Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Mathews County

I have stayed here four times now. It is an amazing place. It’s quiet, peaceful, and the views are breathtaking. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place to relax, unwind, and disconnect for a few days.

This home is absolutely beautiful. I loved being able to wake up early and watch the sun rise over the Chesapeake bay. Even though it was cold the kids enjoyed splashing in the water with their rain boots. We spent the Wednesday before Thanksgiving at colonial Williamsburg. Afterwards we ate at Captain George’s, a place Tas recommended. It was absolutely worth it. I was also pleased with being able to make a good Thanksgiving meal. The stay was relaxing and peaceful. We would love to come back in the near future.

Beautiful and peaceful location. The house had wonderful accommodations for all 5 of us. Itwas such a nice retreat after a busy holiday. We would definitely stay again!

Stayed here for a weekend fishing trip. Everything was great! Very serene and beautiful surroundings, the house fully equipped with everything you need to go fishing. We even went out of our comfort zone and tried out the canoes. It was an all-around good experience. The location is not too far from beaches great restaurants, and also a casino. For a small intimate family gathering. The Host sent an extensive and well thought out list of everything you can think of, from to how to get there & what to do when you’re there also he was very responsive.

This beautifully decorated cottage was everything we had hoped for. It was so peaceful and offered so much fun for our family.

We had the best time! The home was even better than described. We loved having the beach so close, with everything we needed (chairs, toys, kayaks, etc). The house was so comfortable and we enjoyed making several large meals in the stocked kitchen. So private and peaceful. We’ll definitely be back!

Very clean and beautiful place! Definitely secluded and quiet environment, so perfect for a get away weekend. Had a little trouble initially unlocking the door, but Elenny was very quick to answer and helpful!

Had a great long weekend at Tracy’s place. The location was amazing. We enjoyed walking along the beach and would have taken out the kayaks if the water wasn’t so choppy. The place has everything you could possibly want for a beach vacation and the kitchen was well supplied for cooking. We were kept inside by the weather most of the time but the house had plenty of games and the hot tub was covered so we could still utilize that. Tracy was also quick to respond if I had a question. Overall a great experience and would return!

This apartment is very comfortable, clean and private. It is attached to the main house by a breezeway but the entrance is on the side so very private. You have access to the entire yard which is beautifully maintained with flowers and many bushes trees and plants. We enjoyed the deck a lot and although the house isn’t on the water you still have a nice view of the water. TV is super host and very friendly and easy to talk to. He gave us extra treats that we enjoyed and appreciated. Thank you! And we would definitely love to come back next time we are able to get away.

We stopped here to break up a very long drive so we only stayed one night but Jacqueline was very friendly and accommodating. We were pretty delayed on our drive but she made sure we got into our room ok and introduced us to her dogs. We didn’t get a chance to explore but the property looked beautiful and peaceful. Definitely a great place if you love dogs. Our little daughter LOVED them, but my wife tends to be a bit more apprehensive. Overall, very nice rooms and quite spacious. A good place for a longer stay.

This was our third stay at Clifton, so we and our 2 dogs obviously like staying there. The location is perfect for getting around Matthews as we continue to explore that part of the region. Very nice stay and we look forward to coming back. Bart and Sharon Cameron November 2024

Frank was a great host! We hit traffic and got in super late, and he was very accommodating! We hope to head back in the future when we can actually get to stay longer and enjoy some wine!

My stay at Rebecca's was peaceful quiet and very beautiful. Rebecca's Place was very clean and very accommodating from my visit.

Salty Sisters is a wonderful place to stay! The views are lovely and the skylight in the kitchen is awesome giving lots of natural light in the space. I worked here for 2 days during a snow storm and all was quiet and beautiful. The studio is large and has everything you need for you and your fury friends, including a private fenced backyard. Rebecca was proactive and responsive and allowed me to check in early due to the arriving storm system. I loved being here in the snow and overlooking the snowy bay. Also, the studio has gone through a bit of a renovation since the photos were taken and looks even better. This is a great place and I will definitely return and recommend.

the cabin is a perfect place for someone looking for a quiet night or two and doesn't require too many amenities.

We recently stayed at this charming home nestled in the woods, and it was an unforgettable experience! The property features a serene pond and a delightful rowboat. The farm is home to goats, chickens, ducks, and the most incredible dog, Buddy, who quickly became our favorite part of the stay. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from arrival. The farm itself is lovely, with many trails and hidden nooks to explore. The area is incredibly peaceful, except for the rooster who likes to greet the morning with his crowing – a charming touch that added to the rustic feel. The home is indeed small, and we were at max capacity with two adults and a child. It was good that we left our dogs at home, as there wouldn't have been enough space for them. The house's interior is beautifully decorated, comfortable, yet simple, providing everything we needed for a cozy stay. Overall, this home is a perfect getaway to unwind & enjoy nature.

...I didn't know what to expect, as one never does. Cheryl provides way more than any hotel in the region. I have been comfortable from the moment that I arrived. Every little discovery of the amenities is actually joyous. She is very attentive to the subtleties of hosting! The cottage views the water and the treeline...so peaceful, and the wildlife is rare and amazing, you never know what you are going to see. I will stay here again based off my first experience. Thank you Cheryl for sharing this wonderful place.

This cabin was the perfect getaway for my family. The waterfront location is absolutely stunning, and my sons had a fantastic time playing in the water. The cabin is exceptionally well-equipped, providing everything we could possibly need. It's a true escape from civilization, offering a profound sense of peace and tranquility. We're grateful to Justin for sharing his beautiful cabin with us. We're already looking forward to returning in the near future!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Second time staying at Camp Cottontail. Katie and Ryan are amazing hosts that are extremely accommodating and responsive to any issues or concerns. We were able to enjoy amenities such as the fire pit, grill, and kayaks during our stay. Surroundings were so peaceful and saw lots of wildlife in and out of the water. Our pup enjoyed the stay as well! Highly recommend a visit to Camp Cottontail! You will not be disappointed!
