This charming and stylish house is an easy stroll (less than a half mile) to the restaurants and shops of Irvington and less than a half mile to the Tides Inn. It's situated on a half-acre lot -- enjoy privacy, peace, and quiet! We are TRULY in the heart of Irvington, centrally located between the Tides Inn and the Hope and Glory. If you are seeking a cozy and inviting spot, you have found it! The house has a gas fireplace which adds ambiance and warmth in the fall and winter months! We have fast Internet (500 Mbps through Breezeline) for streaming. PLEASE NOTE: This property is privately owned and managed. You will deal directly with us, not a corporation. We are the owners, and we want you to have an excellent stay. HOUSE DETAILS: Bedroom #1 -- This spacious main-level bedroom features a queen-sized bed, a chair for reading, built-in bookcases, and a large double closet. It is attached to a bath with a soaking tub. Bedroom #2 -- This bedroom is upstairs, which allows for privacy. It also has a queen-sized bed with adjustable reading lights mounted above the headboard. There is a TV for Roku streaming, a closet, and a private bath attached (with a shower, no tub.) Living Room -- Our living room has a sofa, a love seat, and a chair for plenty of seating for relaxing or watching TV. Our gas fireplace is cozy in the cooler months and is operated by a remote for instant ambiance. Dining Room -- The dining room has a table that seats four and has windows that look out onto the back patio. Kitchenette -- Our kitchen is small but is fully stocked. It has a full-sized fridge and stove, a double sink, a microwave, a toaster oven, pots and pans, dishware, glassware, a Keurig, etc. We also have a French Press and a drip coffeemaker. We do not have a dishwasher. Patio -- We have a brick patio on the back of the house. It offers views of the lawn and trees. If you are an early riser, you may be treated to a family of deer grazing on the grass. Occasionally, you may see a bald eagle fly by! There's a table, chairs, and a Weber Grill for your convenience. It's a nice spot to dine al fresco or enjoy your favorite beverage. Yard -- We are on a flat half acre and have one set of Adirondack chairs near the back patio and another set near the front of the house. We also have a table and four chairs behind the hedge upfront, which is also a nice spot for relaxing. We are just a few steps away from where the Tides Inn is planting its Culinary Gardens -- the gardens are in process now but it's still a lovely and quiet walk. Stairs -- The house was built around 1890\. The stairs are in line with what was common at that time. As such, they are narrow and somewhat steep. Please keep this in mind when booking. They are similar to what one might find in historic rowhouses in Richmond, Washington, DC, or Old Town, Alexandria. Other details: If, like us, you are fond of coffee, we offer a Keurig PLUS a drip coffee machine and filters PLUS our favorite, a French Press. We want you to have all of the caffeine options! If you hate making coffee, both The Local and Livi's Market make a great cup and both are an easy stroll right up the street. We invite you to unwind and relax at this jewel box of a house. Please feel free to ask us any questions! This stylish home is the perfect place for a romantic getaway, a quiet retreat, or a great place to chill and regroup. We are fortunate to have hosted many return guests over the years and would love you to be one of them! If you have friends or family getting married in the area, the house is super convenient to The Tides Inn, The Hope and Glory Inn, and an easy drive to many other popular wedding sites.

Our first visit to the area and we loved it. Quiet, beautiful area and the house was perfect for our needs. Our hosts were so accommodating and friendly. We needed to arrive later than expected due to my elderly mother being ill and Laurie was so understanding and kind. House has everything you need and if you have a dog the large yard was so convenient. Would definitely book again!!! ##### Carmella F.

The location could not have been better -- in walking distance to the Tides Inn, the Local, and a few cute shops. There was more to see and do just a short drive away. The house itself was very cute and my daughter loved having her own room and bathroom. The streaming options (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) didn't work, but I think they just need to be upgraded. The jacuzzi jets in the big tub were TO DIE FOR. We highly recommend! ##### Anna W.

Everything worked perfect for me and my boyfriend. He has cerebral palsy and the kitchen was small and perfect for him to help me in the kitchen and for him to help with dishes. Everything was easy access and the place was perfect for our stay for the dog. The neighborhood was beautiful and great for walks and everyone we met was so friendly. Everything is so close by and everything was great that we went to. We would definitely stay there again. ##### M M.

Perfect place to base to scope out the Northern Neck. It was the right size for our family of three. My daughter loved having an entire floor to herself. There wasn’t a shower in the downstairs bathroom but it was easy for us to share bathrooms. Loved sitting on the patio in the morning. Definitely a one person kitchen. 😀 ##### Sally S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carol F. 14 May 2024 Liked: Check-in, location #### Started off well but then... We appreciated the owners accommodating the need to reschedule due to illness. The house is located on a great street and area for walking, including dogs. The owners were very communicative during the booking and check-in process. There were some concerns during the trip. The main level AC went out which the hosts had serviced as quickly as possible, but dealing with the HVAC co. while on vacation was inconvenient. That alone would not have been a huge issue except that additionally, the yard was very overgrown; the lawn was knee-high in places and the landscaping was full of weeds. Both concerned us about the dogs playing in the yard and taking them in the grass after dark. We notified the hosts and someone was to come mow early the next morning. We decided to check out early, leaving after lunch, and no one had come yet to mow. Upstairs, the TV remote did not work, there was no dresser which meant that guest just laid their belongings out on a bench, and the bathroom had no place to store toiletries, so those items were just on the floor. The downstairs bedroom is not as pictured and has a large, white laminate dresser instead of how it is staged for the picture. The biggest disappointment, however, was that after having been so communicative, when we informed the hosts that we were leaving a full day early, they did not ask why, if there was a concern, or offer a price adjustment due to the inconvenience with the AC and concerns with the unkept lawn. ##### Carol F.

Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tucker H. 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This is a delightful little house in the heart of Irvington, perfect for a 2-night/3-day get away. The house is clean, tidy, well furnished, nicely decorated, fully supplied. A couple of minor complaints. It's dark and needs brighter lighting. The electrical outlets are inconveniently located, e.g. behind the bed where my partner had to plug in her CPAP machine which she needs at night for sleep apnea. But overall we enjoyed our stay there and found it to be in an ideal location to enjoy the Northern Neck. ##### Tucker H. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ---
