Stay in a tiny house with a big personality. This adorable rural cottage in Accomac, Virginia is nestled between peaceful farm fields, woods, salt marsh and a creek. Beautifully appointed with comfort, design, and efficiency in mind, its central location makes exploring the Eastern Shore a breeze. Walk to a public dock for a boat ride to the ocean, or drive to four other beaches. Restaurants are nearby.

This adorable tiny house is a rural oasis and a wonderful retreat on its own or as a base camp for exploring the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The cottage is 225 square feet and sleeps three, yet feels larger due to a cathedral ceiling, spacious full bath, and plenty of natural light. Say goodbye to noise, traffic, and light pollution, and drink in wide open spaces and a big starry sky. There is a main house on the property where the owner lives with her family.

amenities

Pack your days or do nothing at all.

Grab a drink, sit a spell, and soak in the lovely marsh and creek view behind the main house. Watch the birds fly around, enjoy the fire pit, and relax in the hammock. The outdoor shower behind the red house is heavenly. The main house, canoe, and kayak are off-limits.

Guest Interaction

As much as needed. I am a guide on the side. I will stay out of your way but am available for anything you may need. I can recommend restaurants, things to do, or hook you up with personal guides or boat rides for a sunset cruise, fishing or a day trip to the beach. A printed guide is also provided for my favorite local spots.

Privacy

Your host lives in the main house on the property with her family. I try to greet guests on arrival but sometimes guests arrive at a late hour (which is fine) or I am driving kids around to activities. I’m happy to chat if you are in the mood or leave you to your peace and quiet. We have a Jack Russell Terrier who will want to say hello. He is very friendly and we love him dearly.

Provisions

Kitchen items are provided such as dishes, cups, silverware, cutting boards, pots/pans, dish soap, utensils, grilling tools, and the like. I also provide a few basic condiments such as salt/pepper, coffee with cream/sugar. If you are unsure about what to pack, drop a line with any questions. You will need to bring your own food and beach supplies.
