Meet at the Creek

Our property is located in Deep Creek Chesapeake, VA on the intercoastal waterway/dismal swamp canal.  We have 4+ acres of natural beauty at the end of a gravel road.  Though we are not far from the city, nature definitely is the main character around here.  The waterway is brackish (salt and fresh) so there is a wide array of wildlife to enjoy.  Bald eagles and heron fly over daily and we often see otters, foxes and raccoons and birds galore.  Guests have access to kayaks and dock (2 story) for fishing and/or relaxing.  Water views from any spot on the property.  We also have two friendly dogs that would love to meet you.
