Book this popular vacat THE HOME: Following your approach down a long drive, two theatrical statues greet you at the entrance gate. Pull into the circular drive. You have arrived at Rathlin River Retreat! Your vacation starts now. Send the kids to the game room with ping pong and foosball, stretch your legs, and take it in. The house beckons with its grand entrance, but first, the view from atop the bluff is where you go next. Breathe in the fresh air and gaze out on our quiet cove and the Corrotoman River. Walk down to the dock and get close to the water. Note the outdoor shower, fish cleaning sink, kayaks and paddle board. On your way back up the stairs, the pool is to your right and overlooks the cove. Lounge chairs and patio seating provide great vantage points for keeping an eye on the pool activities or stretching out with a book. Or napping. Or whatever makes you happy. Let’s go into the sunroom next; the best room in the house. Mix a cocktail at the bar or bring your morning coffee here to watch the river wake up. This room faces North West and is a prime sunset viewing space. (As is the entire back side of the property actually). Also a great gathering space for checking phones. (Wait, no. Not that!). From here access both the well-equipped kitchen, the comfortable living room with breakfast (or poker) table, and the cozy living room. Grab a game or book from our small library and kick back. On the other end of this comfortable one level retreat are the bedrooms. The king suite with private bath, a fun room with two queens, and a third bunk room that sleeps four. The last two rooms share a beautiful renovated bathroom. On the lower level is an escape room. Roll out your mat or lounge on the daybed when it all gets to be too much! Laundry is adjacent. (The daybed is not a sleeping space). THE COTTAGE: The Cottage is a small, private suite separate from the main house but super close. It’s perfect for all manner of guests, from the grands who like quiet to the couple looking for a bit more pri-va-see. Truly escape the group in this newly renovated space with a king bed, full bath, and…wait for it…towel warmer. Treat yourself by calling dibs on this one. THE GAME ROOM: Lots of foosball spinning, dart throwing, and ping pong smashing fun to be had here. Oh right. The kids. You left them in the game room! Go rustle them up and plan tomorrow’s activities. There is so much to explore in the Northern Neck. That is if you can pull yourself away from this paradise! *Please note, the boat on the dock is not for guest use, but please bring and dock your own boat during the stay.
