We love this little home!

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.

We had a great weekend at the Little House. It was perfect for our family of four. Our kids and dog loved the beach and water. Access was easy and the shallow water was fun to play in. The whole property was lovely with amazing sunset views. I highly recommend it!

Absolutely perfect weekend away! The cottage was so cozy and had everything we need. We relaxed in the hammock and made snores at night and took the kayaks out in the creek during the day! We were very comfortable the entire stay and had a much needed break! Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful cottage!

A Gem in Northern Neck

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.

Fantastic location

This is the second time we stay in this property and we always leave wanting to come back. The location is perfect, with great views of the creek and river. Water is just a few steps away. The small sandbanks make this place perfect for kids/teens who like exploring. The equipment provided (kayaks, boards) where all we needed to enjoy the river. Highly recommended to families and nature lovers.

Location, views and perfect short trip

The “Little House” was perfect for our first rental with our two large labs. My husband enjoyed the line crabbing all over the property while the pups and I mostly spent time on the porch with its shade in the afternoon and great place to watch the sunrise in the morning. Sunsets were spectacular just like the 1st picture with all the colors shown.

So relaxing!

What a relaxing spot! We spent hours of our trip on the screened porch reading, plying games, and napping. The house was well-appointed. We enjoyed the kayaks and SUP. WiFi was spotty at times. The only downfall is that there’s nothing nearby. This is just fine if you’re looking to relax, but our kids were antsy.

Felt like a trip back in time

We had a blast, my kids loved the doll house! And we're comfortable sleeping. We all enjoyed the small beach. The tide was higher though and there were a lot of jellyfish so we couldn't really play as much in the water as we had hoped, esp bc it was so hot during our stay. We didn't use the property to it's full capacity (only went canoeing once) It's a bit of a drive to restaurants so plan your food accordingly, but otherwise, no complaints. It felt a lot like the cabins we stayed in on the great lakes as kids!

Porch, Paddle, and FISH!

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.

Magical!

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.

Perfect!

We stayed at the Little House for 10 days and we loved it. The location, a few steps from the water and with a small beach, was great for our kids and our 4 months old lab. The water equipment provided was great and we explored the surroundings using the boat, kayaks and paddle boards. We spent most of the time outdoors. The creek is very safe, and the children, 9 and 11, enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding in the creek on their own. Swimming is fun, especially in the creek where the water is deep. The area was quiet (no many motor boats) which made the location even nicer and peaceful. The house had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The high ceilings in the living room together with the long porch and the view of the creek and river, made it feel very spacious. The view is spectacular. AC worked very well, especially during the last two days when the temperature sore and there was very little breeze. The owner was very responsive and helped us with a few things we needed. Lovely neighbors. Grocery store is about 18-20 min away but did not seem that far (no traffic!). We highly recommend this place and would certainly love to go back again. Thanks!

Website is very misleading!

First of all check in is NOT 10:am nor 1pm! It’s 3pm. We get there@11 beds were made towels hanging up were wet and the house was a mess and very dirty. Thank God that I brought my Lysol & Clorox wipes cause there was NO cleaning supplies, not even a vacuum to vacuum the rugs. Just a broom without a dust pan. Me & my 81 year old mom cleaned and whipped everything down for a hour or more. The cleaning lady shows up and refuses to do anything cause we were there. Apparently she never does much cleaning away by the looks of all the dust, dirt & cobwebs all over. We striped the beds and washed everything. Thought we would never get the first load of towels dry. Finally my husband cleaned out the outside vent that was clogged up and was finally able to dry the linens. It’s a shame the cleaning lady nor the owner doesn’t take a better interest in this property cause it’s a unique cottage with beautiful views.

Very disappointed!

The house number was difficult to locate in the dark, very hard to find. No lights were on, and the outside entrance light did not work. The temperature inside the house was 63 degrees when we arrived. The heat pump only got the temperature up to 68 degrees during the two days we were there! The house was not very clean. Cobwebs everywhere. Instructions for the WIFI were unclear! There was no TV in the unit. Dead bugs were found on the floors and in the kitchen. There was no major lighting over the dining room table and even with all the lights on the house was quite dark! To get some of the lights to work one had to use extension cords. With the strong wind our first night one could feel the cold air coming right through the walls of the house! It certainly was not what we were expecting and not what was described in the description of the property!!

We'll be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Robert's cottage. The cottage is cozy and comfortable, equipped with everything we needed. The view from the house is wonderful, and the little beach area was perfect for our children to splash in the water. We spent a lot of time reading in the hammock and sitting on the screen porch. My birding husband saw nearly 30 species of birds just around the house. We love visiting the area and frequent Hughlett Point Nature Preserve, which is about 25 minutes from Robert's cottage. We look forward to coming back to Robert's cottage in the future.
