Clean and quiet with a great view
We had a wonderful stay for 4 nights. The property is clean and neighborhood was nice. The jets from Langley were fun to see and not too loud for us at all. The view of the river is fabulous from sunrise to sunset. The kitchen has wonderful natural light from the windows and skylights. The photos online are applicable as of May 2025 with the only change being the new rock pile at the property line to the water. As others have mentioned, be aware there is no oven in the kitchen (just a range) and no door to the bedroom with the bunk beds. We had no issue with either item. For clarification, the fire pit is the fireplace in the photos (not a fire pit out on the grounds that you would sit around). Bring grilling tools for the charcoal grill.Communication with the Sojourn property staff was fabulous from beginning to end. Always quick and courteous responses, taking any stress away for the stay. Amenities in the house were great: linens, towels, paper towels, hand soap, hair dryer, iron/board, plates/glasses/utensils, basic seasonings, etc. Always a great help to have these basics. There is a shopping center within a short drive with a super market, pizza etc. We were in town to visit family but had some downtime to check out Grandview and Buckroe beaches.

Perfect little getaway!!
A group of us (family) got together from 2 states to visit a cousin and her husband who had just been stationed at Langley. The location to them was PERFECT! It was a great way for the rest of us to enjoy our stay and maximize our time together. It’s a little bit of a drive to the historic sights but that wasn’t a big problem. We LOVED sitting in the backyard watching the sun come up in the mornings before getting the day started and watching the sun go down after a long day. The house itself was cute, it has its quirks but was very clean and extremely comfortable. We highly recommend!!!

Nice stay
Nice quiet place. Beautiful sunrise and sunset. Only downfall kitchen has no oven, but we made use of the charcoal grill provided. Bring your own BBQ tools. We like to cook kitchen lacking great pots, pans and utensils. We made do. Had a nice supply of spices and Harris Teeters is near by. The planes are not a big deal amazing to watch. Loved visiting Grandview. Amazing beach. Lots of wildlife. We would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at this quaint and stylish little getaway. It is equipped the basic essentials and very clean. It’s nice to have some serenity near the water but be only 15 minutes away from shopping and restaurants.

Cozy spot with a beautiful view
We picked this location given friends live nearby, but it exceeded expectations. Beautiful view, incredible sunrise, and the kids loved the fireplace.
Hadn't realized the kids bunk room doesn't have a door to close, but luckily noise wasn't a problem.

No lighting outside throughout the entire house. Outside needs major upgrades. Very dangerous trying to use your cell phone light to see with only one light by the front door in and wooded area. The outside has no driveway just rocks and gravel. This was not disclosed prior to booking. Also the beds/sofa was extremely hard. Stay away from this property.
