Loved how this home made our family feel. It was relaxing from the start and only got better. It’s hard not to unwind looking at that view. The pool and the facilities were so clean and inviting. Would definitely stay again.

We are a Family of 4 that stayed and absolutely loved Rosehill Cottage! Set back in a serene setting with the most beautiful view of the Rappahannock River! The Cottage was adorable with plenty of space to spread out, was clean, & had all of the cooking ware you need. The pool was a blast! We really enjoyed our time at the pool! I would definitely give Rosehill Cottage a consideration when you want to get away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life!

Everything in the house--furniture, appliances, dishes, art, coffee...were of very high quality. The surrounding area is quite interesting. No traffic. Extremely quiet setting--the only engines we heard were in the morning when commercial fishermen came by to check their crab traps. Because the pool was not prominent in the photos I thought it might be small, but that was not the case.

The home is absolutely lovely. It seems to be completely renovated yet maintained its charm. Everything is provided for you. The view is spectacular! The pool is a great added bonus. Lots of restaurants to choose from right down the road in Urbanna. The home is immaculate and the host is very responsive. I highly recommend a visit to the Rosehill Cottage.

For those who like a serene setting with a beautiful view of the lower Rappahannock River, this is hard to beat. Full view of sunrises and sunsets. If you are a tree lover, you will find a few impressively preserved ones near the house. Very private neighborhood with lots of elbow room. Pool is about 400 feet behind house with vegetative privacy barrier. The house has been added onto since original construction resulting in some functional obsolescence (third second-level bedroom has exterior entrance) but baths and kitchen have been upgraded with top quality fixtures and appliances. Fenced yard was convenient for those with a dog.

Gorgeous view when you walk in. The wall of windows to view the lake was amazing. Visit d quiet a few towns while there. Even learned how oysters are farmed. Only downfall is waiting on refund of deposit which really has nothing to do with the owners of the home. Vrbo is insane holding a large deposit for so long after check out. Definitely would rent this home again if another way to rent. The owners and home were fabulous. Sunsets were amazing!!

Don't Delay - A Must Place to Stay

What a delightful retreat!!! From the moment we walked in and saw the water from the "wall of windows", we knew we had found a great place to spend a few days. Rosehill Cottage is beautifully decorated and offers all the amenities for a wonderful stay. Heather was so helpful and offered suggestions for shopping and eating. Communicating with the owners was exceptional! Don't delay - a must place to stay!

Great getaway

Loved the house and loved the area. The house reminded us of Williamsburg and the views were spectacular. We enjoyed the little extras Heather provided. We were able to venture out to sweet small towns and find interesting places to shop and .All in all we’d say it was a wonderful stay and we hope to return.

Spectacular view

Location is everything and this place checked all the boxes. You walk in the door to the most spectacular view of the River. It’s clean, quiet and comfortable. The quaint surrounding towns had wonderful restaurants and we followed the owner’s recommendations and had a few amazing meals. The kitchen was well stocked which made hosting Thanksgiving dinner easy. The owner were very friendly and responsive. Highly recommended this beautiful cottage.

Family Time

Our stay at Rosehill Cottage was nothing short of perfect. Everything, and I mean everything was incredible from the view to the furnishings to the kitchen which was a cook's dream come true. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the house was spotless. Heather was so helpful and prompt in her replies to the few questions we had. The family is already requesting to return in 2024.

Gorgeous home!

Our family of four adored our stay at Rosehill Cottage! It was even better than the pictures. The large living/dining room has a huge wall of windows overlooking the river. The kitchen is bright and beautiful, obviously getting some recent updates. On each side of the main room, you’ll find a cozy bedroom and attached bathroom, each with their own river views. You do have to leave the house to get up to the adorable upstairs space, which is bright and cheerful with skylights and distinctive floral wallpaper. The pool water was a bit too cool for us to enjoy it in late May (we tried!), but I could imagine it being a fantastic place to spend some time later in the summer. Of course, the real draw of this home is the expansive river view. The home is obviously well-loved to boot. Heather was very responsive and made us feel welcomed. We hope to return for another visit! Thank you!

Perfect in every way!

It is so hard to find a wheelchair accessible vacation home! This home was perfect for my handicapped 87-year-old mother. The fenced yard was perfect for our small dog. And the Solo Stove (fire pit) made sitting outside at night perfect! The view was stunning. Watching the sun rise over the river through those large windows made every morning perfect! The cottage is adorable, nicely furnished and decorated. Everything feels crisp, fresh, and new. The linens and towels were luxurious!! The owners added so many nice details like binoculars for bird watching (A bald eagle visited us every morning!) Blankets for snuggling on the couch in front of the fire. Books and games. The kitchen is well stocked and the property owners made sure we had everything we needed! I just wish I could come back in the summer so we could enjoy their beautiful swimming pool!! This property is just PERFECT!!!

Expansive River Views from an Updated Home with Vintage Charm

We had a wonderful October weekend stay at Rosehill Cottage. Heather was a great host and the house was impeccably clean, well stocked, and -- importantly for a rural area -- respectable Wifi! The expansive views of the Rappahannock river were gorgeous and certainly the main draw, but the house itself was just as notable with updated elements, comfy beds, and a fantastic design aesthetic with just the right amount of curated antique pieces. My husband and son braved the cooler waters and went kayaking, and we all enjoyed using the solo stove outside to roast marshmallows at night and stargaze. We ventured to Deltaville to check out the Deltaville Maritime Museum and then also went to Urbanna for dinner. Rosehill Cottage would truly make a comfortable home base for an adult group exploring small towns in the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck. Quick note for others with small children - the upstairs bedroom can only be reached via an outside staircase, so just FYI if you have kids who might go looking for their parents in the middle of the night ;-)

River Life!

Our family typically goes to the beach for our vacations, but this year we wanted to try something different and also limit our commute, so we decided to take the short drive to the Locust Hill area from Richmond. I've been to this area several times to go on fishing trips with friends, but my family had never been here. I told them it was a great place to visit (and live) and we should take advantage of such a beautiful place right here in VA. Thanks to Heather and Adam, I didn't fail at planning the summer trip this time! My daughters, who are both in middle school, loved the pool, the views, paddle boarding and going to the local shops in Urbanna. My wife who just wanted to relax and read, did so in the dining area with the large windows and in the backyard by the river. She enjoyed the views as well as the fact that she got to bring her favorite companion on the trip (no not me) our dog Lilac. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. I enjoyed cooking out on the grill, running up to J&W seafood for clams and the Rivah dip, and fishing off of the shore. I was able to catch 40+ fish in just in a few days! The trip was one of the best we've had and Heather and Adam were by far the best host. I highly recommend this home to anyone who loves nature, water views, and relaxing in a beautiful home.

Such a treat!

We have rented many vacation homes and this charming cottage was the most pleasant surprise. Heather and Adam have created a beautifully designed and comfortable space to have a relaxing getaway. We spent 5 days with family at Rosehill. Two were in their 90's with some mobility issues. There was an entrance they could use that had no stairs---wonderful! And also a main floor walk-in shower---perfect! We all enjoyed sitting in the warm sun in the Adirondack chairs by the water, it was heaven! The house was spotless, very well appointed and felt like home. Every single member of our party was impressed with this rental (whew! as I am the one in charge of finding where we will stay each time we travel together)! Everyone said they would be happy to return here. It's a peaceful area. We walked the beautiful yard looking at the rose garden and investigating the pool (a bit chilly for that when we were there). We drove into Urbanna searching out fresh shrimp we needed for dinner that night. Used the grill---not the kayaks (next time!) Ate lunch in the sun by the lovely river. Discovered pour-over coffee-so fresh! Rosehill makes you feel like you have a bit of time to do whatever you wish! It's a special place they have made and I don't think anyone could regret visiting it.

The pool and view were excellent. Wasn’t expecting such an incline down to the water but was comfortable sitting up by house to take the view in. Very peaceful. House was lovely. Would definitely stay again.
