Rented this property for a family reunion for my husbands family to stay in (5 people). Provided a great location for them close to our home, where they could relax and have their own bedrooms and bathrooms. Very reasonable cost. Being close to Tim’s II restaurant was a great perk as we were able to have family dinner for 11 people there with no issues. I would definitely rent this place again.

The sun room is the entryway and is up a few (5?) steps from the driveway. The open kitchen, dinning and family is roomy for 4 people. Two bedrooms and a bathroom are just off of the kitchen ares. The spacious master suite is up a long flight of stairs. It features a king-sized bed, a walk - in shower. Lots of power and usb outlets, a stunning view of the Potomac River. Also available through the master bedroom is the Laundry Room that has massive washer and dryer.The kitchen has a Keurig 2.0 Coffee pot, The host has provided a selection of K-pods from Food Lion. The refrigerator is a full-sized LG. The range/oven is gas. There is a microwave oven.It is a bit of a drive (25 minutes) from Fredericksburg, but to get away from the hourly-burly of the Washington DC area is a just tradeoff. WMATA and VRE stops are an hour away at Huntington or Franconia stations.Overall it was comfortable, restful, clean and gave us access to Monticello and to DC. A great VRBO.

We had a great stay. We were there to see my son and grandson for the week. The property is in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the local restaurant. Shelly was very responsive to our inquiries. We would definitely stay there again.

By far the best place we have ever stayed. The house is well equipped. The host was very quick to respond to messages. All this and a spectacular view of the river. I will definitely stay here again when we are back in the area for a visit.
