About this property

Lake Front/Dock, HotTub, Woods, Kayaks/SUP, 3 Beaches, Fossils, Theater Room

Our 3 bedroom/2 full bath + loft home sits on a beautiful freshwater lake surrounded with trees in a neighborhood on the stunning Potomac River! Come enjoy the great amenities or simply do nothing at all! We have kayaks/boats/SUP & life jackets for your use, and crabbing supplies. The community has 3 beaches: a private sandy lake beach with swimming dock, a river-front sandy beach with 15-million-year-old+ shark teeth, and a fossil cliff beach. Daily bald eagle sightings! Seasonal hot tub (Sept-May) on our patio overlooking the lake! Huge screen theater room in the basement game room including ping pong and foosball. Indoor wood stove for cosy fall and winter nights and outdoor fire pit overlooking the lake.

This place is so special that we vacationed here for 2 days and then became homeowners within 6 months!

Our 3 bedroom plus loft home with 2 full baths have all been freshly updated, with a completely remodeled kitchen and main bath. The master bedroom has a queen bed and attached full bathroom. The second room has a queen bed, and the third room is our bunk room with two sets of bunk beds! In addition, we also have a sleeping loft that has 2 comfortable futon couches, bringing the total number of sleepers to 10! (Note: 5'8" overhead clearance in the loft, with steep stairs leading to it; kids love it!) We have a pack n play and a high chair if needed.

The house has its own private dock on the 110-acre clean freshwater lake. Plus our own floating dock! Swim or paddle to your heart's content. We have a canoe, double kayak, Stand up paddle board, single kayak, two kids' kayaks and a kids' paddle board for your use right off our dock! We also have many different sized life jackets. Paddle out and have a flotilla with your loved ones. The water is warm enough for swimming April through October, paddling year round.

A great getaway for the whole family! A campfire ring, tetherball, and hammocks outside. Foosball, games, and books inside. The TV has Roku for Netflix & Hulu and Disney+ and ESPN. Basement has theater room. Our dining room table can seat 10 plus seating at the bar! It is such a joy to sit with everyone together and enjoy a crab feast!

Sitting in the middle of the woods, our house is so quiet and peaceful. You can sit on the deck or dock with your drink and take it all in. Listen to the woodpeckers and the wind in the trees while watching bald eagles soar above you.

Great community amenities as well! Three beaches suitable for swimming or fossil hunting. There is a lake beach with a dock and floating dock for swimming and diving. Two beaches on the Potomac for fossil hunting, beach combing, sand castle building. One is sandy with picnic tables and another is a small hike down with lots of walking and large cliffs. You can hand line a the marina for crabs or we know the locals' numbers if you want to buy them already cooked and seasoned perfectly!

You have full access to the entire house, private dock, and lake. There is a small workroom in the basement that is locked.

The neighborhood common areas are only available to owners and guests. As a guest, you will have full access to the marina, and neighborhood beaches as long as you properly display your guest tag.

We live and work in Washington DC. We have an excellent local manager that if anything comes up we can have it taken care of ASAP.

We are in a rural area, and the nearest stores are at least 10-15 minutes away. Big box stores are even further (>30 mins away).

There is also poor reception for several national cellular carriers. However, we do have excellent, reliable internet.

Love at First Stay
Let’s start with the hosts… I’ve stayed at many rental properties over the years and the hosts are the most responsive and helpful that I’ve had yet. They’ll answer any questions and quickly address any unexpected situations very quickly in the best way. As for the property… WOW! The perfect getaway retreat with private community beaches, access directly to the lake for kayaking, and a home that comfortably housed a family of 9. The surrounding area is also gorgeous. Although we preferred to stay close to the serene house, We ventured into Colonial Beach for amazing food at the local Cantina and Eugene’s along the beautiful marina. Do not hesitate to stay here

2nd stay, still in love!
We stayed at the Golden Crane for the second year in a row. I loved it just as much this time. Our favorite part is all the water toys. We went with some friends and we had five kids with us from the ages 3 to 9. As before, there were life jackets that fit everyone, single and double person kayaks, a canoe, and stand-up paddle boards. Everyone had a blast on the lake. We enjoyed the dock and the lake beach. My kids loved finding shark teeth and whale bones at the close by shark tooth Beach. We also had a nice time at the brewery nearby. I love this house, the only downer to it is that it's not mine! We're now talking about getting a outdoor shower and hot tub at our house. It has everything we needed. I always feel right at home. I accidentally broke one of the hammocks and instead of being upset Rebecca immediately sent a new one. I also left an entire bag of shoes behind. We happened to have some friends vacationing the next weekend in Carolina Beach and Rebecca was driving back up from Montrose. She went probably 30 minutes out of her way to drop off the bag of shoe to my friend. She really goes above and beyond to be a wonderful hostess. We are sure to come back again next year! Thanks for sharing you home and being so sweet, Rebecca!

Great family spot!
We stayed at this property with our extended family- grandparents, cousins, siblings! We loved using the kayaks, going to Shark Tooth Beach, and having meals together at the big table. The ping pong table, foosball, and movie screen downstairs were great when we had downtime at home.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca B Hansen

Host profile image
We are a family of six living out our dreams in the Northern Neck of Virginia! We love how friendly everyone is and love all the wildlife! Our favorite thing to do is paddle out on the lake and have a flotilla!

Why they chose this property

We rented a house in the neighborhood and six months later we were home owners ourselves! Be careful renting here you just might buy a house by the end of the trip!

What makes this property unique

There is nothing like sitting on the deck or dock and watching bald eagles and osprey soar above or finding shark teeth on the beaches!
