We had such a great time. Our German Shepherd really enjoyed playing in the yard and on the beach - so much dog swimming. The property is really large and there was lots to explore. The water was a little choppy but we still tried out the paddle boards and had fun. The house has lots of room and would be great for family gatherings (lots of stairs though). We enjoyed morning coffee from the deck with great views of the river. And at night watched movies on big screen TV. This house has everything you need!
We enjoyed our stay here so much. The views from any outside area were fantastic! SO peaceful and beautiful. The house was very comfortable with so much to do it is impossible to be bored. We tried everything, playing pool in the basement with the bar and the fireplace, GIANT tv in the family room, peaceful fireplace on the main level, hot-tub in the sunroom, fire pit on the upper deck with a lovely sunset. We tried to feed the turtles, but I don't think they were out in January. The town also had a few good restaurants and cute shops. We definitely hope to return. If you do use the hot-tub, we found that non-skid shoes would be helpful, like pool shoes, as its a bit hard to get in and out of.
This place is so serene & enjoyable. Pictures really does no justice on how gorgeous it is! We had a great time very comfortable to stay, it was quiet & everyone is so friendly in the town. The hot tub was amazing & the pool table was lots of fun. I highly recommend staying here, you won’t want to leave.

We really enjoyed our week in this beautiful house in the lovely small town of Urbanna. The kids (age 10-20) had so much fun in the water with the kayaks and paddle boards. They also enjoyed biking into town, the hot tub, pool table, watching TV. And we all enjoyed the games, sitting on the back porch, walking into town. The island in the kitchen was perfect for setting out a buffet for everyone to serve themselves. We were happy to have the first floor bedroom and walk out back porch for one of us with limited mobility.
Thoroughly enjoyed our time steps away from the river with everything we needed for fun - paddle boards, kayaks, games, puzzles, and space to chill. Thank you for having us!
