Every Motherâs Day our extended family leaves town to explore a new part of Virginia for the weekend. Our stay in Bohannon could change all that. We want to go back! This is a lovely and spacious home with a million thoughtful touches. The property itself is spectacular and our gang enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boat and fire pit. We rate this as our top Motherâs Day getaway so far and weâve been doing this for six years! Highly recommend!
Little did we know that our plans would have to be modified due to a Hurricane! We contacted the gracious host and they scrambled to get the house ready in advance!! After we had rebooked our flights, due to Hurricane Milton, we arrived in the middle of the night one day early!! The hosts did everything in their power to seamlessly let us settle in. (including morning bagels and coffee)
As we were travelling with two babies, they even let our local family members in early, to set up an additional crib ahead of our nocturnal arrival. The home was well (incredibly really) stocked with everything you could need for a fabulous week. The home is historic and incredibly maintained. Everything is spic and span clean and easy to navigate. The house is kid-friendly and I would say the child swing/playground was my personal favorite place to be with my grandbabies.
The property was just gorgeous. Each morning we enjoyed the beautiful sunrises over the river while sipping coffee on the wrap-around porch. So serene! Butterflies, hummingbirds, Osprey and other wildlife can be found on every inch of the property. The town is quaint and the people in this area are very welcoming. We were really fortunate to be close to other family members, staying close by- and the wedding venue. I can not say enough about the hospitality shown to all of us. Now that we have new-family right down the street, we will be going back!!
We were a group of ten older adults who travel together. We have stayed in many vacation rentals and Mariner's Legacy was one of the best, if not the best, places we have ever rented. The house was inviting and cozy. The kitchen was well appointed. The porch was incredible. We especially liked watching the sun come up. We highly recommend this beautiful home. Thank you for sharing it with us.
We had a great time relaxing next to the water, kayaking, fishing and overall having a fabulous time. There is plenty of space for activities outside as well as enjoying a movie at night inside. Thanks again for a wonderful trip!
Such a beautiful property! The pictures do not do the actual house justice.
The common rooms are large allowing your group/family to share time together, or find quiet time. The bedrooms are on the small side, but you won't spend any time there but to sleep. The beds are super comfortable, however, one person on each queen felt like they were falling out of the bed. I think the sides are just soft. But again, the bed and sheets were very comfortable. If you are used to a king bed, you may need to sleep in the singles like we did.
The kitchen is 100% stocked with everything you will need. We brought a lot and wish we had not overpacked. If you do need something there is a very nice Food Lion within 15 minutes in a very cute town, Matthew's. Also, the pizza at the Salty Dog Pizza in Matthew's is amazing! Highly recommend!!
There are games, and towels available (We brought games and they had the same games. and we didn't need to bring towels!) The air conditioning is split between levels, we were all very comfortable sleeping at night.
There are bikes and kayaks as mentioned. But the bikes are old and rusty, The kayaks are difficult to adjust for a proper fit, however, for most people that will not be an issue. I would recommend bringing your own bike if you plan on going on bike rides. The listing also mentions a pier, but it is not on the property, and you have to drive to it. We were hoping to fish and crab from the pier but did not due to the inconvenience.
The house is everything you could want! Very clean and impeccably kept. The owner is on the same property, so they keep the lawn and property beautiful. It was a very hot and humid week, but the AC kept the house very comfortable. The wrap around porch is absolutely spectacular. The dining room table was perfect for both meals and family games in the evening. About the only thing that would make this place any better would be a dock right at the property to fish, crab and tie your boat to. The house is absolutely a 10!!!!
If you want a hastle free vacation then this is it! The views couldn't be better. Playground and sandy beach for kids to play. Plenty of relaxing seating in the house and the 3 sided wrap around porch. Everything is just as described. Bring your food and enjoy
We just spent a week at this beautiful home with our adult children. It was amazing time celebrated my wifeâs 60th birthday and we had a baby reveal with the newest member of our family Little baby Jayde will arrive sometime in November overall very relaxing. The accommodations were perfect. Couldnât ask for anything better. The owners were very helpful and friendly. Thanks for a wonderful time.
We had a wonderful family vacation at Marinerâs Legacy. Everything was even better than described! The house was extremely clean and well equipped. The beautiful river view can be enjoyed from the wrap around porch and almost every room in the house. We enjoyed the river with the many kayaks and peddle boat provided. Hosts are exemplary. We definitely recommend and hope to return for another stay!
This was a very clean house that had plenty of space and things to do. The hosts were thoughtful in their decorations and overall supplies in this beautiful home. We had a great time and are very thankful that we chose this property.
Perfect for us, five children under ten could run around with minimum supervision, allowing the parents to reconnect. Interaction with landlord was excellent, accommodations were excellent, really didn't need to bring anything but food.
Mariner's Legacy was even more than we expected. The house is amazing. We brought a john boat and went crabbing, boat riding and fishing. We enjoyed sitting on the beach and floating in the river. Danette and Rick were so friendly, attentive to our needs and questions, and full of fascinating history they gladly shared with us. Will definitely be going back!
4 of us from Rochester, NY met 2 of us from Orlando, FL here at this lovely farmhouse. Once again we enjoyed the wrap around porch for coffee, kayaking off the beach, letting the dogs run, cooking for all of us plus 2 local guests a few times. The fire pit is a treasure. Beautiful fall scenery, visiting the nearby historic sites. Charming hosts, relaxing, fun and a wonderful time at this fully equipped home.
This was an excellent stay for our entire family and friends. It was very relaxing and had plenty of room for all of our needs. I highly recommend this VRBO and Danette was a wonderful host. We want to come back just to enjoy a relaxing time in the future.
Truly one of the best vacations I have had. Meeting with friends is always fun but the house made it even more spectacular. I cannot say enough good things about it and the owners are just wonderful.
Definitely will book this house again
Our time at Mariners' Legacy could not have been better. Lovely water setting, kayaks, sandy beach. Lawn games, well equipped kitchen. Our group of siblings and spouses were delighted. Thank you so much. Great host and hostess!
Our stay was everything we wanted it to be - relaxing and fun. It felt like the river was ours and ours alone- quiet. Our family loved the river- swimming, fishing, kayaking, having meals together, we had a seafood boil 2 times with fresh crabs right out of the water-deliciously fresh. The house was cozy, comfortable, clean and very well stocked and organized. Wonderful vacation!
All rooms were clean and well stocked with linens. From age 5 to 78, everyone truly enjoyed the beach, water and front porch. Kiddos caught crabs in the crab traps and played in water til they were exhausted. Private yet still only 20 minutes from restaurants and markets. We were 10 souls total and there was still a room empty, enough space so youâre not tripping over each other. Owners have done a great job in preserving this beautiful home. Get up every morning to watch the sunrise from your covered porch! Plenty of places to sit and relax by beach or on the porch. Thank you for a great week!
