaceful 3, beautiful 4. Great for couples or Family 5. Privacy 6. I would stay again so that should say something.
