Holiday rentals with a kayak in Appalachian Mountains

This was just what we needed after an eventful trip. The house sits right on the lake and everything you need to enjoy this setting was included (firewood, kayaks, condiments, etc.) The house had a beautiful view from the large windows in the dining area but also several sitting areas outside as well. The lake is nice and serene with geese, cranes and eagles sightings. The rooms were decorated very nicely and every space was so clean. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice relaxing weekend at the lake!

We loved our night and found it extremely relaxing. Our hosts did everything they could to make our stay the best it could possibly be. Would definitely recommend!

My recent stay at the lake house was nothing short of magical. Nestled among towering pines, the location offered breathtaking views of the shimmering water, perfect for morning coffee on the deck. The house was charmingly decorated, with cozy furnishings that made it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing for delightful family meals, and the outdoor fire pit was ideal for evening gatherings under the stars. I particularly enjoyed the tranquility of the surroundings, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Overall, it was a refreshing retreat, and I can't wait to return!

We had an amazing time at Aaron’s beautiful property! The fire pit and hot tub were great. We took the kayaks out one morning and the lake was absolutely gorgeous and peaceful. Aaron was very responsive and helpful.

We had an amazing time at the lakehouse! Tim and Marissa are super communicative and left many helpful directions! The property is beautiful and the house felt like home away from home! I can't wait to go back! 10/10 recommended 😊

We came here for a private getaway on our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. The price was a bit much, but for such a special time I felt it was worth it at the time I booked, and worth it it certainly was. beautiful, quiet, serene, it was perfect for a getaway. I would absolutely recommend, and I already have, this stay. 10/10

The venue, property and service made great memories. Our host went above and beyond to help and especially with a special request that only an exceptional person would do. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to another visit.

Hutch’s Bluff was a great house in a fabulous location. There was all that you needed for your stay as well as beautiful view of the river. We felt right at home and it was so peaceful and relaxing. Will definitely return.

Thank you so much for a fantastic stay! The place was exactly as described—very clean, comfortable, and in a perfect location for a relaxing getaway. Communication was excellent throughout. Highly recommended!

One word. PERFECT. The host was very nice and sent a message the day we checked in, well before the check in time, explaining exactly how to get to the cabin, where the key was ect. My friend and I brought a ton of movies and games and activities so we spent most of our time indoors but the time outside was great! We spent a fair amount of time outside on the porch (which has fans) on the rocking chairs and the hammock on the deck. I’m usually a mosquito magnet but in the 5 days we stayed I only got bit once on the last night. There was way more included than I expected as well! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and extremely clean. The host also had a little booklet on the table giving a brief overview of anything they could think of from remotes to light switches as well as checkout instructions. There was also a binder with local restaurant menus as well as recommendations for things to do in the area. All in all everything was great and easy and we cant wait to stay again!

Review This was our second time staying in this adorable cottage. We spent 10 days in 2023 & we just spent another 10 days! (May/June 2025) We would love to return again in the future! Clean and cute with a small private beach and gorgeous sunrises! The screen porch and outside shower were a plus! The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. Kayaking was fun! We brought our bikes and daily biked around the area and we also walked the charming town of Urbanna. We attended church at the Urbanna Baptist Church and met several of the locals who were so friendly and welcoming. What a relaxing delightful place! It was a pleasure meeting Ned on our first day. We cannot say enough good things about this enchanting place. Thank you Ned and Holly for sharing your cottage with us and for the great communication! We hope to visit again!

it was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. My husband and I stayed here for our 2nd anniversary. We felt refreshed and at peace. The sauna and hot tub were definitely a pleasure. My favorite night was when I was in the hot tub and it was raining on the tin roof. so relaxing. If we ever go back I will definitely want to stay there again

So relaxing! We are always so busy and on the go, so this was the perfect spot for us! Private, and quiet; we enjoyed how peaceful it was. The space was super cute and clean and had everything we needed. Did some fishing, relaxed in the hot tub, and ate at a couple of local restaurants, The Wellwood, and The Forge. The only thing we didn’t enjoy, was leaving! Looking forward to going back! ❤️

The layout of the house was so gorgeous and homey, and don't even get me started on the bathtub! At no extra cost she decorated the bedroom for our honeymoon, and provided some sweet treats and a bottle of wine. Definitely will be coming back!

We felt right at home. We especially enjoyed the added details such as the massage chair and spa like products in the bathroom. Very peaceful and serene view of the lake with lake access. We would love to come back during the winter and make use of the wood burning stove :)

We had a wonderful stay at this comfortable small cabin with a lake view. The fit and finish of the cabin are great, with an attractive design scheme and thoughtful touches. It is well-decorated, but completely free of clutter. Furniture is comfortable, as is the bed. Overall one of the best-designed Airbnb stays we have had. Host communication is extremely prompt and helpful as well.

Beautiful cabin! Very well kept

My wife and I stayed for an anniversary get away. The house and the surroundings were beautiful. We enjoyed a peaceful evening on the deck. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed. Would definitely visit again

Would love to stay two days but that’s out of budget which leaves rental access from 3 pm to 10 am for the price.

We absolutely loved staying at Rivers Edge! Cutest little cabin with the best view! We got to see a fox across the river looking for some food and a family of deer crossing the river this morning before we left! Cabin was stocked with everything you need and the cleanest Airbnb we have ever stayed in! We will be back and refer all our friends to stay at this mountain paradise!

This is such a cute and cozy little cabin! There is a home nearby but with all of the trees it still is a very secluded and private stay. Just what we needed to relax and reset! Home is clean and all the little details and decorations seemed so thoughtful! There is so much to do even just at the cabin. From board games, corn hole, hot tub, or just hanging out around the fire pit or on the hammock, there is much to do between all the nearby adventures. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

There are many to list, but our favorite attribute was how secluded it felt. Gary was very gracious and helpful at checkin and checkout, but we didn't see or hear anyone during our one night stay. Everything we could have wanted was there, right where we needed it, saving us settling-in time--logs and starter perfectly stacked in the fire pit ready to be lit, blankets to snuggle on the sofas, a broom to sweep off the outdoor chairs. Thoughtful extra touches went beyond what we expected--outdoor fans to keep the bugs away (although it was not very buggy on this mid-June weekend), a magnifying lighted bathroom mirror, a small herb garden. We really appreciated being able to bring our pet with us and saw wild frogs, rabbits, herons. The cabin and multiple deck spaces (dock, hammock, gazebo, camp kitchen, balcony) are spacious. We enjoyed a thick wooded area on one side for walks, an open space on the other for tossing a frisbee, playing carpet ball, and taking out a paddle boat.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. I loved how clean everything was and the setting was peaceful!

I cannot say enough good things about this stay. The host was amazing answering questions almost as soon as I had written them, roses in the bedrooms, fresh flowers in the dinning room and living space. The place was spotless. The coffee bar made for great wake ups swinging on the porch swing and watching a fox walk down the lane. Sitting in the hot tub with the trees in moonlight watching the stars come out felt fantastic. This place had everything you could possibly need but forgot to pack and although the state park pass and the shops in town made for great adventures, I was seriously disappointed I did not have more time to just enjoy the lovely cabin. I could have been perfectly happy if I never ventured outside the cabin it was so nicely decorated and comfortable. We truly felt alone at the top of the world here. Thanks for the memories!
