"My husband and I decided on a last-minute vacation to de-stress and unwind. Our only criteria was a hot tub with a water view and “Serenity on the Rappahannock” fit the bill perfectly! The home was clean, spacious, well stocked, and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the decks for peaceful morning coffee and stunning sunsets. The water facing hot tub was perfect for relaxing! (There is a neighbor to the right so we hung a tarp for a little bit of privacy.) We also unexpectedly loved the nighttime dock fish lights and all the food chain activity they brought – so mesmerizing and fun to watch! We really appreciated the timely and thoughtful communication with host Trent. We took some time to explore a couple of the charming nearby towns, all about 15 minutes away. Some of our favorites: Waterfront dining at The Merrior Tasting Room in Topping and Willaby’s Café in White Stone. In Irvington, we loved the Red Fish Art Gallery (where all profits go to charity!) and dinner at The Office Bistro with good food and a fun vibe! Our relaxation continued in Kilmarnock with a massage at LaSource Spa and an incredible Sound Bowl Healing Session with (world-renowned classical singer!) Esther Heideman, thebowlmovement.com. Our favorite night was walking over to the Tiki Bar at Windmill Point (.03 miles) for cocktails and dinner at the outside bar. We had an incredible time in this lovely home and area and are already thinking about dates to return! "
