Tappahannock

"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!"

"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!"

Quality Inn Warsaw near Rappahannock River

10/10 Excellent

"The check in lady was so polite and wonderful. She’s the best"

Riverfront Home w/Dock · Fire Pit · Kids Play Area

10/10 Excellent

"Property is exactly as described. We had a great week fishing and crabbing on the dock and even on the 2 days it rained, the house was so comfortable for chilling and watching movies. This house was well stocked with everything you would need. We forgot our Old Bay for the crabs but there was some already for us! Kelly and Thomas responded quickly to a couple of questions we had and made check in and out simple. My only suggestion would be to put window treatments on the windows in the bedrooms. Privacy isn’t the issue it’s more about waking up early from the morning light. I like to sleep later on vacation! It would also be nice if all the bedrooms had a TV but not a big deal as many people don’t have one at home, just something to note. Aside from those minute things, it was a perfect relaxing vacation and if in the area again, I would certainly stay here."

10/10 Excellent

"We've been coming here for 3yrs now for our annual girlfriend getaway, and it has become one of our favorite traditions! This is the perfect place for a quiet girls' weekend... peaceful, beautiful, relaxing, and right on the Potomac River. The setting is absolutely wonderful, and the home gives us the perfect space to slow down, catch up, and laugh, and enjoy time together. And the owner is truly wonderful. She is incredibly easy to communicate with, thoughtful, and always so accommodating. We can't wait to stay here again and highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful getaway on the Potomac!"

Beachfront Hideaway - Pet Friendly, Hot Tub, EV

10/10 Excellent

"This place was beyond what we expected. Right on the water with a nice deck. Rained some but that was ok because the whole side towards the water is sliding glass doors so you still could enjoy the view. Loved our stay and it was so relaxing. Hot tub is private but faces the water which was nice. We would love to go back in the future."

Eastern Virginia's Premier Vacation Escape

8/10 Good

"The house was very easy to find and in a beautiful location on the water. Very spacious and lots of room inside and out. House is a little dated but overall clean. Kitchen had everything we needed except an icemaker. Main TV in living area is older and challenging to use with streaming apps. Communication with the host was delayed with responses. Overall a nice stay with our family!"

House Right on the Potomac River - Great Sunrises & Sunsets

10/10 Excellent

"My multigenerational family of 9 adults & 2 kids were thoroughly happy in this rental. The outside was surrounded by gorgeous water views and the inside had a large kitchen to cook all the crabs & fish we caught! There are multiple nooks to get comfy in to unwind solo as well as large areas to gather all together. We’ve rented many vacation homes and this was the first that customized the entry combination to the last 4 digits of my cellphone. Nice touch for those renters wondering who else has access. We recommend wholeheartedly!!!"

10/10 Excellent

"This is the fourth summer we have stayed at Shore Fun and we love this place! The house is clean, there is lots of space and the kitchen is well stocked. Some new appliances this year were a nice surprise. The property and pool are well maintained. This area is quiet and a great place for relaxation. Owner is fantastic and communication is great. I definitely recommend this property!"
