Golden Days River Cottage - Family & pet friendly, river view, water access

Welcome to our "Rivah" cottage - we have been waiting to find a perfect peaceful river getaway for our family, we were lucky to find this gem & we want to share it with you! Morattico is the sweetest little village filled with friendly neighbors & an amazing waterfront museum. Walk across the street to our shared river porch, fish in the Rappahannock River or walk down the road to a shared beach and pier access where you can kayak and swim in Lancaster Creek. Separate studio/building with twin bunk and queen bed with dedicated desk and view of the tidal pond.
Fenced yard. Outdoor shower. Wifi. Noise makers. Memory foam mattress pads. Well stocked kitchen. Fire pit. Room darkening curtains.
If you want to get away from it all and relax near the water, this is the place!
