The cottage has central air conditioning and heat plus ceiling fans in every room.

Very disappointed!
The house number was difficult to locate in the dark, very hard to find. No lights were on, and the outside entrance light did not work. The temperature inside the house was 63 degrees when we arrived. The heat pump only got the temperature up to 68 degrees during the two days we were there! The house was not very clean. Cobwebs everywhere. Instructions for the WIFI were unclear! There was no TV in the unit. Dead bugs were found on the floors and in the kitchen. There was no major lighting over the dining room table and even with all the lights on the house was quite dark! To get some of the lights to work one had to use extension cords. With the strong wind our first night one could feel the cold air coming right through the walls of the house! It certainly was not what we were expecting and not what was described in the description of the property!!

Quick two night getaway from NOVA and teaching. Cottage beautifully situated on Hull Creek and the Potomac River. Beautiful view from the porch. Spent the day looking listening to the water while reading on the porch. Tropical storm Ophelia couldn't even dampen our spirits, the porch allowed us to be safe but also soak up the natural be

Felt like a trip back in time
We had a blast, my kids loved the doll house! And we're comfortable sleeping. We all enjoyed the small beach. The tide was higher though and there were a lot of jellyfish so we couldn't really play as much in the water as we had hoped, esp bc it was so hot during our stay. We didn't use the property to it's full capacity (only went canoeing once) It's a bit of a drive to restaurants so plan your food accordingly, but otherwise, no complaints. It felt a lot like the cabins we stayed in on the great lakes as kids!

Fantastic location
This is the second time we stay in this property and we always leave wanting to come back. The location is perfect, with great views of the creek and river. Water is just a few steps away. The small sandbanks make this place perfect for kids/teens who like exploring. The equipment provided (kayaks, boards) where all we needed to enjoy the river. Highly recommended to families and nature lovers.

We'll be back!
We had a wonderful stay at Robert's cottage. The cottage is cozy and comfortable, equipped with everything we needed. The view from the house is wonderful, and the little beach area was perfect for our children to splash in the water. We spent a lot of time reading in the hammock and sitting on the screen porch. My birding husband saw nearly 30 species of birds just around the house. We love visiting the area and frequent Hughlett Point Nature Preserve, which is about 25 minutes from Robert's cottage. We look forward to coming back to Robert's cottage in the future.
