WHY UpYonda?
Where doing NOTHING is doing SOMETHING...

It is experiencing a disconnect from the stress of everyday life and reconnecting with yourself, as a couple, with your family, with friends, or simply by yourself. We all need time to recharge and energize and it is this experience we wish for our guests.

It is a paddle in one of our complimentary use watercrafts - kayaks, canoe, or paddle boat - exploring an undiscovered shoreline. It is savoring freshly caught crabs when in season right from our private dock or throwing in a fishing line and testing your fishing skills (crab pots available for your use). Contact Little River Seafood for the best crabs when you need more than you’ve caught. Want to make it a full on seafood buffet? - A Fishing charter is a must try. Captain Fisher at fishersbaycharters.com will have you reeling them in.

It is engaging in lawn games - cornhole, frisbee, badminton, disc golf, life size chess, and more. Book a Tee-time and play on a design winning golf course, or take a bike ride along the bi-ways to the free river ferry crossing and back.

It is relaxing on the back porch with a good read in your lap, dog by your side, while overlooking the serene and private water views. Overhead fans boosting the enveloping water breeze to keep you cool on a warm sunny day. Relax around the fire pit (firewood provided) making s’mores and memories. Enjoy a swing on the hammock while listening to the water lap the shoreline - is there anything more relaxing? Perhaps sipping on a favorite drink, think morning coffee or evening sweet tea on the dock as you watch your new world drift by.

It is an animated conversation in the deep seating Great room, preparing meals together in the kitchen, and playing board games or a cut-throat game of cards around the banquet sized dining table.

It is experiencing what the locals call home. Breath deep while you walk and picnic on the beach at Hughlett's Point, a birders heaven. Root through thrift shops, score an antique treasure, tour the wineries, or savor that perfectly built burger paired with a craft beer. Farmers markets on the weekends, dine at some of our favorites - Crazy Crab and Reedville Market both located in the beautiful fisherman's town of Reedville, as well as Horn Harbor just down the road in Burgess to name a few. We can tailor any special requests you just need to ask!

This is YOUR time to discover all the Northern neck has to offer. Memories are here to be made...by YOU...at UpYonda.
