This is our 5th stay at this gem in Weems! The spring awakening of flowers and nature at this home never disappoint! Clean, comfortable, and the host has always been an exceptional communicator! We can’t wait to return again and again!
We've been to the area many times for long golf weekends and this is the best house by far. Close to the Golden Eagle Golf Course and the home had everything we needed. Lynda the owner was very responsive and accommodating. Hoping our schedules allow us to return next fall!
This property was a great choice for our vacation. We enjoyed the beautiful home and the outdoor setting.
The screened in porch was my favorite. From the porch I was able to see the water and enjoy the wildlife on the property. Lots of humming birds, beautiful butterflies, squirrels, chipmunks, birds and even a small buck deer.
My husband and my cousin enjoyed the creek and the fishing it allowed. They caught some small fish and each caught some large puppy drum. They gave crabbing a try with some small success.
The area and small towns were very nice. Very clean and close enough to the property. Lots of art shops and other interesting stores.
We ate a several nice restaurants and enjoyed all. Special mention of Donnas' on Main and Small Town Burger. You must stop at Small Town Burger. Best burger we have had in a long time. Don't miss it.
Thoroughly enjoyed the week, would highly recommend for folks looking for relaxation and an outdoor experience.
Absolutely wonderful house with perfect location. Been coming to the northern neck 15+ years and this is best place we’ve ever stayed! Super clean with everything need for great stay at the River!
What a gorgeous, spotlessly clean, fully stocked, welcoming, huge, peaceful place to stay.
I have never had such a well-stocked kitchen with tools, kitchen basics, small appliances, and all.
The pics do not even begin to show how spacious the home is. Perfectly decorated. A+.
This is a charming home filled with everything you will need for a lovely visit to the Northern Neck. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, cooking needs, spices…anything you need. Lovely clean bathrooms stocked with all items needed. Very comfortable beds with lovely linens. This home is so very comfortable and welcoming. We had coffee on the deck by the water in the morning. Kayaks were waiting for a lovely trip up Taylor’s Creek. A beautiful screened porch was a lovely place for cocktails and to watch the sky change to beautiful colors as the sun set. The Northern Neck is a very special place and this home fits right in!! We will be back!!!!!
My wife and I stayed 5 wonderful days. The property had everything one could need on vacation. It was substantially better than any other property that we have stayed. There was only two occasions to contact Lynda both of which we received prompt responses.
It deserves a rating greater than 5 stars! It was better than listing.
This is the best VRBO experience that we’ve ever had- from the proactive communication from the owners to the beautiful home to the easy check out process.
The home itself is located at a wonderful site with a dock to use the available kayaks and paddle board. We walked in and marveled at how clean it is. We also enjoyed the decor and styling of the home.
When we had visitors, they all commented on how beautiful and relaxing the home was. One visitor commented that she would like to stay there at a future date.
Thank you to Lynda and Sandy for giving us a home away from home!
If I could give this home more stars I would.
The kids tried kayaking and enjoyed it.We loved the deck by the dock and screened in porch.
The house had a well equipped kitchen.
The grounds were also beautiful.
Our host was very responsive to our questions.
We were only a few miles from Kilmarnock and enjoyed exploring the area.
Would love to return.
We used the house for a mommy weekend recharge! The waterfront property is beautiful and serene. You feel like you are in your own little slice of heaven with amenities a short drive away. Will rebook for sure!!!
Another lovely stay on Taylor Creek! Incredibly quiet and peaceful. Lovely home equipped with all the comforts of home. Perfect for nature lovers and if you enjoy kayaking and paddle boarding as we do!
The photos of this property are lovely but do not do it justice, it’s even better in person! The water views from the home are wonderful and we loved that you could see the creek from all bedrooms as well as the kitchen and family room. The home is thoughtfully furnished, impeccably clean and fresh and comfortable. We loved the sunny screened porch and the sitting areas down by the dock, perfect for morning coffee, listening to the birds, or enjoying a gorgeous sunset. My husband and I had a great time kayaking (there were the cutest river otters on the water), and our teens enjoyed the compass entertainment complex with mini golf and other games just up the road. There are so many great restaurants and shops in proximity too. The owners were gracious and prompt about answering our questions. Will definitely need to come back again, everything was fantastic!
Great kitchen and living area layout and each bedroom has an en suite bathroom. The owners are thoughtful and helpful if you have questions. Bright, clean and well organized. It is a great location with good visibility of the creek.
We have family in the area and we always stay in this house (this is our third time). The place is so well laid out, comfortable, has everything we need, and in a great location for us. We’re so thankful we found this house! Thanks again.
This is not only a lovely property but also was well equipped with everything you need. Owners are exceptional. You can tell they have a love for hospitality. Very relaxing atmosphere and the neighborhood and nearby towns are more residential than they are tourist oriented.
Beautiful home - the descriptions and pictures are accurate. Accommodations were really comfortable and water access was great for kayaking and SUPing. The property is conveniently located near shopping and other interests.
