Today we’d like to introduce you to Abbie Eastman.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
This house had been a dream of ours for a long time and we finally made it a reality in 2023. We’re from the DC area, have two young kids and a menagerie of animals, and wanted a place on the water within an easy drive of home where we, our family and friends could escape the hustle and spend more time together.
The moment we drove into Montross, we fell in love. It’s full of charm, incredibly friendly people and so many fun things to discover! We truly believe the Northern Neck is the area’s best-kept secret, and we created Easthaven to share a little of that magic with others.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
When we purchased the house, it was in its original mint-condition 1970s state! Transforming it into Easthaven has truly been a labor of love. We’ve updated virtually every part of the house, added a gorgeous primary suite with water views and continually look for ways to make the experience better for our guests. From the big renovations to the little details that make a stay special, we’re always thinking about what else we can do to help guests feel at home and make the most of their time here.
We’re incredibly proud of how far Easthaven has come and, most of all, of the amazing experiences and lasting memories our guests have made along the way.
We’ve been impressed with Easthaven, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Easthaven is a one-of-a-kind 4 bedroom, 3 bath waterfront vacation home on Virginia’s beautiful Northern Neck, designed for families and friends who want more out of a getaway than just a place to stay.
We’re all about bringing people together through shared experiences and unforgettable memories. Think days spent kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, crabbing and exploring the water, followed by evenings around the fire pit, family games and plenty of laughter.
What sets Easthaven apart is the combination of a beautiful waterfront setting and its game themed. There is truly something for everyone. With a private dock, multiple kayaks, paddleboard, canoe, paddleboat, beach access, game spaces, a popcorn bar and dog-friendly accommodations, we’ve thought of the details that make a vacation special for kids, teens and adults alike.
We’re most proud of creating a place where families can unplug from busy schedules, reconnect and simply enjoy being together. Whether it’s a weeklong family vacation or a quick escape from the DMV area, Easthaven makes it easy to trade everyday routines for waterfront adventures and memories that last long after checkout.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
What we love most about the Northern Neck is that it feels like a world away without actually being far away. It’s a place where life moves a little slower, people are genuinely friendly, the scenery is beautiful, and there’s always something new to discover. Between the waterfront, charming small towns, local seafood, wineries, beaches, boating and outdoor adventures, there’s something for everyone. We especially love that it still feels like a hidden gem, with a laid-back, welcoming character that’s getting harder to find.
What do we like least? Honestly, that more people haven’t discovered it yet! And perhaps that a weekend never feels quite long enough. There’s so much to explore, and once you’re here, it’s hard to leave.
