The Inn at Tabbs Creek

Set along a quiet stretch of Tabbs Creek on Virginia's Chesapeake Bay in Mathews County, The Inn at Tabbs Creek is a waterfront bed and breakfast built in the 1880s by a local shipbuilder. Innkeepers Sherry and Ridge Crewss, who took over the property in May 2024, continue a tradition of coastal hospitality that blends the building's historic character with updated amenities. The Inn operates as an adults-only retreat, with seven guest rooms and suites, a chlorine-free heated pool, a private dock, and kayak, canoe, and paddleboard access directly on the creek. A four-season back porch, a fireside Morning Room, and a hidden Speakeasy lounge give guests indoor gathering spaces alongside the waterfront grounds. For weddings and celebrations, the Inn offers full property buyouts that include exclusive use of all seven guest rooms, a wooden ceremony arch, a licensed officiant, and waterfront amenities for overnight guests. Larger gatherings can be held under a 40'x60' reception tent set up on the property, accommodating up to 50 guests. The Inn also hosts smaller, more private occasions such as waterfront proposals and vow renewals for couples seeking an intimate, secluded setting on the water.
