Wonderful getaway
Everything was as stated in the listing. The house was clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable, loved the decor, wi-fi and A/C worked well. Might sound strange but all the lighting in the house was nice and bright (for my eyes that need reading glasses and lots of light to see or read). The location on the river was so peaceful and relaxing for our family of 4 for a last summer getaway before sending kids back to college. We caught plenty of crabs and even a catfish in the crab traps. Kayaking on the river was so peaceful, saw beautiful sunrise and sunsets on the dock. We cooked mostly while there and the kitchen had everything we needed. Food Lion was not far, convenient to get anything we forgot/needed. Ventured into town on one of the rainy days and tried Olivia's in the Village (owner and employees were so welcoming there), great food for the price. Also grabbed dessert from Sweet Tooth Cafe and Bakery to satisfy the sweet craving. Owners were very responsive to any questions we had throughout our stay. Highly recommend this home for a wonderful, relaxing stay on the river. Thank you!

Perfect Getaway for some R & R
This home won't disappoint. Lots of room to spread out, love the decorations and furnishings. Best stocked kitchen we have seen in all the places we have rented. We did not leave the place. We hung out on the dock most of the day. The sunrises and sunsets are something you will want to see! We hated to leave. We will go back.

Lovely home & great owner
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this waterfront home. The home was in great condition and offered everything we needed for our stay. The space is comfortable and very welcoming. I loved the combination of temperature control between the AC and the curling fans in multiple rooms. The fire pit is a nice touch with plenty of wood provided. The backyard leads down to a dock with nice seating with a beautiful view for sunrises or sunsets. Betsy, the owner, was very responsive and friendly in communications and a notebook is there on arrival providing everything you need from home details to local recommendations. We would definitely recommend!

Cosy cottage
We had a most enjoyable week in this spotlessly clean comfy cottage on the banks of the Piankatank estuary. Tastefully decorated with all the amenities one would need and with a very attentive owner.

About the host

Hosted by Betsy Cox

Host profile image
I'm a filmmaker who specializes in social issues, my husband Scott is a US history teacher and we live in Charlottesville, Virginia. We have two sons, one of whom works at Pippin Hill Winery and the other who attends VCU. Our exuberant and amazingly friendly goldendoodle Harpo and our black ninja cat Moji round out the family. We love the outdoors and live in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains - but our hearts are happiest at the river.

We are experienced hosts, having offered an apartment in our primary home through AirBnb for five years. We pride ourselves on 5 star reviews, and you can rest assured that we are dedicated to making your stay amazing. We will always be just a phone call or text away!

Why they chose this property

I started coming to the Piankatank River when I was three years old, and it's home in so many ways. Scott and I were married here and raised our two boys fishing, crabbing and swimming in its waters. With the sale of my parents' river home in 2020, Scott and I bought this charming house and we are thrilled to continue making memories on this most beautiful of rivers. We'd love to share all the joys of river life with you.

What makes this property unique

The property is river front. It is an intimate experience with the water on the river side of the house. The dock is gorgeous with stairs leading down to the river for wading or launching of our two kayaks and paddle board, and beautiful views of both the sunrise AND sunset. We have a terrific fire pit, great waterside deck, gas grill, wood burning fireplace, lawn games, crab pots, life jackets, and even a large floating swim mat - you really just need to bring yourselves!
