Spend your Chesapeake Bay Vacation at our historic Virginia inn

The accommodations at North River are housed in two distinctive, historic homes, each in its own setting on this one-hundred acre estate. Our historic Virginia retreat includes Creek House and Toddsbury Cottage. Additionally, the free-standing, two-story dependency, Toddsbury Guest House, which sleeps two people, may be added to either a Creek House or Cottage rental. All are on the water, at the ends of private lanes, with exquisite views and river access. Every room has its own ambiance and appeal, with luxurious linens and appointments, exquisite 18th and 19th century family antiques, private baths, air conditioning, and telephones. North River provides everything you need for your Chesapeake Bay vacation, family reunion, workshop or retreat. Create one of your favorite Virginia getaways now!

Families Welcome

At North River we welcome families. Come enjoy a retreat with your children, with activities that recall an earlier time: fishing, crabbing, canoeing, walking, reading books and playing games. Daylong excursions to America’s “Historic Triangle” of Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, the historic Northern Neck or the family fun centers of Busch Gardens and Water Country USA are all easily accomplished from North River. At the end of the day, come back to luxury and quiet, in the privacy of your own quarters or stop for a swim at our waterside association pool.
