About this cottage rental
This cottage rests on top of a bluff 60' above the Chowan River. The outdoor stairs take you to the private pier. The pier does not have power to it. Should you need to recharge your batteries while your boat is tied at the pier, we have plenty of extension cords - just ask for them. We understand this is amateurish, but it works, and we are far from being professional. If you would rather keep your boat on its trailer, it can be parked in the yard. We have room for 4 boats and trailers at the cottage, and if you get creative when you park, there's room for 2 more. There are 2 landings available to get your boat in the water. One is a short distance from the cottage, and there is a box to drop in a $5.00 fee on the honor system. The other is past the gas station in Harrellsville. That landing goes into the Wiccacon river which flows into the Chowan. It is free, and not far from the cottage.
The original cottage is about 65 years old. We gutted it several years ago and added a loft. THIS COTTAGE IS NOT FOR USE BY THOSE WITH DISABILITIES. THERE ARE 2 SETS OF STEEP STAIRS INSIDE, AND ANOTHER SET OUTSIDE TO GET YOU IN THE FRONT DOOR. MOST GUESTS USE THE BACK DOOR TO AVOID THE OUTDOOR STAIRS.
The cottage was not built to be fancy. It is utilitarian and furnished with odds and ends from our farm. There is a screened in back porch. The appliances were new when installed. The beds are new and we've been told, very comfortable. We have the internet and cable TV. There are 2 full bathrooms. There is a washer and dryer and dishwasher. We supply all linens, enough towels and wash cloths for 5 people for 5 days, as well as extra bedding for all beds. We supply all paper products and cleaning products. The kitchen has all you need to cook and clean up. You just need to bring your food and clothing with you.
There is an extra fee for pets.
Our cottage works well for hunters and fishermen. Our farm manager also sets up private hunts for bear, deer, and turkey in their seasons.
Our farm manager and his wife take care of cleaning and maintaining the place. They are not far away and will be available to you if there are problems with the cottage.

The place is very dated and more of a camp than a cottage. It’s ok for a couple guys on a fishing trip, but my wife wouldn’t stay here. Steps into and stairs inside are homemade, very steep and have no hand rails. Bare minimum repairs and upkeep have been made. The dock is very old and has no power, and is too far to run an extension cord, so you would need to take your boat out of water in the evenings to charge trolling motor batteries. Several boards have been replaced on dock, but several more are loose and several nails are sticking up, it’s pretty sketchy. Again, it was just OK for 2 guys there to fish for a few days, just don’t expect anything super nice or fancy. There is a boat landing within walking distance that has about 12 parking spaces. There is plenty of parking at the place for a couple boat trailers. I would stay here again for a fishing trip, but only if I couldn’t find anything else.
