Nice home in a lovely community. Very clean and well stocked. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed alot of beach time and great food in nearby Montross.
We had a fabulous few days at The Rivah House.... beautiful home, excellent location, amazing views! Perfect for our lodging needs for five adults! From the house, we were able to visit MountVernon ad Stratford Hall!
We absolutely love coming to the Rivah House—it’s a perfect home for a family trip! We love relaxing at the house and enjoying the perfect view of the Potomac from the second floor deck, and Shark Tooth Beach is a 5 minute walk down the street. Dale is a fantastic host who communicates well and makes check in/check out super easy. We always look forward to our trips here and can’t wait to come back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Dale was great at communicating about the property. The views are incredible and there is a nice beach within 5 minutes walk where my son and I enjoyed looking for shark teeth and other fossils. We would definitely return and recommend to others looking for a quiet escape by the water.
Our family had another fantastic stay at this wonderful house with an amazing view!
It’s our favorite place to stay—it has the best water view with amazing sunsets and all kinds of birds, and it’s right down the street (5 minute walk) from Shark Tooth Beach, which is a wonderful location where our son can search for fossils and enjoy the water.
The host/owner was very communicative and super helpful, and the house was clean with a perfect layout, and had everything we needed.
We can’t wait to come back for another stay as soon as we can!
Three good friends searched for a comfortable good sized home that overlooked a beautiful body of water ~ Rivah house granted all of our wishes.
The home was immaculate, with wall to wall windows, and great deck to simply take in the view of the Potomac River
If you are planning a visit to the Northern Neck of Virginia, do yourself a favor and book Rivah House for your stay. It's a great place, and just a short drive to a lot of places to see and things to do.
The views of the Potomac from the upper and lower levels were amazing. One evening we were even able to see the Milky Way when sitting out on the upper deck. The house was spotlessly clean, and well furnished/decorated with a beachy feel.
The host was great; very responsive and focused on making sure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay.
If you would like to spend your vacation in a lovely house right on the Potomac, where every room speaks of your host's thoughtfulness and taste, where you get up early to watch the sun rise and wouldn't dream of missing a sunset, and where even the drive to the grocery store is a feast for the eye, then you should book your vacation at Rivah House. We needed a place to relax after a difficult summer and could feel ourselves begin to unwind within minutes of our arrival. (That's what a river right outside the window can do.) We were so happy there that we didn't even mind when a storm blew in and lingered through one of our precious vacation days. The host is far and away the best we've ever encountered: helpful, informative, and genuinely invested in his guests' comfort and enjoyment. Our only regret about the Rivah House is that we had to leave.
We totally enjoyed our stay in Dales rivah house. The view was incredibly amazing! I felt like we in a boat on the water. Dales house was clean and he is detailed oriented. He thought of everything from a well stocked kitchen to games for the kids as well as clean bath towels, sheets, etc. My grandson enjoyed beating us in foosball..😉. We enjoyed exploring and hiking the parks. Dale was really great at responding to my questions. We truly had the best Thanksgiving with our family. There is no doubt we would stay there again!
Dale keeps the Rivah House well stocked and immaculate. Very comfortable. Every comfort of home. We loved every minute of our time during the beat week of our summer!
The 'Rivah House' was exactly as described in the listing. It was very clean and nicely decorated. It had all the conveniences we could want including 3 full bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept great! The river views are just gorgeous. This was a perfect get-away and Dale was very helpful and sent helpful information to us each day. Would highly recommend !
We really enjoyed our stay and Dale's hospitality. We stayed on a very cold and windy January weekend but still had a great time and enjoyed the relaxing view of the river. The kids had a great time exploring the house, playing hide and seek and foosball. The adults enjoyed short walks to the beach and lake. There is a playground nearby in Westmoreland State Park too.
The house was very clean and had all the basic items and supplies we needed to enjoy our stay.
Great, relaxing view of the Potomac River. The house is well maintained. There are plenty of amenities in the house. Great to have the option of bringing our own bedding. More listings should offer this option. The owner's instructions were detailed and clearly written, and kept in an organized binder on the coffee table.
