About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Large, safe, WATERFRONT home in Idyllic setting with kayaks, bikes, &GARAGE use.

A visit to The River Grande provides a perfect escape to focus in on the family or your friends...the safety and serenity in an atmosphere of a comfortable home that you are welcome to enjoy along with a high-end game room on the lower floor. This is truly a luxurious dream-come-true property with expansive water views throughout much of the home's many windows...inviting you out on the dock, in the gazebo for a cookout, or on the lawn with a big hammock to cozy up and watch the stars, the sunrise/sunset, or to watch the river flow or set up the crab traps. Comfortably accommodating up to 8 Guests, there is an option to expand to UP TO 14 when rented in with Homeaway Listing # HA7936747, which is Rivers Reach which has an infinity pool open May through the end of September.

Built into a slope, the ground floor entry opens to the Great Room with soaring ceilings and celestory windows. Water views from every angle.

Your family and friends will naturally gather in the multi-cook designed, fully fitted kitchen with dining island. Find yourselves gravitating around the massive dining table nestled into a light filled viewing rotunda when it’s time to dine or play games. With its surrounding decking with outdoor table and chairs, you’re bound to step out and find early risers enjoying their morning coffee just outside either set of French Doors. And, adding to your getaway experience, you will find a deep seating living room space where you are sure to kick back and enjoy the giant flat screen TV and surround system. A powder room and the washer/dryer complete the amenities found on this floor.

Head up the stairway to the upper floor. Here, you will find two Master sized bedrooms, one with full en-suite bath. Both are furnished with Queen Beds and cozy nooks to relax and enjoy the water views. In the master bedroom you have access a large walk in closet with a safe. A full bath conveniently located two steps across the hall is reserved for the second Master. All bed and bath linens supplied.

Head to the Lower Walk-Out Floor and you may never see those who descend. Pool table. Huge flat screen TV. Poker table. Full Bath. Wine fridge. And, for those not choosing to sleep on the Top Floor, two Twin Size Daybeds and Trundles, accommodating 4; linens supplied.

And, don’t forget the attached screened Gazebo with almost a full Outdoor Kitchen, dining table and chairs, overhead fans, and lighting. Pull in a lounge chair and you could, literally, “glamp out” here. There is a propane cooker to cook the crabs out here!

Full dock access (shared with RiversReach) and use of kayaks, bikes, and crab pots. There is also an outside firepit.

When rented WITH property HA7936747, (space for 6) ... your Party of UP TO 14 will enjoy the pleasures of the large INFINITY POOL and receive a 5% discount on the entire package, excluding cleaning fees. 10% weekly rental, 20% off monthly rental.

Rental rates for THIS property reflect NON-USE of the pool. Pool MAY ONLY be used by this property when booked in conjunction WITH HA7936747

The property will be available throughout the most of the year, so plan to spend the Holidays at our "Rivah" home where the Game Room and welcoming kitchen (including a brand new gas stove)and huge gazebo provide the perfect spot from which to make memories as you explore all the Northern Neck has to offer. From Vineyards, Craft Breweries, Oysters, Crabs, Artists and Artisans to Farmer's Markets, Antiques, and Historic Sites and Quaint Communities you will find it all here.

Lovely Relaxing Visit

We have not been to the Northern Neck of Virginia before and found it to be very relaxing and lovely. The water was perfect to paddleboard on and no one was around us during the pandemic. The perfect place to just get away.

Reedville River House

Pretty nice house with some quirkiness like odd placement of light switches but once you figure it out it's quite nice. The kitchen isn't as well furnished as I would have liked, no strainer for instance and good luck finding a lid that matches a pan but we made it work. The listing could be a bit more accurate like noting that the paddle boal leaks but overall we rented the place to get a change of scenery and relax in a different environment and this worked well for us.

Not happy

House was not clean. The outdoor kitchen was a mess, we did not use it. Very disappointed. From the write up with a 5 premier rating. I expected a very clean and well maintained house.

Beautiful Riverside Home!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the river. It's a lovely well-maintained house with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Allison was very easy to reach and provided lots of suggestions for activities. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of cookware and basics, including a wine/beer fridge. We loved spending time on the dock and kayaking in the river. There are several fishing poles and crab pots which were fun to check each day even though we never caught anything bigger than a golf ball. We loved roasting marshmallows in the fire pit and watching the sunrise from the deck. Even with a full week rental I didnt get a chance to take full advantage of all the amenities I had planned to so I hope we can stay here again! A few minor inconveniences: there is only one rack in the oven so cooking a Thanksgiving dinner took a little longer doing one dish at a time. The internet router is shared with the house next door so if it goes out your neighbors also lose WiFi. We couldn't find a pump for the bike tires so only one was usable. Note that the road to the house is gravel but is relatively easy to walk/bike on, it's nearly a mile to the main paved road. The dock is shared with the neighboring house so you may encounter other vacationers but we didn't have any problems with it. We brought our own FireTV stick because there isn't cable. For our group we would have preferred an extra full or queen bed in the basement but the twin day beds with trundles would be fine for 4 kids. The basement felt a little musty and dusty and we couldn't get the fireplace to work but we had a lot of fun with the pool table. Overall we had very few complaints!

Fabulous location and host!

We spent a long weekend here as two families of 4 and had plenty of space & a great time! The owner was super-responsive, helpful and generous. We enjoyed the kayaks and catching our own crabs! We appreciated how well-stocked the kitchen was with spices and equipment. The kids had their own space to sleep and play in the basement, which worked out perfectly! Loved this house!

Delightful House

Came with a few friends for a charter fishing trip, and the house had all the amenities described. The house really excelled when it came to cooking and eating: plenty of pots and pans, grill tools, and dishware. It was a bit difficult to figure out which dock belonged to the house, but after a little effort we were kayaking away. Two things for future visitors: it is a little difficult to use both trundle beds in the basement at the same time, and you'll need to bring a few extra towels as the house doesn't have many. Overall a great place to relax!

Awesome for Waterfront Vacation

The property was clean. Furnishings were in good condition. The location is remote but there are stores close enough to get whatever you need. Good location for kayaks and I brought my own boat to the dock. Fishing was great aa was crabbing from the dock.

Great getaway!

We had plenty to do in and around the house. Especially enjoyed the gazebo and kayaks. So much wildlife - herons, crabs, jellyfish, ospreys, cormorants, gulls, songbirds - I could go on. Especially recommend mid-week when Hughlett Point is less crowded.

Nice Pet-friendly house in quiet location

We had a great time at Allison's place and she was a wonderful host, responded very quickly to all messages and suggestions. The house is located in a quiet neighborood which we found to be very peaceful. Just keep in mind that except for the local gas station and general store you do need to travel about 15+ minutes to a grocery store. The house was well-stocked from a kitchen perspective and did include extra blankets and pillowsas well as some books and board games. We all enojoyed the game room, kayaks and crab traps (we tried...). Beds were comfy and showers had good water pressure. We had 4 kids downstairs in the game room and it worked out great. No issues with Wifi and/or Netflix. We had 2 dogs and they loved swimming. Having an outdoor deck to contain them while they dried off was also a plus. Overall would recommend.

Wonderful retreat!

Pandemic. Election. Stressful jobs. We needed to get away for awhile and this peaceful waterfront property was prefect. The main floor is particularly stunning with an open floor plan, huge windows, cathedral ceilings and a well equipped modern kitchen (we especially appreciated the gas stove and the wine cooler). Although we didn't take out the kayaks, we enjoyed lots of time on the dock, had lunch in the gazebo, and took walks down the quiet gravel road each morning. The Fall colors were beautiful. The area is secluded and peaceful and within 30 minutes of wonderful hiking (loved Hughlett Point), quaint towns and friendly wineries. Fine dining (outdoors or in) at Chesapeake Restaurant at the Tides Resort in Irvington was a fun change of pace. Allison was very responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this property for rest and rejuvenation!

Much needed relaxation

What a great escape from the hustle and bustle of DC! We found the home to be perfect for our needs. Hey- a weekend where my kids don’t have phones or video games AND they still want to stay?!?! I’ll say that’s a win. The home was well stocked and spacious. We felt right at home. We spent our days kayaking, crabbing and fishing. We spent our nights playing pool in the game room. I never heard the words, “I’m bored.” Allison provided us a couple of restaurant recommendations that were spot on. We loved the Crusty Crab and Horn Harbor. Also, give Lead Belly’s a shot. Great food and the locals treated us as such. Mr. Burns(the gentlemen who takes care of the property) is just a GEM of a human. He was available to help us if we had any questions or concerns. I’d rate this stay an A+. The only downside is that we didn’t book longer. Thanks Allison!!
