About this house rental
Please read this entire description before renting as it contains detailed information about what to expect and the pet policy and check in and out considerations (at the end of description.
For over 70 years our family has owned Mom and Pop's cottage. Reputed to be the first home on Honest Point. the cottage is the epitome of relaxed uncomplicated living. The house was renovated and upgraded for guests about 8 years ago and we continue to add improvements as the needs arise.
Mom and Pop's cottage is situated on deep water and has a small beach. The shore drops off slowly providing small children with safe places to play in the water. The surrounding acres provide ample opportunities for children and pets to roam around. The owner's family lives in the house next door and is immediately available should there be problems but otherwise tries to leave guests alone to enjoy Mom and Pop's without interference.
The interior includes an equipped kitchen, two bedrooms, (a queen bed in one, 2 doubles in the other), one bathroom w shower, living room office space and two screened porches.
The house is located in the historic Northern Neck region of Virginia. Enjoy crabbing, fishing, boating, kayaking, winery tours, local breweries, and the historic homes of George Washington, Robert E Lee and James Monroe.
If you prefer wildlife rather than night life this is the place for you. Wake up each morning to eagles, geese, herons, and local crabbers fishing their pots. This is a quiet rural location with plenty of acreage which will give you the chance to get away from the bustle and stress of the city. Most amenities can be reached within 30 minutes.
A note for those from the city -- we live in an area where "critters" are a fact of life. Some of them are a pleasure to see and some of them are a nuisance. We make every effort to accent the positive and eliminate the negative critters that you may encounter . Should you encounter any unwelcome visitors you should call us immediately and we will address the problem.
Can be rented for the summer or the year at reduced rates

Nice and quiet with a wonderful view of the river. Just what we needed to decompress from our busy lives.

Simply put this is just a lovely place. Sitting on the screened in porch, watching birds and including eagles, fly over the water was simply stunning. It was very quiet. Ended up beaching my boat at the small beach. my wife was kind of recovering from some medical issues, and she slept spectacularly given the quietness of the area. The house is quaint and charming. I cannot say enough about this place.

We loved our stay at mom and Pops so much that we hope to come back next year! The view was incredible and the small Sandy beach is just the right size for what we needed. I am not on the river, we spent most of our time in the screened in porch, looking at the spectacular views. Can’t wait to come back!

This property is a nice little no frills cottage. Owners were very quick to respond. For us, with kids that love to swim, we were most disappointed by the jellyfish. Both my kiddos were stung in the first few minutes in the water and therefore were scared to swim the remainder of the trip. We realize this is not the owners fault, but we wish we would have known before booking. Otherwise, cute small cottage with great screened in porches and a great view of the water.
