49mi from Tappahannock · 7 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

We are a Nature Retreat bordering Nature Conservancy land along a tributary and up and down the Rappahannock River. You can hike along the stream down to the river and up and down the river. You can fish and float the river. There are no trails so a moderate level of fitness and comfort in the forest is needed. You can follow the water ways but it is wilderness. Camping there is primitive but available or you can camp or glamp at Earthwalk Ways Retreat. We are also adjacent to a 50 acre farm on the other side of the creek that is available for hiking. There is a reservoir nearby as well. We are in the midst of the suburbs not far from Fredericksburg, which has some great historic and community places of interest. Our facilities are private and we only rent to one or 2 guests at a time. You can glamp in a trailer, or car camp in a nice campground with power and water or you can go primitive and pack in. All spaces include access to our classical 11 circuit labyrinth and backyard gardens where you can enjoy zen rock garden and other contemplative nature crafts. There are some great extra's here as well including an outdoor jacuzzi and indoor infrared sauna and massage chair. These spa features are another great way to get your zen on here. I offer Forest Bathing and individual retreat support sessions, an quarterly sweat lodge and also vision quest support if people would like to experience a solo nature immersion feast.

All hail William Smallwood. Not only did he serve in the Revolutionary War, but he left behind the ideal escape from beltway chaos. Just 40 minutes outside DC, Smallwood State Park is a 628 acre paradise with a marina, boat launching ramps, a picnic area, camping area, pavilions, a recycled tire playground and nature trails. The park is on the Mattawoman Creek, less than a mile from the Potomac River, but if you’re ready to swim, errrr, boat/fish with the big fish, the Potomac River is just a mile away. Feeling reflective? Go way back to the 18th century with tours of Smallwood’s Retreat House, open on the first and third Sundays, May through September.

It was a very good experience for our first hip camp experience. The bed was super comfortable. The temperature control air circulation in the cabin was great. The bathroom and showers were really clean and nice.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Woodford Cabin/Tenting

Very cute tiny home on a secluded home. There is no running water or bathroom so you need to bring supplies, but it was perfect for what I needed. I like that it was screened in and I had no issue with any bugs. The owners property is in front of the tiny home but the property is very peaceful.

Serenity and a calm, caring host who made sure we were comfortable. 2 real beds (a loft and a twin), a convertible couch, a fully reclining leather EZ chair, and extra bedding made sleeping comfy for 4. Cabin had heat and a/c. Awesome hot shower, outdoor sink, picnic table, tree swing, outdoor chairs, fire pit, fridge, grill, groceries in driving distance. Recommend for a refreshing retreat! ✌️
