Lovely Chesapeake Getaway

The Cabin on the Cove is a perfect getaway for a family looking for a peaceful and serene location to relax and enjoy nature. It’s quiet with lots of bird activity. We saw osprey, bald eagles, and many others. The quiet cove on the Little Wicocomo River is excellent for kayaking or paddle boarding. If crabbing is your thing, the host provides some crab pots. The house is spacious and well equipped. The host provides great information about the local community and things to do. Many games for family fun are available and the house has a screened in porch that offers nice shade and an open deck in back overlooking River. Overall, we had a great stay with Ryan. Thank you.

Calm and peaceful

The property was great. Very quiet. We played on the kayaks and paddleboards everyday. My kids also went swimming around the dock everyday. It gently slopes down, so there was enough shallow water for my 4 year old to swim, too. The weather was absolutely perfect the beginning of June. We caught a few crabs, which was fun and delicious. Overall a fun and relaxing stay!

Family getaway

This was our family vacation for the summer, the cabin had everything we needed. The kids had a blast on the paddle boards and kayaks, the owner even gave us bait for the crab traps (the kids thought this was really neat). Was not to far to drive to do lots fun things Virgina had to offer.

Dream Cabin in a peaceful location

Our family loved this property. The inside space is ample and gorgeous. It is well equipped inside and outside. Lots of areas to rest and plenty of equipment for water activities. The second floor was a little warm but the owners are working on it. Timely communication with the host and check in instructions and location were pretty straight forward. Highly recommended!

Relaxing getaway with friends

This place is a wonderful, quaint, cabin. The location is removed from the hustle and bustle elsewhere. Ryan was a wonderful host, very responsive to messages. Two things happened during and after our stay. One was when a plastic chair back broke when a friend sat in it normally, but it wasn’t a big deal. Ryan was very understanding and told us it was probably the winter that had been harsh on them. Second, he was willing to check when I accidentally left my water heater there. Whoopsie on my part, but a wonderful host. Thanks Ryan and family for making it such a great place to stay!

Great spot!

What a wonderful cabin on the water. If you want a place off the beaten path, this is it. While it was just my dog and I, this place could easily sleep 12. WiFi worked great. Nice fire pit with wood. Weber grill worked great! While I didn’t have the best of weather, the large leather couch came in handy for those afternoon naps. Ryan was quick to respond to questions. If you want a place to relax and unwind, this is it.

Overall nice. One bedroom is right off the living room, so not ideal if some people are staying up later. The two bedrooms upstairs share a bathroom. The house is well stocked with a beautiful view.

Thanksgiving Gathering

We loved the large kitchen where we gathered to cook with plenty of moving room. The great room was comfortable with a beautiful view of the back yard, dock and waterfront. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit where we roasted marshmallows and made s’mores. We enjoyed the peaceful getaway.

Summers end getaway.

Place was a good size for 6 adults and 2 toddlers. The kitchen was a great size for cooking and we had room for everyone at the kitchen table. We had a great time using the kayaks and paddle board, and we got to enjoy the fireplace. Our yellow lab really enjoyed the river access and did lots of swimming. It’s close to the Vir-Mar local beach and quick drive to reedsville, Kilmarnock, and Heathsville, all of which we got to enjoy. It was the perfect end of summer trip.

A wonderful, relaxing vacation away from the city & suburbs!

"Wanted to thank you for the wonderful time we had at your Cabin-on-the Cove. It's a beautiful and relaxing setting. The characterization of the home as a "cabin" doesn't do it justice!!! It's exceptionally attractive both inside and out and the grounds were perfect for walking our dogs and providing dramatic views for me and my adult children. You provided everything we needed. We cooked many meals on the grill and appreciated your providing the extra tank of propane (which, by the way, we did not use). We - meaning my sons - caught enough crabs for for two separate meals for our family of four. We were able to visit several of the surrounding Northern Neck communities and enjoyed our walks through their main streets. We also visited the nearby Vir-Mar beach on two early mornings and were impressed by the 180-degree vista of the Chesapeake Bay. Thanks again."

Best place to relax

My family best vacation, we just fell in love with the house, the location, the view it's super wow, and it's enough space for us.Waking up in the morning and watching the fish jumping from the lake/bay, feeling the freshnesss of the air every morning and we ate crabs from the lake/bay too. The place they provide crab cage,kayaks and a paddle board and thats good enough for us to enjoy our whole week vacation. Thank you Ryan (owner) for checking us the 1st day we got there that's so kind of you and we are 100% safe and very comfortable staying in your beautiful house. And thank you also for the boat ride and it was a beautiful/amazing sunset that we witnessed, and Ryan even let us fished in the ocean,FYI: catch and bring home as well. As I've said to my friends WE MADE YOUR HOUSE A HOME, and we had good and fun memories with my family. Again it's the best vacation ever and thank you again.

Relaxing Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The ants in the kitchen were a little annoying but they didn’t stop us from having a great time and making family memories We enjoyed boating on the river and in the bay, kayaking and sitting on the deck looking at the beautiful ocean after view. We didn’t have a lot of luck with fishing and crabs. Overall it was a very peaceful and relaxing week. The neighbor even brought us some delicious tomato’s!!

Had a great time at this cabin. Everything was well worn in and felt like going to camp. Has a key rig and regular coffee pot. Stove microwave hot water and water pressure all worked great. Unfortunately for us the weather wasn’t the greatest but we would definitely rent again. I would say that the water is soft so be careful in the shower, it’s a little slippery. Beautiful view . Communication was excellent. Wi-Fi excellent, cell service poor. Loved it!

A Great Disconnect from the Day to Day

We had an excellent time at the Cove. My kids, 4 & 6, and my parents, greatly enjoyed the amenities and the cabin. We caught crab, fished (my 4 year old caught his first), and kayaked most every day. Vir Mar beach is close and perfect to sit and relax. We visited local towns, ate great food, and just relaxed. Could not have asked for much more. We hope to visit again very soon!

Perfect Place!

I have rented vacation houses for the last 20 years around the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and Virginia. This property is the best to me by far. The house is bigger than it looks in pictures and spacious enough for eight people. The kitchen is my favorite place, and the large counter is convenient for preparing and cooking meals. The creek is quiet, where we were crabbing and kayaking every day. We could get dozens of crabs easily with lines with chicken necks. We spent six days here, and it still felt too short. We will definitely come back again soon.

Why they chose this property

You will enjoy the coziness of a log cabin coupled with the beautiful waterfront views, and the stunning sunsets. The first thing you will notice about the property and this area is the laid back feel. The property has a grill so you can stay home and grill overlooking the water, or enjoy some of the many restaurants in our area. We are conveniently locate 15 minutes from Reedville and 25 minutes from the quaint town of Kilmarnock. We have paddleboards, a kayak, crab pots, and a dock to fish off of. You can swim off of the dock; we recommend wearing water shoes or other type of shoes, as the bottom is muddy and there are some oyster shells that could cut your feet, or you can go to a community beach less than three miles away. Perfect for couples looking to get away and families looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Less than a two hour drive to three cities, amusement parks and other recreation. Once you come to our area you will fall in love with it.
