I was visiting relatives in Portsmouth, VA and had not spent much time on the eastern shore. On the drive down 13, we decided to explore a bit. We booked the Spinning Wheel for one night. The yellow room was big enough and very cozy and comfortable. The atmosphere of the inn is casual, which was nice. We kayaked the... more

I stayed at the Spinning Wheel for one night in August 2009 on a two-day lighthouse lover's cruise through the southern Chesapeake. The trip overnighted in Onancock, with everyone making individual arrangements. I chose the Spinning Wheel, and ended up finding a place that felt like home almost immediately.

My husband and I stayed at this inn for one night in early October. Our room was small but well-appointed. There is no phone or television in the room, but there is a sitting room at the front of the house with these things that you are welcome to use. The hosts were low key and dressed very casually (sweat... more
