PEACE!

Just to be able to sit on the back deck and watch the wild was fantastic for us and my son and nephew fell in love with the private dock area. I loved looking out at the river so much. We have decided it is the spot for us and would love to visit it again soon.

Quiet setting in Lancaster, Va, with property backing up to a creek. Home was extensively furnished with cooking ware, utensils and all of the other items needed. Plenty of coffee and water were available. Very secluded and private. Internet and TV streaming meet all of my needs. Very comfortable and quiet. Country store for sandwiches and drinks only a couple of miles away. I even rode the Car Ferry to save time when traveling to Kilmarnock, Va, for dinner and drinks. FYI, Car Ferry stops running at 5 pm.

Quiet and serene

Lovely little place, well kept, quiet. I loved sitting on the dock and reading. Surrounding countryside was perfect for jogging/walking/biking. Sat outside and watched a fawn wandering around, a fox, birds. Perfect little getaway.

Horrible

First off, I would like to say that the description is not accurate online. When I got there, the doors were unlocked and the keys were sitting on the counter. The heat didn't work, there was no internet or cell service at all, and the windows had signs that said "do not open, windows broke." The house is very tiny and does not comfortably sleep two grown adults. Unfortunately I will not be staying again.

Quaint and Secluded

Property is very nice with a view of Paynes Creek. You can go out onto the dock to fish and crab. It is clean and comfortable. We sat on the back deck and watched birds. A herd of deer came through as well. Enjoyed our stay!!
