About this property

Enjoy all the Eastern shore of Virginia has to offer!
Welcome to Messongo Lodge! Listen to the owls & woodpeckers while having a drink by a fire in the screenhouse. Screenhouse is also equipped with gas grill, charcoal grill, & 2 regular size gas burners. Screenhouse= NO BUGS! Watch the deer, turkey and other wildlife in the 20 acre field from the screen house or hot tub of the screened in lodge porch.....(don't forget your binoculars) or enjoy the game on tv from the hot tub if you prefer. Screen-porch = NO BUGS! And your very well behaved 4-legged (and 2 legged) children will love running and playing ball in the spacious yard.
In the spring/summer, enjoy the purple martins, hummingbirds, eagles, hawks, butterflies, dragonflies, bats and other winged friends! And if you're really lucky and happen to be staying during a Wallops Island launch...you can view it from the backyard. There are also several boat launches nearby to get you on the bay for fishing, crabbing and clamming, and the Pocomoc sound for a true nature experience. Don't forget your kayak, too!
A short drive west will take you to Saxis where you can launch your boat or look for sea glass. 25 minutes east is Chincoteague. See the ponies, check out the birding trails, water park, or book a nature boat ride. Enjoy great restaurants and shop the unique boutiques. 30 minutes south is the quaint town of Onancock where you can enjoy boating/kayaking, shopping, & dining.
Located on a very quiet country road, 2 miles away from Sun-Outdoors Campground, the Messongo Lodge sleeps 4 (2 bedrooms with 2 twin beds in each). There is one bathroom with large shower. Washer and dryer in garage. Other amenities include plenty of parking for vehicles and boats, full kitchen, large dining area for food and games, open one-level floor plan, satellite tv and internet.

**NEW FOR 2024*** Inquire about the "cottage"...a private sleeping space 25 feet away from the Lodge. An additional nightly fee is charged for this space. This renovated office space resembling a corn-crib has a king bed, climate control & mini fridge. There is no bathroom, tv or internet. Couples traveling with other couples enjoy the separation.

( Owner's vacation home is also on the property, but out of respect for your privacy, and to give you the ultimate experience, they will not be present during your stay.)

**Due to the remoteness of the property, wifi may be very spotty & slow**
****No hunting is permitted anywhere on this property****

Long weekend retreat

We had an amazing time at this very private cottage. First time we ever brought our dog on a vacation but, will not be the last as it made the trip that much better. Hot tub was incredible as is the very large screened in patio. The open floor plan and decor was absolutely beautiful. Hope to come back soon Lynda and Jason

Lovely place away from it all.

Really enjoyed this property at the end of our road trip, it was very spacious. Lovely outdoor cooking and eating area outside. Hot tub was fantastic. Everything needed was there, a lovely welcome basket. Owner was very quick with responses to questions. It felt calm and private. Short drives to shops, Chincoteague and NASA Wallops Island. I would recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca White

We have been enjoying our get-away location for many years and it's time to share the serenity and beauty with others.

Why they chose this property

Our retreat is close enough to travel to several nearby towns, amenities & boat launches so you can experience all those things yet come back to privacy, peace and quiet surrounded by very few neighbors and lots of nature!

What makes this property unique

You are not confined to a hotel room or even a small rental. There is plenty of space to spread out not only in the lodge, but there is a screened porch with a hot tub as well as a huge screened house with a fireplace, grill for the burgers and a huge table to eat and play games on. We also have a huge yard for the kids and dogs to run and play.
