Nestled along the gentle curves of Mattox Creek, River Refresh stands as a serene sanctuary, a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The house, adorned with a soft palette of earthy tones, seamlessly blends into the surrounding natural beauty, creating an atmosphere of peace and relaxation.

Features & Highlights

  • The exterior of the house exudes a rustic charm. A quaint screened-in porch wraps around the side of the house, offering a stunning view of the river. Upon stepping inside, you’re greeted by an interior that captures the essence of comfort and simplicity. Large windows allow the sunlight to filter in, illuminating the rooms with an inviting glow.
  • The living space features a cozy seating area adorned with soft cushions in soothing shades of aqua and grey. There is an over-sized table that comfortably seats 8 guests. The back side of the house is comprised of large sliding glass doors that frame a view of the river. The bedrooms are designed as tranquil havens, each offering an ambiance that soothes the soul. Each bedroom is equipped with a charging station compatible with Apple Products.
  • A cozy basement retreat awaits, offering both comfort and functionality. A pull-out bed, serving as a plush sofa by day, promises a restful night’s sleep. Across the room, there is a neatly organized workspace with a spacious desk and ample lighting. The basement is stocked with plenty of games, books and puzzles to entertain guests after a lazy day enjoying the river. A large smart TV is mounted on the wall for family movie time.
  • Outside, a rustic landscape unfolds, a seamless extension of the natural beauty that surrounds the house. Stone pathways wind around the house, leading to the back yard and a newly installed walkway down to the water. A pier juts out into the river, providing the perfect spot for fishing, launching kayaks, watching boats drift by, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the water. Step onto the screened-in porch, a magical space bathed in the soft glow of fairy lights by night. Comfortable furniture beckons you to sink into its cushions, offering the perfect spot to sip a tasty drink or indulge in a good book. Just outside of the screened-in porch is a gas grill on the side deck. Cooking utensils are in the kitchen for your convenience.
  • The outdoor firepit area is a delightful space designed for warmth, camaraderie, and enjoyment. Set beneath a starry night sky, the firepit takes center stage.
  • Don’t forget to pack your bathing suit so you can enjoy the 8 person hot tub by the river. Relax in warm bubbles while listening to nature’s soundtrack and soaking in the chill vibes of a peaceful riverside setting.
  • The garage houses a well-stocked games corner, encouraging friendly competition and shared moments of fun. From Jumbo Jenga to cornhole, there is entertainment for everyone.
  • In this tranquil river house, time seems to slow down, allowing you to reconnect with nature and find solace in its serene embrace. It’s a place where the worries of the world fade away, and the only thing that matters is the gentle rhythm of the river and the peaceful sanctuary that surrounds you.

The house was perfect for our weekend getaway!
The house was perfect for our weekend getaway! Everything looked exactly like the pictures. It was beautifully remodeled and decorated and they offered everything we needed to feel at home, from all the little appliances in the kitchen to hair dryers, shampoo, and conditioners in each bathroom. The kayaks, private pier with night lights, hot tub, and fire pit all created the perfect vibe for a milestone birthday celebration with the girls. We have to come back with our husbands and kids next time!

Great stay! The views on the river were amazing! Fishing on the dock is good, big catfish long rockfish and a good time to catch fish. The beach 15 minutes away was also very peaceful. Host was quick to respond to questions I had. The jacuzzi was also good, relax watch the views over the river!

We will definitely book this gem again for future getaways.
We recently stayed at this beautifully remodeled lake house in Colonial Beach, VA, and it was an exceptional experience. The home was immaculate, with a fully appointed kitchen that had everything we needed for our stay. The decks and covered porches offered stunning views of the lake, providing a serene and peaceful atmosphere that was perfect for relaxation. Despite some nearby construction, there wasn't even a distraction, allowing us to fully enjoy the tranquility of the location. The owner was incredibly responsive and made the booking process smooth and effortless. We will definitely book this gem again for future getaways. Highly recommend!

The house is gorgeous and exactly as described and pictured. It was clean and well appointed. There are several gathering places inside and outside. It was exactly what we were looking for- on the Rivah but not far from the DC area. I had some trouble figuring out the front door lock, but that was probably more user error than a fault with the house. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

We loved our stay!
We loved our stay! My husband and I came with our two young kids for a relaxing weekend away and that's just what we got. Inside there was plenty of space for our family of 4, cozy areas to relax + a beautiful kitchen to cook in. Outside we enjoyed sitting on the deck and relaxing in the hot tub! We would walk out on the dock with our morning coffee and my daughter and I even took a paddle in the kayaks! On Saturday we explored the beach at George Washington's birthplace to hunt for sharks teeth and then drove to Colonial Beach for dinner! Easy drives to everything! We'll be back for sure!

Nicola and Brian were wonderful hosts,and very quick to respond to any messages/questions. The house was perfect for our family, extremely clean, and very thoughtfully decorated. We loved the cordless phone chargers on every nightstand, and the Nespresso coffee maker (with pods) was a unique touch. The kitchen had plenty of good quality silverware, dishes, and cookware. The view of the river from the living room was lovely. Our teen boys especially loved the giant TV downstairs, which they hooked their PS5 up to. The swivel chairs in front of that TV were great for gaming. My family also loved the hot tub, which was right outside the basement family room. All of the bedrooms were a good size with nice bedding. We were not big fans of the very firm mattresses though, but we made do. Most things in town (restaurants, grocery, dollar store) were an easy 10-12 minute drive away. We would love to stay here again when the weather is warmer and we can enjoy more water related activities.

Beautiful and pristine house on the water. We had a wonderful stay at Nicola's Colonial Beach house - everything was super clean and organized; the kitchen had lots of dishes, utensils, pans, etc.; beds were comfortable; fabulous screened-in porch overlooking the water; a hot tub!; and, the hosts provided great local recommendations. Lots to do in the area. We'd highly recommend The Art of Coffee in Montross for breakfast or lunch, and Westmoreland State Park for hunting for shark teeth on the beach. This quiet spot had terrific views, we will definitely be back.

We had never been to Colonial Beach before, but wanted a quiet weekend away. The house was great (very high end finishes!) and loved all the outdoor space. The views and quiet were exactly what we hoped for. While our trip was short, we did venture around (most places to go are no more than 15 minutes away). We were able to check out a brewery, Ice House, that has indoor/outdoor seating and music on weekends AND good food! If you are looking for a nice, relaxing trip away this is the place. The house has everything you need to stay in and enjoy - games, books, TVs in every room, loved the phone/watch charging stations in the rooms! I will say my favorite place was the screened porch so you could be outside no matter the weather, bugs, etc. :) Thanks for a great stay! Would 100% recommend to anyone interested in visiting Colonial Beach!

The living room area is cozy and the kitchen is very well-equipped with more appliances than you would expect. The bedrooms are super comfortable. The screened in porch overlooking the river was our go-to spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails. The private dock allowed us to crab, fish and easily launch the two sea kayaks. The hosts were exceptional and made us feel right at home. They provided us with helpful information about local attractions and dining options. We can't say enough about River Refresh. It offered the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, and we left feeling rejuvenated and grateful for the experience. Book this property if you're looking for a tranquil getaway.
