About this property

Peaceful on the Creek in the Northern Neck

Renovated and updated manufacured (mobile) home with an added-on 4-season porch with picture windows overlooking the water (creek) and wildlife. Relax in quiet solitude and watch the Blue Heron and other birds, deer, turkeys and other wildlife. Located on 3+ waterfront acres on a secluded gravel private road. Watch the sunrise or the sunset from the pier.

(WARNING: If you require the NYC nightlife, please do not reserve. This is a remote location far away from the bustle of the City. You must drive approximately 1/2 hour to access shopping areas.

Satellite TV and now, as of August 2023 . . BROADBAND internet. However, if relaxing, you won't need it. A number of kayaks on site. Marina (Whelan's) - 2 miles away. Several public boat ramps nearby; closest is in Simonson (5 miles). Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge within 1 1/2 miles with hiking trails. Numerous wineries within 30 minute drive. Belle Island State Park within 15 minute drive (11 miles). Water 2-3 feet at pier. Small boat lift. Enjoy fishing or crabbing or put in the kayak.

Fully air-conditioned with vinyl plank flooring and wired speakers in living room and both bedrooms; attached to cassette deck with collection of tapes on-site.

Park your vehicle near entrance to home and step onto the large (16' x 40') deck with entry door and sliding glass door. Enter into mud room with pantry cabinet and stacked washer/dryer and coat rack. Access to bathroom with large tub/shower, sink and toilet. Access to Primary BR with view of water includes an antique bed (full) with bedside tables and lamps, chest of drawers, large closet and satellite TV . Guest BR is at other end of trailer with antique rope bed (full) with bedside tables and dresser with double window looking towards wooded area. Living Room has a large and small couch with 44" Roku TV. Eating bar with stools at kitchen counter. Kitchen has new refrigerator/freezer (no ice maker), full stove with hood. Fully stocked with essential appliances (Toaster Oven, Coffee maker, Coffee grinder, Blender and Bullet, George Foreman grill), most condiments, herbs and spices. Refrigerator will include water jug, as the well water in the area is not the best tasting. No dishwasher. Newly renovated glass enclosed porch overlooking back (front?) yard with expansive views of creek. Includes a sofa with pullout bed, glass-top table with 4 chairs, wrought iron couch, rocker, wicker chest and armoire with 33" Roku TV. This room is the place to be. Glass door leads to small deck with table and 4 chairs, steps to yard and pier and small charcoal grill.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that the majority of pet owners disregarded rules about pets being on the furniture (and eating it), we have excluded rental for travelers with pets for 2023.

NOTE: There is a neighboring lot that also has a mobile home that is under repair. Also, upgrades to the property are ongoing and there is lumber and other constuction items stored on property.

Wonderfully quiet spot. If you are looking to leave the noise behind, this is the place.

Multiple kayaks!
Nice location, a bit isolated (a positive for me), right on the water, dock. Multiple, different kayaks for your use, which was great. Home is nice inside, with everything you need. Not thrilled with very nearby mobile home - bit of an eyesore; if someone was there, it would affected my sense of privacy; did eventually get used to it.

Family work trip
Stayed in the area to work on a property we had acquired. Chuck was easy to work with and quick on the responses to questions. House was out at the edge (of the creek , roof the area we we were in etc) but was right where we needed to be. Comfortable, great views, and quiet. Thanks

Nice clean accommodations for remote site
The cottage/double wide is updated and very clean. AC works great. Both beds are full size so if you are sleeping with a partner consider that. The kayaking is wonderful. We went early am before the sun was above the trees to beat the heat. The wildlife and peace and quiet are great on the water at that time. Nights are full of crickets, frogs, cicadas and I don’t know what else, but is it is so peaceful and enjoyable. Only issue there is the mosquitos. They provide lots of bug repellant located on back porch, however. Speaking of, the back porch is very nice all times of the day. The TV/ Internet is sketchy and just as described by Chuck. I have Verizon and had one or two bars during the stay. Kitchen is well stocked with pans and utensils for cooking and there are spices and condiments and two types of coffee makers - pour over 8 cup and single serve pod ( Kourig.) bathroom well stocked with soap/shampoo/conditioner and tons of towels. We don’t have a pet but they supply pet bowls, brushes, accessories as well as lots of dog towels for cleaning up after them. Lots of board games/books/puzzles. You will have to drive 20-30 minutes for groceries. Overall, a nice place, not luxury, but quite comfortable, clean, and relatively private.

About the host

Hosted by Chuck and Donna

Host profile image
We bought this unused dilapidated trailer in 2020 for a weekend retreat and reprieve from City living and traffic.

Removed all of the old furniture, painted all rooms, replaced rotted flooring, removed nasty carpeting and replaced with new vinyl plank flooring, replaced most windows and updated the bathroom. Totally renovated enclosed porch with new picture windows, tongue-and-groove pine walls and ceiling, new fans and lights, new flooring, siding, insulation, heat pump and A/C. Replaced the deck boards and rails on both decks.

The Mrs. took a new job in the area, so we purchased a new home nearby on the Potomac side of the Northern Neck in Callao. Our weekend retreat wasn't needed as much . . . although we do still come here frequently due to the solitude.

Why they chose this property

Quiet. Peaceful. Relaxing.

What makes this property unique

Waterfront. Quiet. Space outside. Pier. Sunrises and sunsets are spectacular.
