The Space:
GROUNDS & WATERFRONT
Welcome to Rosegill, a historic 700-acre riverfront estate at the mouth of Urbanna Creek on Virginia’s Rappahannock River. Surrounded by active farmland, private shoreline, wooded trails, and two stocked lakes, Rosegill offers a rare opportunity to slow down and reconnect with family, friends, and nature.
As you drive down the long country lane, you may spot deer, foxes, rabbits, and soaring osprey before the estate comes into view. The property’s sweeping river frontage, expansive lawns, and peaceful setting immediately set the tone for an unforgettable stay.
Spend your days walking the beach, fishing for bass in the lakes, crabbing from the dock, paddling the creek in our kayaks and canoes, lounging by the private pool, or exploring the grounds by foot or golf cart. Strong paddlers can venture onto the Rappahannock River, while boaters may tie up at the renovated boathouse (5’ draft maximum with prior approval).
We can also help arrange memorable local experiences including:
Sunset cruises and fishing charters
Private chef dinners
Guided nature walks
Boat rentals and local excursions
Evenings are best spent gathered around the firepit under the stars, sharing stories after a full day outdoors.
THE MAIN HOUSE
Steeped in 18th-century charm, the lovingly restored Main House combines historic character with modern comfort. Original architectural details, grand hallways, antique furnishings, and sweeping river views create a setting unlike a typical vacation rental.
The home sleeps 12 guests across 5 elegant bedrooms with 9 beds, high-end linens, and timeless furnishings. Multiple gathering spaces make it ideal for multi-generational groups.
Highlights include:
Riverfront porch with panoramic views
Gourmet kitchen with Wolf range, warming drawer, and All-Clad cookware
Formal dining room seating 12
Cozy wood-paneled den and spacious living room
Window benches, chess table, and reading nooks throughout
Private pool overlooking the grounds
From morning coffee on the porch to late-night conversations by the fire, Rosegill was designed for lingering and connection.

Guests enjoy access to:
Private beach
Dock and boathouse
Two private lakes

EXPLORE URBANNA
Just across the creek lies the historic waterfront town of Urbanna, one of Virginia’s oldest and most charming small towns. Browse local shops, enjoy fresh seafood, explore museums, or visit the marina by kayak or boat.
Rosegill is also within an hour of Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown, making it an excellent base for exploring Virginia history.
THE HISTORY OF ROSEGILL
Rosegill is one of Virginia’s oldest and most historically significant estates, with origins dating back to 1649. The property is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register.
Over centuries, the estate evolved into the remarkable riverfront home that stands today, blending colonial history with the relaxed beauty of Virginia’s Tidewater region.
GOOD TO KNOW
The property is a working agricultural farm, so you may occasionally see farm equipment or hear seasonal farming activity.
The fireplaces are decorative only and may not be used.
The pool is unheated and open seasonally from May 15–September 15.
The property includes waterfront areas, docks, and water equipment that require caution and active supervision of children.
Two smaller homes on the property are privately occupied. Your caretakers, Megan and Riki, live nearby and are available if needed during your stay.

Wonderful experience
All members of the family loved this house. There was something for everyone. We all love to be outside. There was swimming, hiking, fishing, bicycling, and kayaking. We also toured Williamsburg and Jamestown, so there is so much to do. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. We only wish that we had planned on more days to stay.

The historic house is spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. Perfect for a gathering of family and friends-modern kitchen, multiple

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.

Rosegill is the most Beautiful and Peaceful place I have ever stayed. Quiet and relaxing. We walked around the lakes and down by the river each morning and evening. The charming town of Urbanna is wonderful. We can't wait to come back next year. The history is amazing but with top of the line modern features.

Amazing Property & Location!
From the house and pool, to the beach and lakes, to the dock and the swing out front; everything we needed to both relax and be entertained was within our reach.
The owners were extremely helpful and communication was excellent from the start. They provided contacts and information for restaurants, boat charters, the much needed golf cart rental, the history of the property, and so much more.
Definitely a five star vacation location and an exciting history lesson all in one.

A Treasure
Rosegill is fantastic. We loved our stay at this beautiful, historic plantation. There were 10 of us including 2 children and the house was ideal. We enjoyed the pool and the beach, rode bikes into town, and lounged in the sunroom. There are not many places that could accommodate all of us comfortably but Rosegill had room to spare!

A step back in time (in a good way!)
What an amazing opportunity to enjoy a historic home in this storied area of our country. There was so much to see and do in the area that we didn't leave much time to enjoy the house! And there's SO MUCH house and property to enjoy! I can only imagine how nice it is in the summer, when you can use the pool, and when the water in the river and lake aren't so cold. Conveniently located close to town, but still private and quiet. The owner and caretaker were both great to work with. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The perfect family reunion location
We gathered for my parent's 50th anniversary with ages 18 months to 80 years old - there was absolutely something for everyone. The little ones enjoyed the pool, beach, rabbit spotting and running with kite on the expansive lawn. While my parents enjoyed watching it all from the comforts of the sun room and the sun deck. Be sure to arrange naturalist tour and sunset cruise in advance - both a wonderful addition to the holiday.

Wonderful Property!
The property is fantastic with lots to explore - even in the middle of winter! The lakes, river, golf cart rental, fire pit, swing, etc. all provided the kids with plenty of entertainment. Enhanced internet was excellent - no issues with multiple people working remotely. The historic home of course has some quirks due to its age, but it is very spacious and was very clean. We look forward to our return trip!
