Everything was in excellent order in the home. Shannon communicated well and gave clear instructions for check in. The welcome book was very thorough with regards to the local area.
Very nice get away on the water. Private quiet location perfect for some time to decompress. Amazing views from the cottage! Enjoyed the hot tub on the chilly evenings.
The host is very welcoming. There were snacks upon arrival. The location is unbeatable. The house is adorable and very private. It was our second stay here and we didn’t want to leave.
Another wonderful 5 nights at the bay house, house is so beautiful and views of the bay from everywhere in the house, from the beautiful sunrises and sunsets to fishing on the dock, everything you need is right there, Shannon is a wonderful host and is always there when needed to answer questions, we will be back for a 3rd time!
Very relaxing and enjoyed hearing the calming sounds of the water on the Ware River from the screened in porch in the rocking chairs. Just what was needed to unwind. Area was quiet and people are friendly.
Clean and well appointed cottage with beautiful views. The owners gave great recommendations for local spots to eat and have fun. Really enjoyed the stay.
The property was wonderful, and the location is exquisite. My family and I truly loved our stay, and we especially enjoyed viewing the beauty of God’s creation. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
My 2 sisters and I stayed for 4 nights. Beds were so comfortable, and we had everything we needed to make our stay a memorable one. Nice places to sit outside, and a long dock with benches made for great photos. We would definitely stay here again.
Everything was great- from the comfortable furniture to the fully equipped kitchen (including the brand new refrigerator!) to the spectacular water views from every room. It is a delight to stay in this cottage and we look forward to returning!
Amazing cottage on the river! The house was very clean and the location was perfect. Shannon was an amazing host and the cottage was so well kept. We will be back for another weekend!

About the host
Hosted by Shannon French
When I was 27 years old, I decided to sell real estate. Shortly after at the age of 29, I decided to open my own brokerage, Southern Trade Realty (Oct. 2006 so you do the math to see how old I am now)! I quickly learned to combine my passion for designing, creating and decorating to another level. I started to invest in real estate at a very young age, and I am still very passionate about it. I really enjoy getting to know my guests and proud to say I now have repeat business. I concentrate on making sure my guests are happy and I take pride in the comfort of my properties and of course, the decor has to be just right. Feel free to call me Shannon 804-815-1912.
Why they chose this property
This area is where I personally grew up. I remember the days on the river at a very young age. I fished, crabbed, learned how to swim, relax, kayak, explore and I am still enjoying all of this today with my family and friends.
What makes this property unique
Pictures cannot even describe this property (many of our guests say this once they arrive). It is one of the most serene places to be. Listening to the waves crash up against the rocks at night, taking a nap in the hammock on a warm summer afternoon, to watching the Osprey on the river, there is not a better place to enjoy nature at it's best. It is all at your fingertips.
