Bass and Battlefields

The location is outstanding, across the street from the river, and if your are a fly fisherman it’s nervana. We were able to fish early and late in the day, with great success.

Relaxing and quiet

We were in Fredericksburg for our granddaughter's wedding. There were lots of activities leading up and after the wedding. This cottage was the perfect place for us, the older ones to escape and enjoy some much-needed rest and relaxation. Everything was perfect. I would recommend this river cottage to anyone young or old.

One of the best places I've ever stayed in terms of a BnB. Incredible amenities, extremely quiet, comfortable and accommodating. LOVED the backyard area and just overall one of the BEST places to stay. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone passing through Fredericksburg or wanting a sanctuary to unwind the brain and soul.

We absolutely loved the cottage. The location was amazing and the cottage was just lovely. Patti does a great of job of supplying all the little extras you may need to make your stay perfect.

Cute cottage

The cottage was exactly what we needed for a night. We stopped on our way to our vacation destination. It was a cute little place with everything you need. The beds were comfortable. The lights out back were really nice. Unfortunately we were not there long enough to enjoy it. We will defiantly be back when we have time to enjoy the area.

Charming cottage

Our family stayed at this sweet little cottage while in the area for a few days. It was clean and had everything you'd need as far as kitchen utensils, etc. There was even a well stocked shelf of toys and games for the kids. It was conveniently located to restaurants, shopping and the kids enjoyed walking across the street to the river in the evenings. Although we didn't use it, the fire pit was a really nice option outside. Check in and check out was very easy and the property managers number was handy although we didnt need to use it. This was a great spot to stay!

Quick Trip

We came in town for my grandfather's funeral and in spite of the occasion the kids loved the trip. The place has plenty of room, tons of toys and games for them and super comfy beds. You can tell the owner really thought of everything. We love staying in houses so we can cook and save money on food and the kitchen was perfect. We had everything we needed to make a wonderful breakfast. The property was fantastic and the kids loved exploring the back yard and woods. After check out we went to park next door and the river was beautiful. Side note: coolest thing they had was the bluetooth speaker and light in the shower.

We were only in Fredericksburg for one evening, but we really loved the river cottage. We were even talking about coming back in the summer just for a couple nights. The cottage was small and very comfortable. The house was extremely well appointed and the owners thought of everything! I would highly recommend the River cottage to anyone looking to come to the Fredericksburg area for any amount of time. The location is very close to downtown Fredericksburg and easily accessible from 95. However, the location is very quiet and private. It is across the street from a beach/park on the Rappahannock river so there may be more people and traffic during the heat of the summer. But it is also an excellent location if you just want to go to the beach yourself .

Good place to rest your head

Clean small cottage by the river. It was easy to find and owner had great communication. Backyard is set up to hang out and play games though the yard definitely needed to be mowed. The cottage itself was clean and appeared comfy. Unfortunately the air freshener in the living room is very loud and goes off every 15 minutes. It is also a river cottage and does have some small insects crawling around. Kitchen, living room, and bedrooms were all great. Bathroom shower needs some upgrades. It was a one night stop on a long road trip for us and served its purpose. I don’t think it would have worked for our family to stay for multiple days.

The cottage is exactly as advertise and very clean. Host is responsive and has thoughtfully provided almost anything guests could need. We were with elderly parents in town for a family wedding and it was a perfect way for us to take care of them and give everyone space, security and privacy. My 86 year old dad enjoyed reading in the sun at the picnic table, and really wanted a firepit gathering but the wedding ran too late. He was able to walk to the river and to view a rugby game on the field across the street. My 84 year old mom was happy to sit on the couch with the huge TV blasting while we were out running last minute errands and fetching lunch for them from Billigan's barbecue. They didn't need to navigate the brick sidewalks and loud restaurants downtown but we younger people could and did. It was a beautiful day and the streets were filled with families in costume trick or treating at the downtown shops. My daughter and sister had a run on the park trail. After the wedding We were able to leave the exhausted folks in the cottage while we joined the bridal party at bars downtown for a few hours of post-wedding revelry. Many people thought the bride, still in her gown, was in costume! It was great fun. We all ended the weekend with walk to Amy's Cafe for Sunday brunch.
