Fabulous weekend
We had a fabulous weekend at Miss Kitty’s Place. Plenty of room inside and out for everyone to enjoy. We enjoyed fishing, boating and playing down by the river. My Grandkids so enjoyed the boat/paddle boat. Merilee gave us so many wonderful places to visit in the area.

Virginia horse country
Omg. If beautiful mornings on a mountain river is your dream this is your place. Upgraded to starlink internet. We brought a travel router/repeater to get service to the sitting room tv. So kids could use xbox during rain delays. Wonderful sun room. Lower river edge balcony and play area. Great creek fishing for little ones. Aluminum john boat for the private lake access. Great fishing there. Beware of shore fishing and snapping turtles. Swimming pond with waterfalls down to creek area. Rope swing. For outdoor centric families. Inside had everything you need. Multiple families could fit even though we were only 4. Main living room has plenty of room for airbeds. Lower sitting room has pullout bed couch. Older house but loved and maintained. Cabin in the woods feel. Great wineries and new irish pub nearby. We chose Shenandoah National park as our daily hikes. 20-30 minutes depending on where you hike. Marys Rock has wonderful views. The hosts are the nicest people you could ever meet. Prompt. Organized. Communication was easy. Fire pits at backyard patio and lower river play area. Just a dream summer home. Will be coming back. Area is safe and quiet.

Great place and great hosts
Amazing location and, for those looking for a retreat from any hustle and bustle, perfect! Need to be aware that communications will be a challenge (cell signal and internet are pretty much non-existent!) but that's a bnus in my eyes )and also I think the internet is going to be upgraded soon, so if that's a concern, it shouldn't be from now on!).

A great place to relax and breathe.
We so enjoyed our stay here at Miss Kitty’s Place. There was plenty of space for kids to run and play outside and for everyone to relax at the end of the day. The hosts were so accommodating and very friendly and kept in contact with us to make sure we didn’t need anything in addition to what was already provided. We would love to stay here again if we are ever back up in the area.

Mini family reunion
Great property for our needs. We had a Family wedding in Bealeton. We were close enough to enjoy Warrenton and surrounding areas. The house is spacious yet has great gathering areas as well. Lots of outdoor space. We just didn't get to take advantage of it due to the rain. We did get one day to put our kayaks in the river for a bit and swing on the tree swing, super fun. The kitchen had all the tools we needed. Plenty of parking, since we had Family coming from several directions.

Mountain Getaway
Our stay was more than expected. The home is very well stocked and clean. I would have to say hands down the view and flowers are amazing! Family gathering together under the stars for s’mores at the fire pit, fishing at the pond, and cornhole made the stay even better! We had a great trip and can’t wait to return! Thank you for having us!

Outdoor space 10/10
The outdoor space by the river and use of the lakes were the best parts of our trip. The house itself was good. The kitchen could have been stocked better as there wasn't even salt and pepper or any other basics. We enjoyed our trip and being with friends who live nearby was the biggest reason we chose this house.

Less is More...
I loved the owner's responsiveness. This needs to be advertised as a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house out in the country. The cut-de-sac the house is between can be suspect if one isn't used to that type of environment. The house was well-kept. The owner cares for the property herself and that is awesome! The offerings inside the house are above and beyond what one could need. Outside, the owners need to re-assess their offerings. Only 20% of the items out there are useable. Everything else is old, dry-rotted, dirty - rendering it useless. It could be a beautiful space. Instead, it comes off really junky when one is up close. Nice folks, though!

About the host

Hosted by Merilee Poe

Host profile image
This was our summer home when I was growing up, in the late 80's my Mother remolded, and added on to the exiting cabin.
She then sold her home in Arlington, Va and stayed there the rest of her days. I love sharing this place with people for I have lots of fond memories.

Why they chose this property

This house was handed down to me. My siblings and I learned to swim in Lake Wilson and fish in Lake Mosby. We had lots of good times down on the river, We have had a wedding, and numerous pig roasts and of course tons of picnics.

Great place to make family and friends memories!
