This was a great glamping spot for 2 couples and some very fresh rescue puppies getting to touch grass and see water for the first time. The house is bigger than the pictures really show, and the bay facing porch is a perfect place to read a book. Some of the amenities are slightly dated but the house has everything you need. Location and property is great. Looking forward to coming back

We loved our stay at mom and Pops so much that we hope to come back next year! The view was incredible and the small Sandy beach is just the right size for what we needed. I am not on the river, we spent most of our time in the screened in porch, looking at the spectacular views. Can’t wait to come back!

Relaxing property & comfy house

This is the perfect place for families and pets to relax and explore--by the water, taking walks on the country road, or hanging out on the screened porches! Nancy and her family are kind and helpful, and the house is very tidy and clean with lots of thoughtful details that make for a comfortable stay. We had a great time and plan to return!

Spectacular views

The cottage is charming, clean and well stocked. There is a small sandy beach, which is nice. Great area for boating. The host was easy to work with and responsive. And the views are stunning. Had a great trip.

Perfect 3-week stay -- great for kids!

We stayed at Mom and Pop’s cottage for 3 weeks this past August and it was wonderful! Our hosts were very hospitable and we had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The house and surrounding area is great for kids (our 3 year old LOVED the private beach). We highly recommend choosing the cottage if you’re looking for a remote escape with a beautiful view - and you must try the crabs!

Pleasant Cottage by the river

This cottage was clean with many amenities provided. Quiet location right by the river, with views of wonderful sunrises and sunsets. There are several nice state parks close by to enjoy. There were family games available as well as kayaks at the property. Nancy was always very responsive.

Nice

Very good experience, my son enjoyed the beach to the fullest, my wife and I enjoyed the panoramic view, the crabs, the blue crab and the fishing. A very good experience with tranquility and peace. If you are looking for a rural place with tranquility and a beautiful environment, this is the place for you.

Wonderful Cottage on the Water

Wonderful pet friendly cottage on the water. Very relaxing location and the screened in porches were a great plus to help stimulate our dogs during the heat of the day. The cottage was stocked with almost anything you could think of including common condiments. Nancy also accommodated a change of dates for us as well without an issue.

Simply put this is just a lovely place. Sitting on the screened in porch, watching birds and including eagles, fly over the water was simply stunning. It was very quiet. Ended up beaching my boat at the small beach. my wife was kind of recovering from some medical issues, and she slept spectacularly given the quietness of the area. The house is quaint and charming. I cannot say enough about this place.

Beautiful place to relax

If I could own a river house, I would want it to be just like this one, beautiful and peaceful views, quaint and charming inside, a two great screened in porches, where we spent most of our time. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat, and hope to again this year or next. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with my family. :)

Quaint and Relaxing

The house was just perfect for our stay and included all the amenities we needed. The owner’s attention to detail was fantastic. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, eating on the screened porch, and exploring the area. Lots of great roads for biking and little wineries for tasting. We also enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Relish Saturday night and a couple of low-key meals at Backdraft, including lunch and NFL football on Sunday. Thank you for providing the perfect little rental for visitors to the area.

The perfect Northern Neck experience

This is a charming historic and comfortable property on the water with gracious hosts. The cottage is beautifully furnished with antiques. The fresh flowers were a bonus. We had everything we needed to make one gourmet meal after another, including a brand new gas grill, and elegant cocktail glasses. We even heard a migrating loon one evening. What a wonderful weekend!

2 Week Stay 9/14 - 9/28/2024

We loved the house and the location being fairly remote yet amenities nearby to fill our needs. We are very familiar with the area but were new to this particular house. The 2 dogs loved the beach area and the big yard to run around. Kitchen was well equipped, and I even made grape jelly during our stay. We loved the two screened in porches as they were lovely when the weather was rainy. We will likely rent again in the future.

Wonderful view and dog-friendly yard

Secluded location in a serene setting with a great river view. Our dog loved the yard and making friends with Dougie. Dated kitchen, only one bath with cramped shower but sufficiently accommodating. Mattresses on double beds too soft for our comfort. Found "hard zones" for individual sleeping our second night.

Reliving Childhood Memories

Callao and this property are a return to the "beach" experience of our youth. Both the property and setting harken back to the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries before the birth of condos and highly populated beach areas with strip malls and amusement parks. The screened porch with its beautiful views of the Coan River is a wonderful place to have coffee, eat meals and watch both sunrises and sunsets. If you enjoy looking at the water and being in a rustic cottage, this is a great place!±

Nice little cottage

This property is a nice little no frills cottage. Owners were very quick to respond. For us, with kids that love to swim, we were most disappointed by the jellyfish. Both my kiddos were stung in the first few minutes in the water and therefore were scared to swim the remainder of the trip. We realize this is not the owners fault, but we wish we would have known before booking. Otherwise, cute small cottage with great screened in porches and a great view of the water.

Nice House

We loved the house. I was a bit mislead about 20 acres to walk around when there was a family living next door. Each day someone showed up to go into the garage. The gentleman from next door came with his small children and his two dogs on two occasions. I had my older dog with us and she wasn’t crazy about the younger energetic dogs who roamed the property. It would have been good to have known about the neighborly pups before we were surprized by then standing at the porch door barking at my dog

Absolutely wonderful cottage

I don't think I could encompass what a wonderful stay we had in one short review. The description and overview of the property is straight forward and provides great detail, including the uniqueness of this rental. The cottage itself is nestled under towering, giant, pines, and dense green foliage. Creating a level of privacy and comfort, even though there is another house nearby, you still feel like you're in an enchanted little forest. The interior of the cottage is well maintained with attention paid to the lovely historic aspects of what I can only imagine is an original Northern Neck river front home. From the built-in to the vintage sconces, original flooring and pine cabinets. The cottage is also immaculate. We travel with our dogs A LOT, and we have never stayed at a pet friendly rental that was so clean and well maintained! You can tell immediately that this property is close to the heart of the owners as you're greeted by a photo of Mom and Pop, next to binder full of valuable information for your stay. The owners are very responsive and kind. The private beach is it's own little oasis and the water is shallow and perfect for kids or dogs. The views from the screened in porch are breathtaking. We will be back!!

Quiet and relaxing

There were three of us, two adults and a four year old. The four year old thoroughly enjoyed the sandy beach area. The water was warm and very shallow even with the tide in. We spent most of our time playing in the water We enjoyed our meals sitting in the screened in porch looking out towards the water. Bring bug spray. We are sensitive to bugs bites. We applied spray each evening, even when on the screened in porch. We did a nice kayak outing using the rental place in Kinsale. There is a second property but it felt far enough away that there was privacy. Owners were very responsive to our questions.

Waterfront home

What a wonderful secluded home! If you are looking for a quiet property that is waterfront (bonus) this is for you! Lovely 2 screened in porches - and pretty spacious bedrooms. We loved this property and hopefully we will be able to visit again soon, and they allow dogs (another bonus)! Owner was very helpful, house was clean, well stocked kitchen.
