The Mattaponi is wonderful for tubing, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing and swimming. Feel free to bring all of your toys or borrow some of ours (we provide two kayaks and some other water toys, as well as some life jackets and plenty of beach towels). If you have a boat or a jetski to bring, please inquire about making arrangements to store and drop in. Our dock has plenty of space and seating for everyone to hang out and enjoy the water, including an upper level with a four seater polywood high top table and a picnic table on the lower level. At low tide, there is a narrow beach from which you can access the water; at high tide, go down the steps or jump right in! The river is a perfect backdrop for your annual family photos! For land-based fun, explore the grounds and woods, including the onsite playground/swingset for the littles and the small pond next to the house where the kids can spot frogs. We offer a gas grill, a BLACKSTONE grill (brunch anyone?) and two picnic tables for the entire group to enjoy dining with the beautiful river as a backdrop. The driveway in front of the house is a large circular loop, perfect for kids to scooter or bike. The home also offers a basketball hoop and plenty of other outdoor games for your enjoyment - cornhole, giant Jenga, ping pong, etc. - ask for our current inventory or bring your own favorite toys! The garage provides storage for bikes/toys as well as extra room for food and drinks in the second fridge. Firepit also provided for gathering in the evenings and roasting marshmallows!
