The location was perfect, it was quiet and so surreal. The house itself was adorable. We had plenty of towels and toiletries. There was wood for the outdoor fire pit, even some citronella candles available. We didn’t use these, the misquotes were out in full force and I get eaten alive, so we skipped the outdoor activities at night. Contact with the host was great, they always texted back with any questions we had. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Porter’s Barn! ##### Michele B.

Beautiful sunrises and incredible birdwatching right out of the amazing windows of the cottage. We even saw a Great Horned Owl come down right in front of us at dusk on our last evening there! So nice to have the kayaks right there on the property for use, as well. The cottage was extremely clean and very well appointed with everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. The property owner, Jenny, was so nice and was quick to answer any of our questions. We are both public school teachers and staying here was the prefect way to mentally prepare for the upcoming school year. Bring on the kiddos!! Thank you, Jenny! ##### Ben K.

The view of the creek and sunrise are wonderful. The fridge snacks were appreciated. The Porter's Barn has a stove, oven, fridge, and coffee makers but no microwave. Easy commute over to beach at Chincoteague. A small loveseat might better suit a couple. Would stay here again. ##### T M. Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith Y. Jul 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Serene My husband and I had a very good time at this beautiful spot. The accommodations were tasteful and clean, and we soaked in the peacefulness and quiet of the woodsy, creekside setting. We took advantage of the luxury of being picked up at the dock for a scenic tour by boat offered by a local captain,(Holden's Creek Water Tours). It was great being near Chincoteague and Assateague Islands, yet having this lovely retreat from all the hustle. We recommend! ##### Keith Y.

Sep 3, 2022 #### August 2022 Stay The Porter’s Barn is truly a magical place. Holden’s Creek just steps from the all windowed front make the views spectacular. So much wildlife to see being so close to unobstructed nature. The bay and ocean are just short drives away. Jenny is such a gracious host, and truly an asset to the area. Definitely a 5 star vacation experience. Can’t wait to return!! Thanks Jenny for making a one of a kind place so special 😊 ##### Tyler R. Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly W. Jul 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful natural setting We could literally watch osprey chicks getting fed from the breakfast table. Millions of birds, fireflies, fish - a pleasure to just sit at the firecircle or kayak on the creek and feel like a part of it. Near enough to enjoy Chincoteague (beaches, hiking, birding, restaurants) easily while being able to escape the tourists staying in town. Jenny was very kind and helpful when we needed anything. The minimalist design aesthetic is very soothing. Highly recommend for solo travelers or couples looking for peace and time with nature. ##### Holly W.

Jun 22, 2022 #### Fabulous Retreat on Holden's Creek Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Porter's Barn is a fabulous retreat! The accommodations are extremely well done, immaculately maintained and very comfortable. The setting is spectacular, with pristine views of Holden's Creek and beautiful wildlife. If you're seeking a remote location to relax and remove yourself from a hectic pace, this is it. The kitchen is very well outfitted with quality appliances, where one can prepare simple meals. There are Adirondack chairs around the fire pit, providing an ideal spot for unwinding and enjoying a beverage. (you may want to bring bug spray!) I would highly recommend this property for anyone seeking seclusion, but with easy access to route 13 and a 20 minute drive to Chincoteague. \*Note that there is a nearby cottage on property with a long term tenant, but that didn't negatively affect us in any way. ENJOY! ##### shelley m. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### teri m., frisco, TX Jun 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Woodland Oasis Our time at The Porter’s Barn was everything we dreamed of! The barn is so beautiful with concrete floors, spa-like bathroom, full kitchen with sleek appliances. It was so appreciated to have the kitchen stocked with several pantry staples, such as salt/pepper, foil, parchment paper, Keurig pods, and more. Full size stove top, oven, dishwasher, and all the dishes and pans you might need. The fire pit was pre-stocked with kindling & fire wood. Of course you need to come prepared to use bug spray, but that is to be expected with the beautiful wooded setting. I loved the outdoor ground lighting that illuminated the property at night. The wifi & cell signal is weak- which may be a good thing if looking to escape. Would not be an ideal remote work location. The owner, Jenny, was so kind, welcoming, & helpful with any questions we had. All of Assateague island can be reached within a 30-60min drive. There’s a Food Lion, pharmacy, sonic, & family dollar “in town” about 10-15 mins from the property. 10/10 recommend! ##### teri m.

Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Porter's Barn for a quiet getaway near the water, but also wanting to explore the eastern shore communities, and it was a magical experience all around. The host was warm and helpful, and the management team responsive and supportive. The house itself is just absolutely elegant. We will definitely be back! ##### Barbara W. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [LAKE LIVING AT ITS FINEST.
