I cant rave enough about the location. If you are a biology nerd you are going to love this place. Ive never seen so many butterflies and we caught catfish off of the dock. Also if you are a fossil hunter there are some great sites within driving distance. This is the first rental property my friends and I have visited twice.
John and Carrie where amazing and the cottage was exactly what we were looking for right on the water there was a boat launch around the corner so I could just dock my boat right at the pier at the cottage absolutely loved it!
The cottage is great and very clean. The view from the dock is just spectacular. John and Carrie were great hosts. Highly recommend this home. Hope to visit again.
My friend and I are biologists who geek out to wildlife, and there was no shortage of wildlife here. From insects to birds to reptiles we saw it all. We had a wonderful time!
We always love returning to this spectacular spot - so wild and still close to DC. Love the kayaking, the bird watching, the changing skies and loud frog chorus.
Such a cute little house and the most beautiful property. We saw deer, turkeys, butterflies and birds of all kinds. We watched the most beautiful sunsets every evening. Plus we were close to DC to see all history.
Spent a long weekend celebrating our daughter who turned 21 on the 4th of July. The Potomac was awwsome and the use of the kayaks greatly appreciated. The cottage was clean and spacious.
This was exactly what we were looking for. Relaxing and peaceful and we were still able to enjoy the sites around the area. Will need to come back when the weather is warmer to enjoy the water more.
The place was immaculately clean. John was great at answering any questions. Very easy drive to DC. We used the kayaks one afternoon to see the sunset and check out the wildlife. We had a great time.
Just so unexpected that this peaceful, quiet,beautiful, natural, and preserved environment could exist at the end of a small semi-rural community less than half an hour away from Washington DC. A hidden treasure for those who enjoy being near nature and also having comfortable and safe lodging. Exceptionally clean and well stocked with lots of hospitality.
This was our third stay at Fenwick Cottage. Even though is was short we were able to relax and unwind. We continue to enjoy identifying new flora and fauna on the property, and witnessing the seasonal changes. John and Carrie are wonderful hosts, we always have fun, animated conversations with them.
The 'Sequel Visit' was even better than our 'Original Visit'
This was our second stay at this outstanding property. We were in awe during our first stay. Our second visit provided even more opportunity to discover hidden gems throughout this spectacular location. We love the outdoors of this property. We love the cozy cottage AND we appreciate the approachable, friendly demeanor of the superior hosts. We highly recommend this rental!!!!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!
Over the last dozen years we have stayed at John and Carrie's beautiful cottage and grounds several times. There is no place we look forward to going more than here. Our stays have also developed into life long friendships with this wonderful couple. From the proximity to our nation's capital to simply staying on the grounds for the simple getaway from everyday life, the little cottage at the corner of Pomonkey Creek and the Potomac River is the perfect spot for us!
Secluded, well maintained home surrounded by nature, tidal marshes, and the Potomac River offering endless wildlife viewing opportunities. We canoed and kayaked to a new spot every day. Property is just as gorgeous as in the pictures. Amazing biodiversity of plants, birds, animals, butterflies and more! Our second visit was even better than our first. Super hosts make sure you have all you need to enjoy the great outdoors.
