Montross Stratford Hall Hotels

"As always staff’s terrific"

"Very clean and well kept"

"We had previously stayed here when it was 'Potomac View,' and while we loved it then, the transformation into 'The Pearl' is amazing. The owners have managed to keep the historic charm while providing a fully updated and comfortable experience.The location remains unbeatable and the wraparound porch with the waterfront view over the Potomac is still the best in Colonial Beach. The interior updates are impressive. The removal of the wall between the kitchen and living room opens up the whole space. We especially appreciated the new central HVAC (no more window units!) and the fast Wi-Fi.The kitchen is stocked with high-end cookware (Cuisinart/Chicago Cutlery) and appliances like the induction range and wine fridge that made cooking easy for our large group. Being able to seat all 10 of us at the new dining table with the crystal chandelier felt very special.The kids also had a great stay. The 'kids nook' was a thoughtful touch and we loved using the new bikes to explore and the cornhole boards in the yard.It is rare to find a 150-year-old home that feels this fresh, warm and comfortable. We are so glad the new owners preserved the heart of this home while making it better than ever! Will be back!"

"We were seaking a peaceful retreat and this property delivered. The house was well equipped, clean, and comfortable. Will be planning another visit. "

"What a wonderful weekend stay. Grab your coffee, sit outside and enjoy the peaceful view!"

"Absolutely stunning views, super quiet setting, enjoyed the garden. Wish we had bright paddle boards and kayaks. We did not- failed! The weather was fabulous end of September and the water was not too cold. We had 7 adults and 2 dogs, everyone was very comfortable and had a nice weekend. I was impressed with the size of the Hinoki cypress and the dawn Redwood tree!! View from living room bat window! Photo number 3 "

"Great house. Tons of room and beds. Nice beach area. Clean and nice quiet neighborhood."

"We had such a good time here! It was quiet and so relaxing. We made good use of the paddle board and kayaks. The water was warm and easily accessible which was great! The house was beautiful and well stocked and Abbie was so kind checking in with us to see if everything was going good or if there was anything we needed. Honestly out of all the times we rented I never had another host reach out to us like she did. Our older group of kids had no problem finding things to keep them busy inside and out. We even made use of the pass that was left to use, visiting Westmoreland State Park. Everyone has already asked so I’m sure we will be going back again! Thank you so much Abby for sharing your home and kindness. "

"I stayed at the Blue Heron with my 2 kids (2 and 10) and my large dog. The fenced in large yard was absolutely wonderful to have everyone outside when at the house. I loved the lot - so much space on 3 of the sides without being right on top of another house! The bay view off the side of the house really topped it off! The house was incredibly clean inside. As an unexpected surprise, there’s an auto ice maker in the freezer, saving me from having to make a trip to a store with the kids for filling our cooler. My kids loved the whole experience so much, they keep asking when we can stay again. Both kids got teary eyed when we left. We absolutely will be back."
