We stopped off for the night here on a road trip down the East coast. The motel is located in some very pretty grounds. The owner was very friendly, and the rooms were clean and great value for money. More

My wife and I just returned to Freeport, Maine from a trip to Cape Charles and Williamsburg, VA. I had read the reviews for the Rittenhouse Motor Lodge and HAD to give it a try. It is a true motor lodge in the fifty's sense; you drive right up to your room, no shlepping your bags down endless halls! We... More

This is the best place I have ever stayed. Please stay away if you don't like 60's motel noastaglia or kind people. More

Never been to Cape Charles area. Found this motel on Tripadvisor and decided to give it a try. Ditto what everyone has said about the owner. I haven't met such a friendly guy in a really long time. It is very close to historic Cape Charles, Eastern Shore NWR and Kiptopeke SP. The setting is spectacular. I was travelling solo... More

We have passed this motel many times but never had the opportunity to stay there until last saturday. The wooded location is very inviting and takes you back to an earlier time. Our room was neat, comfortable and clean. Enhancing the experience greatly is the very accomodating owner Bobby Rittenhouse. . A great person to sit and chat with, he... More

The motel sits in a large landscaped area with little nooks of fern and azaelea gardens to walk or sit in. We opted for one of the larger rooms in the rear. It was HUGE, had a large flat-screen TV, comfortable beds, was... More

I really liked the place as I drove in. Nice location. The room was old and sad: sixties furniture, worn and frayed. Bed was clean, but the bath was horrible. Water leaked from around the base of the toilet when flushed. Makes it fun to stand there with toilet water leaking onto your bare feet. Fixtures 40 years old and... More

We are birdwatchers who stayed overnight in the Rittenhouse before birding at Kiptopeke SP. The motel's location is perfect for birders. There motel is surrounded by tall pines and boxwoods. It is secluded and peaceful. The room was very comfortable. The mattresses, pillows, and television were new, but the room had a classic retro look. The manager, Bob, was very... More

There are few places that I have been that gave me the same feeling of timelessness. This small gem is located in an unspoiled area in the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The rooms are clean and well appointed if you are thinking of the 1950's. We LOVED the feeling that we got when we met the owner and proprieter, Mr.... More
