Sunset River Shack – Nauti, Nice, and Unforgettable

Sunset River Shack is both Nauti and Nice! This stylish boho-meets-nautical waterfront cottage is full of personality and perfectly positioned for year-round sunset views over the Elk River in the Upper Chesapeake Bay. Whether you’re looking for a romantic retreat, a fun-filled girls’ getaway, a boating adventure, or a family vacation, this newly renovated gem has everything you need to relax, recharge, and make memories. The only challenge you’ll face is convincing yourself to leave when it’s time to go home.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the inviting energy of the water all around you. The cottage sits right on the shoreline, with wide-open views that change throughout the day—from sparkling morning light to fiery evening skies. The fresh bay breeze and the sound of gentle waves lapping against the shore create a backdrop that feels both peaceful and energizing.
Nauti-Boho Style with All the Comforts of Home
Inside, Sunset River Shack blends playful coastal style with cozy comfort. Light-filled rooms feature airy colors, nautical accents, and bohemian touches that give the space a laid-back yet chic vibe. The open living area is perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine, playing games, or simply gazing out at the river through the large windows.
The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare everything from a quick breakfast before hitting the water to a full seafood feast after a day of adventure. Gather around the dining table for a meal with a view, or step outside to enjoy the fresh air while you eat.
Comfortable Sleeping Spaces
The bedrooms are designed to be comfortable and welcoming, making it easy to rest after a day of fun. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with friends, or with family, the layout makes it easy to spread out and still enjoy time together.
Outdoor Living You’ll Never Want to Leave
The outdoor spaces at Sunset River Shack are where this property truly shines. Start your morning on the deck or patio with a cup of coffee, and end your day soaking in the 5–6 person hot tub while watching the sun dip into the horizon. In between, lounge in the sun, read a book by the water, or take a nap to the sound of the river.
When evening comes, gather around the fire pit for s’mores, storytelling, and laughter under the stars. The property’s dock access means you can bring your boat or rent one nearby, making it easy to explore the Elk River and the Upper Chesapeake Bay. Spend the day cruising, fishing, or simply floating and enjoying the scenery.
