A timeless cottage on a private, quiet property on the Rappahannock River with charming rose garden, relaxing pool, and quintessentially Virginia feel. Find us on IG @rosehilllcottagerappahannock!
Explore nearby towns of Urbanna, White Stone, and Irvington, or stay close to home to enjoy sweeping views, waterfront Adirondack chairs, and kayaks — perfect for a cocktail or coffee, or take a dip in the river or pool. With open living spaces and thoughtful decor, this is your waterfront retreat.
*THE COTTAGE*
Spacious Rosehill Cottage has three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a main first floor riverfront bedroom with king bed, secondary first floor riverfront bedroom with queen bed, and large upstairs room with two full beds and a pullout couch. Note: the upstairs room has an exterior entrance off the living room.
Downstairs, the fully stocked kitchen opens up to a breakfast area where you can sip your morning coffee while taking in stunning river views.
Then, stroll through the open, airy space to the cozy living room with its roaring fireplace (one of your hosts would like to note this is the perfect off-season spot for a glass of bourbon and watching football), a front sitting area for a sunset read, and a dining area that seats 8.
If youre looking for a spot with strong wifi to work remotely, this is it! Take your meetings while looking out at the river or head upstairs to the office with a desk and a Zoom-ready background.
Outside, youll find adirondack chairs, a picnic table, and a Solo stove fire pit overlooking the Rappahannock River, steps leading into the river with two kayaks, a pool open late spring through mid-fall, a darling rose garden, and even a white picket fence. The charm here is unrivaled –– Rosehill Cottage is your hideaway on the river.
*EXPLORING VIRGINIA’S RIVER REALM*
If youre unfamiliar with the area, were located in Locust Hill, right down the road from Urbanna, where youll find small town dining and shopping –– as well as the heralded Urbanna Oyster Festival (we’re in oyster country!).
Were also just a quick drive from the Northern Neck, Irvington, White Stone the Tides Inn, and, our favorite restaurants in the area, Merroir and Adrift. Deltaville, Mathews, and Gloucester are all also within 20 minutes.
For history buffs, you’re an easy day trip to Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown.
This is where you’ll enjoy a slower pace of life on the “rivah,” and where guests often come from DC (2.5 hours) and Richmond (1 hour, 15 minutes) to escape busy city life.
