Our History

A landmark, lovingly kept.

Built in 1907 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, The Charlotte stands in the historic town of Onancock, four blocks from the deep-water harbor on picturesque Onancock Creek.

For more than twenty years it was the home and life's work of Charlotte and Gary Cochran.

Under new ownership, the hotel carries that hospitality forward with eight boutique guest rooms made for slow mornings and easy evenings on the coast.

The Rooms

Eight rooms, each its own.

Luxury linens, down pillows and memory-foam mattresses, with rain-shower heads to start the day.
