About this property
Ropeyarn | Riverside Architectural Gem
Welcome to Ropeyarn – Your Waterfront Retreat on the Piankatank
Set on the peaceful shores of the Piankatank River in Deltaville, Virginia, Ropeyarn is more than just a name — it’s a nod to the timeless nautical tradition of taking a well-earned break. Once a term used by sailors for a pause from duty and time to mend, Ropeyarn now invites you to do the same: slow down, reconnect, and soak in the serenity.
Designed by the celebrated architect behind the Tides Inn and Collegiate School in Richmond, this architectural gem blends old-school craftsmanship with modern comfort. With room to sleep up to 12 guests, it's ideal for family getaways, reunions, or group retreats. Inside, you'll find character and creativity in every corner — high ceilings, unique angles, and details that spark conversation and calm.
Step outside to one of the longest docks in the area, perfect for fishing, crabbing, kayaking, or simply watching the sun melt into the river. Whether you're gathered around the table with loved ones or quietly enjoying a book by the water, Rope Yarn is where your personal time begins.
This is your time off the clock. Welcome to Ropeyarn.
The property sleeps up to 12 guests and is perfect for families, friends, or special gatherings. Inside, natural light pours through expansive windows, highlighting soaring ceilings, warm wood details, and thoughtfully crafted spaces designed for relaxation and connection.
Step outside and you’ll discover one of the longest private docks in the area — ideal for boating, fishing, or simply soaking in panoramic waterfront views. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck or enjoying golden-hour breezes on the dock, every moment here feels like an escape.
Peaceful, private, and rich with personality, this is more than just a stay — it’s a memory in the making.

🌊 Waterfront Serenity
Direct river access from a private, newly renovated dock — ideal for boating, kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying the view.
The peaceful location on the Piankatank River allows guests to fully disconnect and soak in the quiet — a true escape from the hustle of everyday life.
🧱 Architectural Charm
Designed by a renowned architect whose work includes iconic Virginia landmarks, this home is full of thoughtful design details and a unique blend of old-world elegance and modern comfort.
Every space feels intentional — from the dramatic library to the light-filled living areas — offering a stay that feels special and deeply personal.
🏡 Spacious & Thoughtfully Equipped
