Ophelia House | Home Sweet Home away from Home

3 Bedroom House in Ophelia, Heathsville

Summer is here, and Spencer's Creek is alive with wildlife. A flock of turkey flew across the other day. The geese are about along with our blue heron that flies up and down the creek every evening like clockwork. We have a second blue heron that joined her last year. The Ospreys are busy doing their dance across the way. Mama's Sweet Retreat is perfect for a get-away!
Mama's Sweet Retreat is located on Spencer's Creek off the Little Wicomico River in the Northern Neck of Virginia and is accessible by boat. There is a boat and Jet Ski launch within a quarter of a mile of the home. Vir Mar Beach, a small local beach, is 3 miles away by road.
