Other Things to Note:
While we have added modern amenities, Rosegill is still a very old house and requires tender loving care. Please be prepared to treat the property with great respect.
Rosegill is a working agricultural farm (corn, wheat, soy), and thus you may see or hear farm machinery and crop dusting planes. Some farm work may take place early in the morning and involve noise. Please do not touch any farm equipment you see on the property.
All three fireplaces are either non-functioning or defective, and may not be used at any time.
The property has security cameras covering the driveways, parking areas, pool, grounds and exterior of the home. There are no interior cameras.
Specific Cliff Danger Warning – There is a grassy lawn extension from the Rosegill Main House to the Rappahannock River shoreline. It’s very natural and inviting to walk toward the River to get as close as possible. Please don’t get too close, it drops off with a 30’ high cliff down to the beach all along the riverfront. It is very steep and unstable. Winter storms erode the cliff and parts collapse from time to time. Unsupervised children should not go anywhere near the top of the cliff. Extra care must be taken there and with small children.
The Main House is not the only home at Rosegill. The East Cottage, 85' East of the Main House, is occupied by the property caretakers Megan and Riki (who are available to help you if needed and whose contact information is shared upon booking). We ask all residents and guests to give privacy to those in the other houses.
The barns and other outbuildings are not included in the rental. You are welcome to walk over to those buildings and look around the outside but please do not go inside and please do not touch any farm equipment.
The swimming pool is open May 15 – September 15. It is unheated. Use of the pool is reserved exclusively for those in the Main House during rentals.
To finalize bookings, we require execution of a Rental Agreement with house rules, which will be sent upon booking.

Heads up! Jellyfish have been spotted around the docks at this time of year, so please use extra caution when swimming or wading in the water. We also recommend wearing water shoes for added protection. Stay safe and enjoy the water!

Summary: We spent the week at Rosegill with 3 generations and it was one of the most unique, memorable properties we have ever stayed at. We loved the little town of Urbanna and learned so much history around the area. Thank you for the memories!

Summary: WOW! Rosegill surpassed our expectations. Such a beautiful home with gorgeous grounds that have been well cared for. The history of the grand home was fascinating. We enjoyed walking to the secluded beach, kayaking in the accessible lower lake and canyoning on the lovely upper lake, where we encountered turkeys, deer, osprey and bald eagles! We were able to enjoy the refreshing pool a couple days and that was such a treat! The home was very well stocked and comfortable which made our vacation all the more wonderful. The owners have an attention to detail which made the stay very relaxing. Rosegill provided a launching point for our colonial adventures, but also a retreat at the end of a busy day of sightseeing. Really, the best of both worlds. Our communication with the owner and innkeeper was always pleasant and they were very helpful with our questions. We cannot recommend this property highly enough! We look forward to visiting again!

Summary: We stayed at Rosegill with extended family for Thanksgiving, it was more perfect than we could have imagined. Beautiful house with a great cozy feel, even though a large house. Grounds are amazing and they were so good about helping us with anything and everything. Highly recommend a stop by Urbanna Trading while there - great wine and gourmet goods.

Summary: I’ve driven by Rosegill almost all of my life, was born in Urbanna, but never set foot on the property until our vacation. You feel like you’ve stepped back in time with the history and beauty of the home. There were 8 of us so the beautiful dining room table was perfect! Excellent updates in the kitchen with all the amenities you’ll need. We spent the evening by the bonfire, roamed and explored as much of the property as possible and slept peacefully every night. As my family said during our goodbyes, this was the “best property and best family vacation ever”! Thank you again!

Summary: We got married in nearby Wake, VA and Rosegill was the perfect location for out of town family to come and stay for the weekend. It was gorgeous and I wish I could have stayed longer and enjoyed the space more.

Summary: Magnificent home!!! Acres of privacy as well as amazing & beautiful places to hangout inside & outside. Three minute walk to dock/creek. Kids spent endless hours of fun each day crabbing, fishing, swimming, kayaking & exploring - crabs 🦀 every night for dinner. Family gathered on the amazing sun porch in awe of the surrounding beauty, the wildlife and the Rapahonnick River - enjoyed all our meals on porch as well - Super!! Best was no real interest in technical devices - a family of 10 (adults & children) Truly memorable!! Look forward to a return in the future - kept everyone entertained! Can’t say enough good things - hardly ever left the property. Red Bank NJ Family

Summary: Our three generation family had a great stay at Rosegill. The historic property is beautiful and you are immediately struck by the huge scale of the property and house. Our communication with the innkeeper and property owner was impressive. We rented both a golf cart and a boat during our visit which I highly recommend. The fishing at the upper lake was fantastic. The house was well provisioned and local restaurants were convenient and our meals were great. Make sure to get some local seafood during your stay. Our family spent a lot of time at the swimming pool which was clean and convenient to the house.

Summary: We had a great trip to Rosegill for the long July 4, 2023 weekend. We even had the pleasure of meeting owners Strother and Evie who are welcoming and gracious. The property managers Megan and Rikki could not have been more helpful or responsive. Before we arrived, Megan and Rikki helped us arrange for deliveries of wine, a golf cart, and flowers. Any time we reached out, they were available. Rosegill is not only historic, but clean and spacious. Our guests all commented that they didn't expect a historic house to be so comfortable--but we were all amazed at just how comfortable the house is. And the house has amazing AC! Although we were 8 adults, there was plenty of space. We enjoyed using the river porch and dining room for our meals. The pool was perfect. We launched a sailboat and paddleboards from the boathouse. The beach is gorgeous, and we enjoyed our beach walks. There is lots of wildlife to observe. We recommend the golf cart as an easy way to tour the large property. We are very familiar with Urbanna, and we particularly enjoyed our meal at Something Different. It was great to be so close to the Urbanna Food Market and Food Lion. We are also huge fans of Urbanna Trading Company where we purchased all of our wine and champagne. We even had moonlight and magnolias during our stay! We can't thank you enough for a wonderful time, and we highly recommend Rosegill for your family-friend vacation.

Summary: Our family spent a week at Rosegill and we are looking forward to returning. The home is beautiful with lots of space for all, and is a masterpiece historical home with the necessary modern conveniences. The farm, lakes and river are spectacular. We did a lot of fishing and crabbing, swam in the pool, kayaked on the river, enjoyed the swing, and were picked up at the Rosegill dock for a sunset cruise. Some also did trips to Williamsburg, Richmond and Busch Gardens, which are all about an hour away. The nature, animals and views are breathtaking. We saw a sand crane, egret, raccoon, rabbits, turtles, and hawks, just to name a few. Everything [even the beds and bedding!] was exceptional and it's a very special place to create family memories. The host and inn keepers were excellent and helped plan and make this trip very special. Looking forward to visiting Rosegill again.
