About this house rental

This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home is located in historic Falmouth VA, and parts of this home date back to the 1800s. Though it maintains its historic charm on the exterior, it has just recently been remodeled, and therefore, boasts a completely modern/contemporary look on the interior. The house has two private bedrooms on the upper level, both with king-size beds, closets, shades and decor. There is an updated bathroom on the upper level with tiled shower walls and a herringbone-tiled floor. The main level, there is a second bathroom, which includes a stand-alone shower, floating vanity and commode. Also, downstairs, the laundry is located in a closet underneath the stairs, and it has easy access. The front room is considered the living room, while the back room is considered the family room. These rooms flank the central kitchen that boasts all new plumbing, appliances, counters, cabinets, and is completely stocked with the appropriate kitchenware. The kitchen has loads of cabinet and counter space, a sink in the island, and a bar counter for guests to sit and chat. Step outside onto a large deck or down to the private backyard that is bounded by Falls Run Creek, which is flanked by stone walls laid in the 1800s to enable its use as a transportation canal for the movement of goods. The yard abuts the creek, and it is the perfect place to commune with nature, or just relax. If adventurous, follow along the creek to a small waterfall, and then, continue along until it feeds it into the Rappahannock River. Located in the historic town of Falmouth by the Rappahannock River, and just across the river from the city of Fredericksburg, we are in the historic district, conveniently nestled near the Falmouth Bridge. We are within walking distance to a local eatery (Amy's Cafe), and the former home (and now a museum) of artist Gary Melcher. Also nearby is "Falmouth Beach", a local hangout for those who want to enjoy the river, Chatham Manor (a national park), and Pratt and St Clair Brooks parks, which are mostly used for sports and recreation.

For security purposes only, a security camera is mounted on the front exterior of the house. This device can record or transmit video, images or audio.

To ensure noise ordinances are followed, and neighbors are not subjected unacceptable noise making during quiet hours, a noise monitoring devise has been mounted on the rear exterior of the house, This device only assesses sound levels, but does not record audio.

This had to be the nicest VRBO we have ever booked. Everything was perfect. The porch was awesome! We loved listening to the water. We actually followed Falls Creek to it's starting point. We learned Falls Creek had many flour mills it was running. The history is amazing around this area. We also had a night of rain and we sat on the porch and listened to the creek get louder! It was a perfect weekend and we would LOVE to come back!

One of the nicest places I’ve stayed! Will definitely be booking when I come back to town!

Looked newly remodeled with new appliances. Nice, quiet neighborhood other than some noise of motorcycles on the nearby highway. Plenty of towels and a nice bowl of snack items on the counter! Easy access to downtown Fredericksburg or I95 to DC. Fredericksburg also has a train to DC that we took one day. Train took a little longer than driving, but no driving stress. Would definitely book this place again if we return to the area.
