Terrific getaway for college roommates
Needed a last minute spot to stay as another house rental had to be canceled last minute due to repairs, and Ruby was tremendously helpful and gracious in setting us up at this house on the river. Open kitchen to living room was great for hanging out, watching sports, and catching wonderful views of the outdoors. We loved the upper deck later in the afternoon, as well as the fire pit in the back yard. About a 10 min drive into town for food (Blue Crab) or groceries. All in all, a wonderful VRBO and owner.

Great multi-family vacation house
The River House was the perfect accommodation for three families that included 6 adults and 5 teens. The layout was great, with beautiful bathrooms in each bedroom and an amazing bunk room for the girls. The views of the river were fantastic in almost every room, but especially in the kitchen, and family room. The owner was super nice and super responsive to all my questions.

Perfect Vacation!
Our group of 7 adults and 5 kids loved this property! The house was clean, beds comfortable, well stocked kitchen, plenty of linens, and of course the kids loved the huge bunk room. The property is secluded and a relatively short drive to Williamsburg and other activities. Last but not least Ruby was super responsive and easy to work with to book. Thanks for a great stay!

On behalf of our Ohana, the River House was truly amazing. Great Rooms, beautiful bathrooms, the view from the Master was phenomenal (Sunrise was spectalur), Bunkbed Room was so-fun!! Kitchen had everything we needed and family room was great for games. The fire pit (marshmellows & smores, fishing (had alot of nibles and caught a couple large fish) but we let them go., and grilling was our favorite. Visited Jamestown (Glass Blowing), also Williamsburg Shops. Lunched at Craft 31. Enjoyed every minute. Would do this again. To our Host, our warmest Aloha

Amazing House!
We had the best time at sunrise tides! Ruby was the best host I've ever worked with and we've stayed in numerous VRBO's. The house was well stocked including the kitchen and lots of toys in the bunk room closet for our kids to enjoy. As a parent it's nice not to have to lug all the toys from home. The sunrise and sunsets were magical. We look forward to our next visit at this amazing property.

Wonderful relaxing vacation!
This was a perfect spring vacation house for our family. The home is a great for a big group - plenty of space and well stocked. And the VIEWS are amazing! It was lovely waking up every morning to the sunrise over the river, and the kids had a great time kayaking and fishing. We also enjoyed getting into Williamsburg which was an easy drive, as well as the local winery. Host was great to deal with, very helpful in making suggestions for things to do in the area. Highly recommended!
