Perfect place to stay while visiting family in the area. The kitchen had a great variety of utensils, pots, pans, and small appliances. The beds were comfy with plenty of blankets and towels. Steep steps at the entrance and inside might be a challenge for individuals with limited mobility or small children, but a great place for adults and big kids otherwise.

Great location!

House is older and has its issues but for the price and location it's great! Host was very good about communicating with us. This place does have some very steep steps so if your not good on steps I would look elsewhere. AC worked great and we cought fish from the dock. The boat ramp is walking distance. View of the river was very nice.

Enjoyed our stay & view of river

The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the big window overlooking the river, and our dogs loved running around the yard. We visited Merchant's Mill Pond State Park and enjoyed Tar Hill BBQ.

Wonderful Weekend!

The home was great and met all our needs! Loved the screened in porch, my grandson loved the fire pit for his smores. The owners are wonderful to work with, overall we had a lovely stay. I would highly recommend, especially if you have a larger family or group staying in the home.

Chowan tournament

The house is in perfect location. There needs to be some upgrades made. We could not get the television to work. Too many remote controls and no directions . Just need to be able to turn lights on and off with a switch not a remote. We enjoyed our stay over all. Will love to stay there again

Great Fishing Cabin

Great location for someone fishing the Chowan River. Convenient to boat ramp in the subdivision (1/4 mi) and to Hwy 13 ramp (15 min drive). Probably not suitable for small children due to steep stairs but basic accommodations for fishermen and hunters at a reasonable price.

Nice River Front Getaway

We are a group of kayakers and this house was conveniently located a very short drive from the boat ramp on the Chowan River. The check in process was easy. We had a few issues during our stay, however, the owner was very responsive and accommodating, and quickly rectified the situations. The beds were very comfortable, with an abundance of clean towels in the bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking items, though a few items were worn. We enjoyed walking down to the dock to watch the river flow by. Sunrises and sunsets were lovely.

River View

Beautiful river view from a big window in the main room. It has a rustic fishing lodge feel and a long pier for fishing. My grand kids loved the attic room. The stairs inside and out are step as noted in the listing. Beds were comfortable for us. The high up river view was the best. Neighborhood was quiet and well kept, we felt safe.

River stay review

It was great, plenty of supplies and just as advertised. The stairs are steep, but created no problem for us. The second bathroom is in the basement, which was a little inconvenient but it worked. The pier was great to tie up our kayaks, and take off from there. I would recommend!

Family

quite relaxing river home very underrated, the pictures don’t do it justice. We made it work. There’s very cold AC and plenty of room for more than what the listing says! We most definitely will be returning. This is just an old fishing shack, it’s a family cabin or a cabin for anyone, that just needs a quick get away very clean and filled with peace

Rustic Beauty

Very clean and a beautiful view. Our only issues were the sulfur smell in the water, that was overpowering, and the steep stairs. It’s hard to mark negatives because the place was very clean with tall comfortable beds. The view of the river was wonderful and it was a very quiet neighborhood!!

Rustic, No-Frills, Beautiful View

Booked property to invite local family over for Thanksgiving dinner. Lots of quirks to this rustic-but-semi updated cabin. Was very appreciative that the kitchen had plenty of accessories and dishes to make and serve dinner, though it seemed that everything had not been used for quite some time. Bedroom space was great and good temp control for each room. Comfortable seating in the main area was hard to come by. Host was responsive when we had a couple of issues during the stay. Overall it met our needs and we appreciated the hospitality!

About the host

Hosted by James Ernest Jones and Linda Jones

Host profile image
James Ernest Jones was born and raised in Hertford County, and his parents bought this cottage decades ago as a place to enjoy the river and get away from the duties of their farm for short periods of time. James Ernest is the sole owner of this property.

Why they chose this property

James Ernest had to make a decision to remodel this cottage, or tear it down because of damage done to the building over time. Guided hunting is popular in this area, and places to stay are at a premium, so the cottage was completely remodeled with hunters in mind. There are no frills in this cottage, but it is clean and comfortable and will be a welcome place for anyone to end a full day of hunting and fishing. It is located in a small subdivision called "Choanoke." The other residents live there full time, know James Ernest and his family and are good "crime watchers". This is a safe place to stay.

What makes this property unique

You should have most of the comforts of home in this cottage. The emphasis is on the hunting and fishing available to you, with our cottage giving you a good, safe, convenient place to stay while you hunt and fish. James and his wife Linda are close by, and along with our hunting guide Andy Eure, will be available to give you a good hunting and fishing experience.
