ADORABLE COTTAGE IN THE HEART OF HISTORIC IRVINGTON!

Leave all your troubles behind and unwind at this adorable single level 2 bedroom 2 bath bungalow in the heart of historic Irvington. Situated on a beautifully landscaped half acre corner piece of property, Key Cottage, ca. 1918, provides the perfect setting for a romantic getaway, family reunion, holiday retreat, wedding accommodations, and spillover for houseguests.

It is the perfect spot to relax after a day of golfing, fishing, sailing, waterskiing, antiquing, and boutiquing. Key Cottage is centrally located and walkable to everything the charming village of Irvington has to offer.

Feel like starting your day with a morning coffee walk? No worries! Head down to The Local and enjoy a croissant and coffee at their outdoor cafe!

Want to go out for dinner but don't feel like getting in the car? No problem! Walk to The Tides Inn, Hope and Glory, The Office or Dredge, f/k/a Trick Dog Bar and Bistro.

Feel like eating in? No sweat! In nearby White Stone, there is a gourmet shop called The River Market, affectionately known as "Jimmy's", where you can pick up a couple of mouthwatering steaks, and pop them on our hardwired Weber gas grill, and dine al fresco on our screened in porch, complete with ceiling fan and all accoutrements.

Feel like seafood? Merroir (Rappahannock Oyster Company), just across the Rappahannock River, is famous for its oysters and offers delightful outdoor riverside dining. It is open for lunch and dinner. It and Willaby's, in White Stone, also open for lunch and dinner, offers some of the finest views of the Rivah!

Feel like enjoying a cocktail in Irvington before dinner? The bar at the Chesapeake Club at The Tides Inn, Dredge, and Vine, are all within a healthy walking distance of Key Cottage.

There are three supermarkets 4 miles away in the "big city" of Kilmarnock, along with other shops and restaurants, including Specials Wine Seller, where the knowledgeable and friendly proprietor, Amy will pair her fine wines with what you’re planning to have for dinner. She also offers fun and informative wine tastings every Friday evening! There are also art galleries and museums, including the very popular Fishermen's Museum in Reedville. But don't forget to check out our own museum, The Steamboat Era Museum in the heart of Irvington on King Carter Drive. Our little museum has received big praise for its state of the art exhibitions offering a glimpse of days gone by, when folks traveled here by steamboat, and disembarked on nearby Steamboat Road.

Then there is the top rated Irvington Farmer's Market on the Village Green on the first Saturday of the month from May - November. There you will find everything from flowers to furniture!

Feel like some retail therapy, shop til you drop at The Dandelion, Objects, Fore and Aft, and Jimmy and Sook.

We also boast a first rate winery called The Dog and Oyster Vineyard, where you can take a tour, or sample one of their many fine wines and oysters.

The Fourth of July is a special time in Irvington! The Hometown Parade starts just a block from Key Cottage and winds its way down to the Village Green where complimentary hot dogs and sodas are served by the good folks of Chesapeake Bank. The Green with its famous gazebo is also the backdrop for the world renowned United States Air Force Band concert featuring patriotic music and songs!

Both are across the field and a short stroll from the front porch of Key Cottage and offer superb views of Carters Creek and the Rappahannock River.

Its fully stocked and equipped kitchen is perfect for making Thanksgiving dinner. Its cozy dining room, with its hearth and table large enough to seat 6-8, is ideal for giving thanks and breaking bread together.

Christmas is also an idyllic time in this special village. Key Cottage offers perfect accommadations for folks who might have relatives who are residents of nearby Rappahannock Westminster- Canterbury, or whose hosts need some spillover room for their guests.

There is so much to do here! Or not do! It's up to you!

For a comfortable, convenient stay in Irvington, the Key Cottage has everything you could want! We enjoyed sitting in the front porch rockers as well as around the table on the back screened porch. Our dog appreciated his fenced in run where he could chase toys while off leash and loved watching the squirrels and birds sheltering in the fig trees right off the porch. The house feels much larger than it looks in the pictures. High ceilings and wide rooms made the cottage feel very spacious. Thank you Kinnet and Chris!

Darling little cottage. It is just a bit short of perfect. The 100+ year old house is looking sad and in need of upkeep and repairs. It's starting to look neglected With that said, we had a great time enjoying the area and quiet neighborhood. Overall we had a great experience.

It was a beautiful home that was perfect for us. We loved the location, as it was convenient to get to my mom's house in White Stone. I would definitely recommend staying there.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage - very authentic and charming. The master bedroom was huge with a large walk-in closet/changing room. The kitchen has just about everything you could need to cook a gourmet meal. We enjoyed the music collection, which we listened to over dinner one night while drinking the complimentary bottle of wine Kinnet left us. The location was peaceful, and we walked to the Tides Inn and town daily. Thank you for hosting us! We'd like to come back next summer.

Maybe the best setting in Irvington VA just a stones throw from the famous Tides Inn. A very comfortable setting with all of the creature comforts for an individual, groups of family time. The surrounding property is exquisite with maybe the greatest Fig tree I have ever seen. Can't wait to come back. Thank you Kinnett and Chris

Thanks to the owner. The house is lovely and notably quaint. The yard is sweet with flowers and a gardeners touch; nice for bunny sightings. Little dog run is what brought us back for a second booking over another option. Perfect for traveling with a small dog(s). It rained when we were there, little mud room very practical! Kitchen is well appointed. We enjoyed the front porch rockers while sipping wine, watching the rain. Very responsive owner. Check out simple, (not a 2 page list of to do’s). Worked great for our long weekend. Shop the Dandelion, coffee and breakfast or lunch at The Local, dinner at Salt & Meadow (Tides Inn). Nice stay. Terrestrial rain and all.
