About this property

Cottage on the Potomac River

Quaint cottage nestled in a Potomac River Community just steps from the Potomac River and private beach area. Equipped with two bedrooms and fold out couch in living, front porch with another double bed. Enjoy hanging out in the yard after beach sunning and sports during the day or biking around the neighborhood. We have some of the best sunsets on the East Coast! The Potomac River is great for swimming, kayaking, boating and more. Many boats come to our area to hang out due to our sandy river bottom and local restaurant. There is Fairview Beach Marina if you would like to launch a boat for the stay. Walk to pick pizza and subs up or delivery. Plenty of sites to see, Eagles soaring along the Potomac along with Osprey, Geese and numerous wildlife. Lots of areas for hiking, biking and history. Don't forget to visit downtown Fredericksburg while you are in the area to walk and dine downtown just 25 minutes away.

Great House

We really enjoyed staying at this house. Everything was as advertised. The neighborhood is nice, the beach is convenient and Tim’s II was a great restaurant on water within walking distance.

Loved the place and location

This was a work weekend for my daughter and relaxation weekend for me. She was looking forward to searching for sharks teeth, this was not the location for that. We did a ton of thrifting and antiquing. Loved the cozy cottage.

Quaint Place

Property was in a nice location. Very friendly neighborhood. We were there in late October, early November. Weather was nice. Host was very friendly and accommodating. The only negative I would have is the floors were a bit unlevel and the bed in the master bedroom was not very comfortable. I would stay again. a bit uncomfortable
