Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Rappahannock River

What a find! We were attending a wedding on the Potomac and found this gem of a place basically right next door. A perfectly appointed home in a peaceful, tranquil, beautiful setting. Connie was great! Responsive to our need to find the iron, not exactly an emergency, Connie responded immediately with it's location. Loved it!

We had a wonderful stay. The property was beautiful- very well kept and cozy. We were very comfortable. Rose was easy to communicate and so inviting. Thanks for a great visit we will come back someday!

Had a great weekend in the Northern Neck here! We watched a pod of dolphins and stingrays from the backyard, enjoyed easy access to nearby parks, and had a great time cooking in the kitchen. This is seemingly a very recently renovated house, and all the towels, sheets, beds, etc. seemed brand new as well. It was super clean, super comfy, and the hosts were very responsive! I liked that the property was surrounded on one side by forest as well—it was nice and quiet and secluded. Finally, they have a super cute collection of board games disguised as old timey books. I'd definitely stay here again!

TL;DR: this was easily one of our favorite Airbnb experiences. We absolutely cannot wait to come back. We spent a week at Evan's cottage for my wife's birthday. Our party included 5 adults, 2 small pups, and an infant and there was more than enough room for all of us to stay comfortably. Evan was an incredible host- promptly responsed to all of our inquires, and regularly checked in to make sure if we needed anything. The house itself. Hot damn. It is stunning. The landscaping envelopes you in lush greens and blooming flowers, the view overlooking the Chesapeake is amazing, and the house is filled with every amenity you could imagine. (Huge shoutout to all the baby gear - as new parents, this was a lifesaver). The beds we're cozy, the kitchen was *stocked*, and the interior design was ::chef's kiss:: While the immediate area (10ish min drive) has everything covered for basics, you're only a quick trip into Annapolis to get anything else you may need for your trip.

We loved the accommodations! Very private. Host was very kind and made us feel at home.

This home was lovely. A lot of fun activities at the home and right near the lake. We enjoyed the games and golf cart a lot. The beds and pillows were very comfy!

SUCH wonderful friendly, and personable host!! We love Victor ;-). We (3 ladies) intentionally had a “relax our brain” peaceful weekend. There is so much to write. We enjoyed the peaceful, relaxing and comfortable stay. The decor is delightful; so welcoming! We loved the personal touches like the welcome note and fresh cut flowers. There were beautiful indoor real plants and amazing views from every angel! They also recommended local places to go. We enjoyed siping coffee in the sun room, giggling all night drinking wine and sunset views. Thank you for proving the best quiet place we could ask for. Our stay exceeded our expectations. We appreciate the details and your attentiveness!

A lovely space designed for quality family time!

Kendall was a great host. She took care of what I needed and was friendly and responsive. The house and location were great! Very private and perfect if you have a dog. We were very pleased. Thanks Kendall!

This is a great place to stay and tour the DC Metro area - provided you have a car. Most days it would take us 30 minutes to get to and from DC though if we hit rush-hour, it was as long as an hour. The space is tidy and great. My kids love the pool, though it was a little cold for me-they swam there every night. Jennifer is great to communicate if you have any needs she gets stuff done right away. Note that there is only one bathroom, which can be a pain if you have a full house of six people. The washer and dryer are small so it will take you longer if you’re used to a full size. She had all the cooking methods and appliances available. The theater room has Netflix and Amazon prime ready for you to watch a show. There is even a popcorn maker. We did not use the gym, but it was nice - comparable to a small hotel gym. Property is in the owner’s basement, so there is some sound from upstairs as identified in the listing. Host stays out of your way but is there if you need anything.

Donna’s space was perfect for a weekend away. Everything we needed, and more, was available! The space was extremely well kept and comfortable. Donna was great with sharing instructions, checking on how things were going and offering local things to do. We will definitely stay here again if available!

Stayed at Erin’s place for a night and wish it was longer! The room is steps away from the restaurant I met with my friends at. It is situated near all that Del Ray and the rest of Alexandria has to offer. In addition, the bed was quite comfortable and the suite itself is quite luxurious.

Really loved that it was such a kid-friendly space (e.g., bunk bed, pack n' play, crib). It made traveling with a toddler and 3mo a little less stressful! It was well stocked with linens, bathroom supplies, and kitchen supplies, which is always a plus too!

Great lighting and solid location, parking was a little tough with construction in the area but the apartment was perfect

Driving back from the funeral of a favorite Uncle and dealing with family drama my soul was craving peace, comfort and a respite from everything for a bit. I found that respite in this Air BnB. The river view was blissful and everything was as described, no hassle and no surprises. Here are some things that I hope the reader finds helpful. 1) You can get the keys from the back porch entrance but bring your luggage up thru the carport door or the front don't try to bring your luggage up that spiral staircase. 2) Bring any silverware you may need and a coffee stirrer 3) The device to the side of the bed IS NOT THE AC CONTROL, lol it is the sleep number bed remote. Check that both sides are set to the same setting before getting into bed. Fun fact: Another guest must have thought it would be funny to switch one side on high and the other side on low. The bed sags on one side if you do that. It was so peaceful, I loved it. She couldn't have been more sweet and delightful.

This was our second stay with Renee and we enjoyed ans much as our first stay. The property is just beautiful and so peaceful. Our apartment is so comfortable and offers everything that we need, plus some much appreciated extras like shower supplies bottled, water and snacks. We hope to be back again in August.

Our stay at Occaquan was peaceful, relaxing, and very much needed. Arriving to the parking lot was a breeze, only because if John's specific instructions to find it, that was very much appreciated after a long drive. Walking into the place, first impression, looks just like the picture. The very next thought, "how cute is this". From the beautiful window behind the couch with a lovely tree to watch birds in to the cozy feeling of being in a familiar place. This place is quiet, surrounded with beautiful historic scenery, and has many local shops and vendors to spend an afternoon exploring. We walked down to the park by the water way and learned some history while soaking up the sun and the breeze of nature. I absolutely recommend John's place for a stay. I know I will be returning for a simple, relaxing get away, once again! Thank you John for everything!

We had another nice stay at Mark’s place while attending our daughter’s graduation at VCU.

Exactly as advertised. Quiet and convenient.

No ghosts were seen or felt despite being a civil war hospital. Super cute place! Whoever decorated it did a lovely job… those vertical stripes on the walls and all white paint make the basement apartment feel large and airy despite having only a few small windows. Host was very nice and responsive with questions.

Great space in a perfect location in Old Town. Starbucks on the same block, Trader Joe’s quick walk, close to King Street and the water. Place matched pictures and I would love to stay there again when I’m in the area.

Thomas’ place was stunning. The view was amazing, and the entire space felt cozy, charming, extremely clean, and peaceful. The location was perfect—beautiful and walkable, close to Tysons malls, great restaurants, and the Tysons Metro station. A perfect spot for anyone visiting the DC area. Thomas was very attentive and provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions. Overall, this is a top-notch place and probably my favorite choice when visiting the DC area.

Jamil & Rania, are easily the most responsive hosts we have experienced on AirBnb. They made everything from check in to check out so easy; got back within minutes on any questions or concerns. The pics do not do the apartment justice. The decor and layout is in such good classic taste, everything from the wonder sofa, bathroom fittings, Master bed is the most comfortable bed ever slept in and sheets, duvet and pillows are high quality. Going to see if we can buy that mattress:-) Kitchen is very well stocked in terms of dishware, pots and pans etc, Coffee maker and k cups an added bonus, Dis-washer super easy to use. Work desk as super addition for log in to check work emails - wi-fi excellent. Sofa amazing as is mirror and walk in closet. Give them 5 stars, definitely stay again; definitely recommend! Thank to you both!

A nice spot in a good location to explore Richmond. The building is a former industrial setting, which creates some interesting (in a good way) interiors. Walking distance to lots of the fan district and an easy drive to carytown or downtown. Designated parking was a plus. Jill gave clear instructions.
