The house is located on a quiet creek off of the Great Wicomico River, just a few miles from the Chesapeake Bay.

This home is located on a private point of land with water on three sides. There are water views from all rooms in the home. The property includes 16 acres surrounded by rural farmland, water and woods. Wildlife include deer, ducks, ospreys, and bald eagles. Rivah Home is perfect for a quiet family retreat, romantic weekend, reunion or nature lovers adventure.

>
Many guests bring their own boat - plenty of room both at dock, and to store trailer.

The Rivah Home has also become a destination for kayaking and paddle boarding.

Three kayaks are provided. These are recreational kayaks. If you would like to bring a sea kayak, etc. there is plenty of space to park between outings.

Explore creeks with lots of wildlife including Barretts Creek, Horn Harbor Creek, and Ball Creek.

More experienced kayakers may want to paddle to Reedville or Dameron Marsh Natural Area Preserve. Both are about seven miles away from the Rivah Home.

Reedville is a unique town, with numerous restaurants and a Fishermen’s Museum. The town is featured in Sea Kayaking Virginia: A Paddler's Guide to Day Trips [in our kayaking library]

The 316-acre Dameron Marsh Natural Area Preserve is one in a series of protected lands that line the western and eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. This preserve contains one of the most significant wetlands on the Chesapeake Bay for marsh-bird communities

    This property is absolutely beautiful from the house to the surrounding area. Mary and Larry are terrific hosts and communicate well. We had the pleasure of staying over Christmas with family and fur babies. The house was beautifully decorated which made you feel right at home. The beds were comfortable, and I cannot say enough about the kitchen, it has anything you would ever need to prepare and serve a feast. I loved the scenery and the quiet property. We are excited and planning our trip this year. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Rivah House. Debbie O.

    We spent 5 days at the Rivah House with our adult children and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The house was clean and comfortable and had a beautiful view from every room. We spent quite a bit of time on the water kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing and crabbing.Mary and Larry are great communicators and their house was well-stocked with essentials - from cookware and coffee to kayaks and paddles.

    We had an absolutely wonderful time here! This place exceeded all expectations. The house is well stocked and super clean. The owners were very nice and helpful. We had a blast fishing and just hanging out enjoying the property. My family and I are already planning another vacation here. I cannot say enough to express how amazing this home is.

    There is a lot to do in the area, but just sitting on the porch was heaven.

    I have never stayed at a rental that was as well supplied with just about everything you might need during a stay. The house was spotless. The kitchen has new appliances and any pot or pan you might need. There are plenty of utensils for grilling outside as well. The views over the water were enjoyable and restful whether they were from the lower porch or upper deck. A very pleasant place to stay.

    My family of four (all adults) and our fur baby spent this past weekend in this home. First, the property is secluded and private. Very nice view of the river. Very clean. I love that there’s no carpet and rugs! The beds are comfortable and the hosts thought of everything you need. Firewood, crackers, chocolate, marshmallows for smores, bottled water, sunscreen, bug spray, lanterns for outside. The little things matter, like well labeled switches, good wifi, place to work, well stocked kitchen. Larry and Mary were very responsive and provided recommendations of places to eat, shop, and things to do. Overall, we highly rate this place!

    One of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed at! Larry and Mary are such hospitable hosts. The house was exquisite... layout was exactly as pictured, absolutely spotless, and stocked with more helpful items for guests to use than I've ever seen elsewhere. The location was so peaceful and exactly what our group was looking for. Everyone had plenty of space within the house to either spread out or come together. Larry and Mary thought of absolutely everything, and were so kind to provide a helpful list of their recommendations in the area, many of which we visited and enjoyed. Highly recommend!!!

    The house and property were wonderful. These hosts truly get it. The house was well stocked with everything we needed for an excellent weekend. They truly anticipated our needs and the kitchen was a breath of fresh air to other places I’ve stayed. 10/10 will be back. It was hard to find a dog friendly home and this place was immaculate. The crab trap was a fun surprise and between it, the trout, and croaker caught off the dock and in the kayak we had all we needed.

    Consider this one big gush! Everything about our stay was glorious. The house, the property, the view, the owners' generosity. . . I can't thank Mary and Larry enough for their hospitality. Rent this home. You will not regret it.
