Bed and Breakfast Inn,
Vacation and Retreat Lodging
on Virginia's Southern Chesapeake Bay

An avenue of towering red maples serves as your welcoming committee to North River, an historic Virginia bed-and-breakfast and vacation retreat. Standing tall and stately, these silent sentinels guide you up the lane to the place you'll call home during your stay.

Surrounded on three sides by salt water, North River spreads luxuriously across one-hundred acres of Virginia countryside in the historic Tidewater region off the lower Chesapeake Bay. Out here, where the land meets the water and the present meets the past, you'll have a rare glimpse of life as it once was in rural Virginia . . . unhurried, gracious, and breathtakingly beautiful.

Established as the 17th century estate of sea captain Thomas Todd, these broad fields stretching down to the tidal river have been farmed for more than 350 years, and have earned the designation Centennial Farm by the Virginia Department of Agriculture. Toddsbury, the original home on the property, is a National Register and Virginia Historic Landmark house, which today serves as the private home of the Montague family who own and operate North River.

North River is the evolution of the North River Inn, which has garnered a following with travelers from both home and abroad, and received national praise, in its more than thirteen years in operation
