Camp Rappahannock - Deltaville Waterfront Living | House in Deltaville
5 Bedroom House in Deltaville
Feel your troubles melt away as you drive down the quarter mile lane to your secluded water-front farm house. The house is perched on a private knoll overlooking approximately 100 yards of waterfront on Sturgeon Creek in Deltaville. BYOB—bring your own boats-- to tie to your private dock, with depth at low tide of approximately 3’. Canoe, kayaks, bicycles, and fishing tackle/crab pots are available for loan. Savor sunset cocktails on your large water-front screened porch, or down on the waterfront.
The space
Back in the early 1920s, a fishing captain named Stuart Daniels had a banner year fishing the Chesapeake Bay. His catch that year was so bountiful that he was able to purchase a 15 acre property on Sturgeon Creek in Deltaville, where he built a handsome 3 story American Foursquare house for his wife and children. The Daniels family kept this property until 1958, when the property was purchased by our father who was a football coach by profession. He opened a Summer Camp on the property, known as Camp Rappahannock, in 1960.
By 1965, this coach had married, and had three children. The camp became more than this young family could manage. With that, Camp Rappahannock became our private family summer retreat where we returned every summer to unwind. The property still remains in our family today, and we are happy to share this private waterfront vacation destination with you and your family.
If you enjoy the salt life, but prefer to escape the crowds at the beach, this is the place for you! Catch dinner-- fish and crab off the end of your own pier. There are an abundance of fish and crabs accessible right from the dock. Many different fish species can be caught here. Spot, Croaker, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Stiff-back Perch, Bluefish, Red Drum and Striped Bass are all available at different times throughout the year. We have found that seafood tastes even better when you catch and cook it yourself!

Other things to note
This is a rustic, country house, so there are a few things to note before your stay: the house has two full bathrooms, so we recommend spacing out showers throughout the day. To reduce stress on the septic system, we ask that guests limit the length of their showers to 10 minutes. We do have a Ranai tankless water heater so there is always hot water available. We do ask that guests avoid showering when the dishwasher and/or washing machine are in use. Like most houses in rural Virginia, all water in the house comes from a well. Although perfectly adequate for cooking and brushing teeth, well water has a distinctive flavor. We recommend bringing a few jugs of water for drinking.
