About this property

Charming riverfront cabin perfect for a kicked back get-a-way!

You'll LOVE the view of the Potomac River from our eclectic riverfront cabin. Find peace and quiet in the woods overlooking a wide stretch of the river where you can catch a glimpse of local fishermen collecting blue crabs. Enjoy watching Bald Eagles soaring through the trees while sipping your morning coffee on the deck. This cabin offers a place to make time to relax and gaze at nature close up.

The interior layout is open. Baths are on the first floor. There is a master bedroom with a queen size bed; its bath has a small shower; the hall bath has a full shower/tub surround. Our favorite morning coffee spot is what we call the gazing room which is accessed by either the master bedroom or living room; it features floor to ceiling windows to take in the awesome river view. The upstairs has two small bedrooms - both with a queen bed. In all there are 3 queen beds in the cabin as well as a sleeper sofa in the living room. Internet service is fast--there are TV's located in the living/kitchen area, the master bedroom and one of the second floor bedrooms as well as a large screen TV in the basement rec room--use your own subscriptions for streaming. There is a clothes washer & dryer in the basement as well as an additional recreational area with plenty of seating. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessities including a dishwasher, programmable coffee maker, toaster oven and blender as well as pots, pans, and dishware. There is an electric grill to be used outside on the patio.

We're only a few minutes away from Westmoreland State Park where kayak rental, beaches, walking trails, fossil hunting and Potomac river exploration is available. The Northern Neck has ample waterfront areas; The Potomac and Rappahannock rivers are always nearby wherever you are. The cabin location is convenient to nearby Colonial Beach and is very close to Stratford Hall Plantation and several other historic sites.

Our favorite things to do:
Visit local wineries -- Ingleside, General's Ridge, Back Porch and Monroe Bay.
Sample local craft beers at Montross Brewery or in Colonial Beach at Colonial Beach Brewery and Ice House.
Eating out at our favorite restaurants: Angelo's, Coles Point Tavern, Tim's at Coles Point, Northern Neck Burger, & Relish.
We LOVE Dockside in Colonial Beach for it's ambiance on the water, food and weekend nightly music.

We LOVE the peace, quiet and views of our cabin on the river. It sits high on a wooded bluff; the river is not accessible from our location. Please do not venture down to the river edge of the property; the ground is sandy and will give way. Our cabin is not available for groups of more than six. Sorry, amenities located within our neighborhood are for owner use only.

Great value

This house was a great "bang-for-the-buck". It wasn't the fanciest listing we considered, but for the price we were very pleased. Location is very central on the Northern Neck and we were able to cram a lot of fun in 4 short days.

Northern Neck Newbies

I traveled with my two teenage children to attend a wedding on the eastern shore of Maryland. We chose to stay in Montross to be near Westmoreland State Park. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quirky little cabin. The view of the river was incredible. We were comfy and cozy, and would not hesitate for a minute to return!

Cozy retro river cabin!

This cabin is perfect for a riverside getaway! We felt like we were in a treehouse. Everything was very comfortable and clean. We were five adults and had plenty of space. We took advantage of the nearby neighborhood beaches, for which passes are provided! Sandy was very helpful and communicative. Can't recommend this place highly enough!

Peaceful, Rustic Chic and Charming

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay overlooking the Potomac. The view from the sitting room off the master bedroom felt like we were sitting in a tree house. Saw eagles, hawks and one humming bird. Loved exploring the town and checking out places of interest. Already looking forward to returning to relax and recharge. I am so happy that the owners offer this home for rent and I hope others may take the opportunity to enjoy the property as much as we did.

Great nature escape.....just step outside please. With Westmoreland State Park about 7.5 miles or so away spending the day hiking and swimming are always an option. Day adventure spots are scattered up the northern neck. Sometimes hard to leave this Zen Den. Amenties galore..... Thank you for sharing this dream house!!!!!!!

This cabin is a true gem!

If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature, peace, and quiet, look no further. Though my husband and I booked it for a romantic weekend for just the two of us, we can definitely imagine coming back with the whole family. Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, fully stocked kitchen, game room(!) and a den, too–this cozy and comfortable oasis is nicely set up. The icing on the cake is the breathtaking deck experience: birds singing and chirping away, big and beautiful trees surrounding you, and a gorgeous view of the Potomac River. Sandy is a thoroughly gracious and accommodating host, just a phone call away if you need her. We didn’t want to leave this special place!

Perfect!

I loved this cabin! The photos on the website don’t even do if justice. It so cozy and impeccably decorated. The owners call it “quirky,” but I see how much thought and love went into the decorating. I appreciated how they maintained some of the original fixtures, and combined them with more modern items. I enjoyed the old Richmond prints, and need to hear more about the paper mache lampshade in the master bedroom! The views overlooking the Potomac from the deck and the sunroom are breath-taking. It’s rare for me to feel comfortable and sleep well in a home that is not my own, but I instantly felt relaxed at this cabin. The location is excellent, close to all our favorites—Westmoreland State Park, Stratford Hall, Montross Brewery, the Art of Coffee, and several wineries, including Ingleside and Backporch. We also enjoyed the private community pool...found several shark’s teeth, and watched others there reel in some large catfish! It was very clean, and the perfect size for our family of 4; kids enjoyed having their own rooms and beds. We hope to return!

Relaxing Stay at the Eclectic Cabin!

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin and the river view. We even saw several bald eagles from the deck. It was the perfect getaway to celebrate my birthday. We also enjoyed the town of Montross and Westmoreland State Park. Thank you, Sandy, for being a great host. We look forward to visiting again in the near future.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Davis

Host profile image
We live in the mountains of VA and have longed for a place near the water for many years. We found lovely, peaceful and largely undeveloped Montross. The people are friendly and the seafood is delightful. Come for a visit and you may not want to leave.

Why they chose this property

If you want to see the river our cabin has great views from almost every room.

What makes this property unique

Watching the bald eagles soaring in the trees and over the water and feeling like your in the tree tops.
