Waterfront Topping Vacation Home w/ Boat Dock!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. By far, one of the nicest features of this house is the deck. Beautiful views of Meachim Creek. Perfect for sipping coffee and enjoying some wine!! The layout of the house is easy and spacious. We would definitely come back. Communication with the owner was quick and easy.

We had a wonderful stay here for our 17th annual girls’ weekend! The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the views were stunning! We spent a day in downtown Kilmarnock: lunch at Donna’s on Main, pedicures at LE Nails, and shopping on Main Street. For ultimate relaxation, we enjoyed a Group Sound Bowl Healing Session at Motion Studios. Back in Topping, we had fantastic dinner and drinks at Merrior’s overlooking the water. (Thank you Bill for the perfect recommendation!) This was an ideal setting for our annual tradition and we’d happily stay here again for future gatherings!

The property is wonderful. Beautiful deck & pier overlooking a relaxing cove. We loved the outdoor aspects of this property which is why we rented it.

The cottage on the river was clean, well-stocked, and in a great location. We enjoyed fishing, crabbing, shopping in Kilmarnock, and using the boathouse for my father’s boat, who lives just a short drive away in Urbanna, Virginia. However, the host’s constant oversight made it hard to relax. Our pet had strict limitations, the AC was remotely controlled by the owner and left the house uncomfortably warm most days. There were also exterior cameras monitored by the host and in-person drive-by’s from his local friends that felt intrusive. Thankfully, the weather was mild—if it had been hotter, we would have left early due to the smoldering heat inside.Beautiful spot, but privacy and comfort were compromised by the owner’s constant monitoring.

Perfect way to end the school year! We were there to go to Busch Gardens one day, but we left the park early just so we could spend more time at the house. Quiet, secluded feeling. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, sitting on the dock and just enjoying the peaceful water.

We had a great visit and enjoyed all this homeowner has done to make the visit so nice. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the outdoor spaces were amazing! The deck is expensive and has many seating options, the dock was great for fishing and water access, and the sunroom was just a lovely spot for coffee, dinner, card games etc.

It was my first time in Virginia and I'll definitely be visiting again and if this property is available, I will choose it again. Beautiful house looking over the lake. Very nice getaway vacation. Amazing host good communication, all-around, great experience.

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy, clean cottage. The deck and dock allowed us to really enjoy our time on the water. The host called in advance to make sure we had everything we needed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property. The outside deck was so spacious & comfortable. Last day was sunny & gorgeous out so we completely spent the afternoon lounging & reading. Perfect relaxation. Thank you, Bill.

We had a great girls' long weekend. It was very quiet and relaxing. The house was well-appointed, and the abundant wildlife was a pleasant surprise.

This is was a quiet place, no loud boats or crazy kids being loud. Great place to get away if you do not want to be bothered.

Awesome house to hangout with family and friends we really enjoyed our stay Thanks Bill

Great place to unwind, relax, spend quality with the family. Bill’s “Rivah house” was clean and has all the essentials we needed for a great weekend. Enjoyed hanging out on the deck, fishing and crabbing on the dock, and kayaking! Bill is great host and communicated with us early, Hope to come back soon!
