The space
Welcome to Wiseacre Estate, a sprawling Coastal Virginia retreat reminiscent of 1950s Las Vegas.
This whimsical 4,000sf Mid-Century Modern pad offers a relaxing escape from the rat race... featuring 2 guest bedrooms & en-suite bath, a cavernous 800sf great room, gourmet kitchen, dining table for 8, hot tub, porch & patios, all on one level. Rejuvenate on 3 acres of landscaped grounds directly on Lake Whitehurst (freshwater fishing).
I APOLOGIZE FOR TYPING IN CAPS, BUT MANY POTENTIAL GUESTS SEEM TO MISS THE FOLLOWING FUNDAMENTAL FACT ABOUT STAYING AT WISEACRE: THIS IS A HOME SHARE. This means your Superhost lives on the property.

During your stay
Your host Chuck is a 62yo gay guy who spent 20 years in NYC as a music journalist. I grew up in Virginia, so believe I offer a balance of affable and urban.
Airbnb pioneered the "sharing economy" and this is my home, thus I'm present during your stay. I'll show you around, help you get settled... then give you privacy. Please scroll through our 500+ reviews to see what other guests say!
