Location: Virginia < USA
The Chilton Summer House is located on the Northern Neck of Virginia, one of the Mid-Atlantic's best kept secrets. Only 2 1/2 hours from Washington, DC and 1 1/2 hours from Richmond or Fredericksburg, it is an easily accessible stress-free drive and a perfect location for a family vacation or romantic getaway. Fish, swim, or go boating from the dock. Discover the golf courses and shops in Irvington, or the birthplace of Robert E. Lee in Stratford. Or travel by boat to Urbanna, directly across the river. Belle Isle State Park is just minutes away, where you can walk the trails, rent a bike, canoe, kayak or motorboat. Public boat landings are nearby on both the Rappahannock and the Corrotoman Rivers. While there is plenty of recreation and activity right on the property and in the immediate area, Williamsburg and Washington DC are easy day trips. Don't forget to leave time to relax, glide the water in a kayak or float, watch the wildlife, nap in the hammock and enjoy the sunset!
