1. Restored 1960s Motel, Luxe 3 Bedroom Suite, Woodland Retreat

Caret

"Our stay at Fern and Forest was fantastic! We stayed in the three-bedroom unit, which definitely offered a boutique charm. Everything you could possibly need is provided during your stay. Fern and Forest is conveniently right off of Route 17 but sits in a very quiet, relaxing spot. The host could not be more available or attentive to anything you need. This will definitely be the spot where we stay when we return to the area!"

"This property is welcoming, updated, very clean and very comfortable. Although we were there on a rainy weekend, the front porch swing was a favorite spot for relaxation. The kitchen is well-stocked with pans, dishes, spices, coffee and snacks. There are board games, movies as well as a cute toddler table and toys. There is a generous private parking area. The beds and linens are comfortable. Overall an excellent value!"

Hampton Inn Tappahannock

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome place to stay. Loved the Continental breakfast."

Rest & Recharge, A-frame Cabin on Winery Grounds

10/10 Excellent

"This was my first VRBO experience and I loved how easy it was. The cottage is rustic and simple but that’s exactly what I was looking for. I ended up not making it to the winery, but it was an easy drive into Colonial Beach and over to George Washington’s birthplace. And a cozy place to curl up and read during the afternoon thunderstorm!"

Aylett River Paradise: A whimsical gem designed to harmonize with nature.

10/10 Excellent

"The host is extremely kind and you can see all the thoughtful touches around the property. She has everything there for you to enjoy the river, porch and grounds. Very easy to communicate with. The dogs, kids and myself were all disappointed we couldn't stay longer and would love to come back when we have more time"

Dock Access: Waterfront Studio in Colonial Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"We liked this rental and it was clean and comfortable. We also enjoyed the private community beach located a 5-minute drive away from the property. I did want to mention a couple things I found surprising based on the listing. One is that the listing says it has ‘dock access.’ This is not accurate. The house sits on a small lake. There are stairs that go down to a DECK on the water. There is no dock, and swimming and boating are prohibited in the lake. I think calling it a dock implies that you have access to get into the water in some way and you do not. It is not the river and it is not a dock. Both the listing title and photo are misleading. Second is stating that the property is half a mile from Colonial Beach. This is true ‘as the crow flies’ but in reality it is about a 20 minute drive away because you must go all the way around to the other side. We still enjoyed the property overall."
