About this property

Deep water dock on the beautiful Corrotoman River

Sited high on a secluded 13 acre wooded lot w/ 350+ feet of waterfront, this lovely lodge is ideal for family vacations, reunions with friends or hosting a party. The 40'x18' great room has two dining areas: both the 10 ft farm table and the 10 foot antique library table seat 12-14 each. Enjoy the panoramic view of the river from comfortable seating, fish or crab off the dock, build sandcastles on the shore (beach accessable at low tide), watch the resident osprey & eagles, read, listen to music or just relax. The kitchen, w/ 3 ovens and lots of counter space, accommodates many cooks. River House is located in Weems, 2 mi from Irvington, home of quaint cafes, fine restaurants, a winery & The Tides Inn and is 4 mi from charming Kilmarnock and White Stone with their antique centers, art studio, restaurants, museums, etc. There is a public boat launch nearby. Enjoy exploring the Northern Neck, so rich in history & revel in the gracious people who call this home. Come soothe your spirit by the magic of the Corrotoman.


Quiet and Secluded: The River House property is divided by a small private gravel road into two parts. 6+ acres on the river side with the house with a walk-way to the dock. The circular drive provides parking for numerous cars and the level yard is landscaped with many azaleas, camellias, laurel, bays, pines, magnolias and old growth trees. There is an Audubon Bird Sanctuary easement adjacent to the property. The 6+/- acres on the south side of the road is wooded with old paths throughout. The area roads are blacktopped and flat providing for an easy walk or bike ride.

Where Eagles Soar : The eagles are back, but they are sometimes eclipsed by the osprey who come in March to hatch and raise their offspring in warm weather and then fly south in October. Bring your binoculars if you are a birder for there is much to turn your eyes skyward. Herds of deer roam this area and can often be seen on the lawn; however no hunting is allowed . Crabs are plentiful during season and can be caught in the crab trap provided or off the dock with string, bait and a crab net. Several large crab pots are available and fishing is pretty good too.

River Trip 2023

This property is EXACTLY what we were hoping it would be. It was equipped with everything you could possibly need for a great river trip (campfire stuff, boating, fishing, cookouts, etc). The yard was amazing. Our dogs had a great time chasing balls in the enormous sports field. Our kids played laser tag in the twilight. It is so close to both Kilmarnock and Irvington. The water off the dock was deep and amazing. No jellyfish! The sleeping arrangements were perfect. The kids went upstairs and we slept peacefully in the secluded master. And best of all, the wide open views of the water were just spectacular. Thanks so much for hosting us!

Even better in person!

The photos are great but it doesn't beat the view once you arrive! We never wanted to leave... we even booked an extra night! Sunset cocktails, floating in the river, kayaking, and nightly dog swims were the best! We enjoyed cooking family dinners in the well-stocked kitchen and reading on the screened-in porch. The home has everything... just bring your toothbrush. Loved our time and the memories made with our family. Thank you for having us!

Wonderful stay once again

This was the second time we have stayed here. We love that the property has a dock you can bring your boat to with deep water. The house is very spacious and has everything you could possibly need with both indoor and outdoor games. Love seeing all the wildlife including deer, wild turkeys, eagles, and lots of birds with the multiple bird feeders. We always use the kayaks and canoe as there are lots of cool places to paddle to, Close to Irvington, Kilmarnock, and White Stone. Discovered the Red Truck market in White Stone this trip with fabulous produce.

Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway

Three generations had a wonderful getaway and unplugged at this special spot. Children loved going on the dock and walking along the beach. The view is stunning and the proximity to Irvington was perfect. The home was cozy yet with plenty of space for 5 adults and 3 kids. Genevieve was a lovely hostess and we hope to return when it’s warmer!

Northern Neck Family Fun

We loved this place. One of the first things we noticed was that the house did not feel like a rental, but like someone's home. The house had plenty of room, was well stocked with anything we could possibly want and was in a beautiful setting. Genevieve was great to work with, was very kind, and communicated very well. We had a wonderful time and hope to be back.

The Rivah House

We brought our 24 foot boat to the property. The dock accommodated our boat with tie up cleats and plenty of depth. The vista from the house is incredible. You can even see the resident bald eagle wing by almost daily. Big rooms and well stocked with everything you need. Good nearby restaurants some accessible by boat.Tubing, fishing and boating were excellent. Lots of crabs! Owner is flexible and easy to communicate with. We'll be back.

Wonderful vacation home

The view from this home is breathtaking! Great views from inside the house and out with multiple sitting areas. Home has everything you need for a fun vacation from water toys to yard games and board games for rainy days. We even brought our sailboat and were able to use the dock (boat draws 6 Ft. 8 in.). The area is great for kayaking. Feels like a lake and plenty of creeks and beaches to explore. Area is nice for biking too. Took a 30 mile round trip ride to Windmill Point. Home is a short drive to Irvington and Kilmarnock. Would highly recommend.

A week on the river

If you are looking for a comfortable, homey place with lovely views in the middle of the woods with the beauty of nature all around, this is the place for you. It is quiet, peaceful and the perfect place to get away from the world for a short time. Lost count of the number of bald eagles we saw over the river along with hawks, cranes, egrets and herons. We saw lizards, wild turkeys, deers. caught crabs and fished off the dock. It stormed one evening and the show put on by Mother Nature with the lightning making the river sparkle. It was an amazing sight. My husband and I along with our son and granddaughter and our Daisy had a lovely week.

Great house on the Rivah!

Great location, beautiful views, large house with all the amenities ever needed to enjoy a river vacation. My family enjoyed 5 days of fishing, crabbing, kayaking and swimming right off the dock. House sleeps 10+ easily. Big kitchen with more supplies than I even have at home. Host was very easy to work with. Recommend.

Fun in the sun

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Genevieve is very available and the access and location is good. We rented a boat at Yankee Point Marina and enjoyed a nice day out on the water. The outdoor spaces on the property are beautiful including the fire pit, outdoor seating, exterior screened porch and dock with benches. The interior needs attention. The master suite needs new mattresses that should be king size. You can feel the springs on this one. The bathrooms also need updating. Replacing a toilet seat that is white on a blue toilet just shows the lack of investment. The master toilet doesn't flush right and the 1970s shower/shower head is too short for a man that is over 6 ft tall. The bathrooms need a complete overhaul. Although the fully stocked everything is great, it tends to be cluttered. This place costs a bundle and the investments in the property should reflect the amount that you charge.

Nice getaway

We picked this property because of the view, and the availability of kayaks and a canoe. The river access was easy, the dock was nice and the sandy point beach area was a fun destination. The house is completely stocked (no need to bring toilet paper, soap, or basic kitchen staples). The water is pretty soft and tasted funny to us, so we drank bottled water. The rooms are really spacious. The house is a bit older, so there is some normal wear and tear, but it was clean. We really enjoyed the firepit and screened-in porch. The owners were completely responsive.

New Year Getaway

My family and I had a delightful time at the Middleton’s “River Place.” The home was roomy and inviting with a spacious great room with spectacular views of the river. The large dining table was a great spot for family meals and late night game time. Despite the cooler weather, we also enjoyed the outdoor areas. (Which in warmer weather are probably even more pleasant.) The fire pit was great fun. We felt welcomed by the owners and weren’t overwhelmed by lots of house rules. The house could benefit from some general updating and maintenance, but we still thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

About the host

Hosted by Colin Middleton

Host profile image
We have enjoyed sharing our home with our wonderful guests since 2007. We hope that they feel as if they are visiting family. not just spending time at a sterile rental home. Our goal is to spread the warmth of this area and that all who visit here leave with a renewed spirit.

Why they chose this property

We sold a family home on Mobile Bay and bought in Virginia's Northern Neck because it is closer to our primary home, our children and grandchildren. This property was 'the one' for several reasons: deep water for keel hull sailboats, protected harbor, a lot where rising tides would not be a problem and an interior floor plan that suited extended family and friends. It was built in 1976 and lacked charm, but with the help of architects,designers and contractors I believe we have softened its edges and made it a comfortable home that is conducive to time shared with loved ones.

What makes this property unique

One plus about the design of this home is that there can be a rollicking game of Cranium in the great room while someone else naps or reads in another room. Something for everyone. Also the location provides for a quick trip to the grocery, restaurants, emergency room, etc. Only 4 miles to Kilmarnock.
