Little House on Jackson Creek

About this space A charming cottage, originally a carriage house with over 100 years of family history. The house is nestled in a wooded parcel of property at the entrance of Jackson Creek, where the Rappahannock River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The family-owned property connected to the cottage is affectionately known as "Waveland." This property, which also includes a larger farmhouse and garden has been in our family for 110 years. It rests on a private point of land that looks out to the Chesapeake Bay (in front) and on Jackson Creek (to the side). The Little House cottage has 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath, 1 half bath, a dining room a spacious living room, and a screened porch. Although there is a creek view from the back of the house, the cottage is not riverfront, but just a short walk down the driveway there is a private dock and access to the water in the dock area as well as the shore surrounding the larger house on the property. The property is semi-private, backing up to a small marina neighborhood. Because this is a very old home, there are some quirks. We consider these things to add to the house's charm, but things you, as a guest, should know nonetheless. Things to note: -The house's water supply is drawn from a well on the property. The water is fine for showering but has a strong iron content and a slight sulfur smell, making it (safe, but) unsuitable for drinking. The water also leaves iron marks on the tub, toilets, and sinks as well as tarnishing the metal fixtures. The house is fully cleaned before all guests arrive, but although they are clean, these fixtures may look stained. -There is no Wi-Fi or cable TV for the house. There is a coffee shop 1/2 mile away with Wi-Fi as well as the Middlesex County Library. -There is no washing machine, dryer, or dishwasher.
