Best of Both Worlds! Close to Chincoteague; yet secluded enough to enjoy nature in a quiet, relaxed setting. The Lodge has 2 bedrooms/2 twin beds in each, 1 bath, fully equipped kitchen, large open eating and family area. All linens provided. The porch is screened in & has a hot tub & outside shower. There is also a huge screened house with fireplace, sink, gas grill & burners, & a charcoal grill. Huge yard for kids and pets too! *Ask about the king size private sleeping area for an extra fee* Enjoy all the Eastern shore of Virginia has to offer! Welcome to Messongo Lodge! Listen to the owls & woodpeckers while having a drink by a fire in the screenhouse. Screenhouse is also equipped with gas grill, charcoal grill & 2 regular size gas burners. Screenhouse= NO BUGS! Watch the deer, turkey and other wildlife in the 20 acre field from the screen house or hot tub of the screened in lodge porch.....(don't forget your binoculars) or enjoy the game on tv from the hot tub if you prefer. Screen-porch = NO BUGS! And your very well behaved 4-legged (and 2 legged) children will love running and playing ball in the spacious yard. In the spring/summer, enjoy the purple martins, hummingbirds, eagles, hawks, butterflies, dragonflies, bats and other winged friends! And if you're really lucky and happen to be staying during a Wallops Island launch...you can partially view it from the backyard. There are also several boat launches nearby to get you on the bay for fishing, crabbing and clamming, and the Pocomoc sound for a true nature experience. Don't forget your kayak, too! A short drive west will take you to Saxis where you can launch your boat or look for sea glass. 25 minutes east is Chincoteague. See the ponies, check out the birding trails, water park, or book a nature boat ride. Enjoy great restaurants and shop the unique boutiques. 30 minutes south is the quaint town of Onancock where you can enjoy boating/kayaking, shopping, & dining. Located on a very quiet country road, 2 miles away from Sun-Outdoors Campground, the Messongo Lodge sleeps 4 (2 bedrooms with 2 twin beds in each). There is one bathroom with large shower. Washer and dryer in garage. Other amenities include plenty of parking for vehicles and boats, full kitchen, large dining area for food and games, open one-level floor plan, satellite tv and internet. **NEW FOR 2024*** Inquire about the "cottage"...a private sleeping space 25 feet away from the Lodge. An additional nightly fee is charged for this space. This renovated office space resembling a corn-crib has a king bed, climate control & mini fridge. There is no bathroom, tv or internet. Couples traveling with other couples enjoy the separation. ( Owner's vacation home is also on the property, but out of respect for your privacy, and to give you the ultimate experience, they will not be present during your stay.) **Due to the remoteness of the property, wifi may be very spotty & slow** ****No hunting is permitted anywhere on this property****
