If you are looking for a unique experience and appreciate history, architecture, and damn good design, you just found your spot. First of all, the location. The cabin is located on a rural road that is a five minute drive to downtown Onancock, which offers a coffee shop, several restaurants, bakery, shops, Saturday farmers’ market, and the harbor. Chincoteague and the famous ponies are 35 minutes north, and bougie Cape Charles is 40 minutes south. When you open the door to this 300’ gem, you will step back in time to a simpler way of life. This century old building was moved to the site and has been brought back to life, preserving the original character, while adding the creature comforts we love of today. Soaring ten foot ceilings provide a spacious air, and the original wood interior offer charm and patina that simply cannot be manufactured. In the past, it was a barber shop and then a poker joint. This place is a design nerd’s dream, a clever combination of old, new, and vintage pieces, handmade pottery and art, with close attention paid to each chosen piece. Lace curtains and blackout blinds cover all your light preferences for peaceful sleeping. The queen bed is a high end hybrid mattress with traditional coil base and memory foam top. A giant 55” TV is directly across from the bed for cozy streaming. The modern bathroom has a vintage wall sink found on site, and terrific water pressure from a rain shower head with instant, never ending hot water. The kitchen has an ample antique sideboard as your sink, apartment size refrigerator, induction hot plate, coffee, microwave, and combo convection toaster oven/air fryer. The drop leaf table seats two and expands for more room. A comfortable down-filled loveseat adds another lounge option. You will enjoy all the artistic touches around the room. Did I mention the front porch??? It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon wine, and evening stargazing from rocking chairs with your boo. A pretty view of a wide field is across the street and will sooth your weary soul. What’s not to love about that?If you are looking for a unique experience and appreciate history, architecture, and damn good design, you just found your spot. First of all, the location.

This century old building was moved to the site and has been brought back to life, preserving the original character, while adding the creature comforts we love (don’t worry, all surfaces were thoroughly cleaned, sanded, and sealed). Soaring ten foot ceilings provide a spacious air, and the original wood interior offer charm and patina that simply cannot be manufactured. The exterior is still being updated and new exterior photos will be added soon.
