River Gem was our mothers "Happy Place" and a place all her children and grandchildren could enjoy together. My siblings and I decided to keep that tradition. We all love Colonial Beach and our time spent together. Several years after our mom bought River Gem, I bought a house in Colonial Beach and now live 2 blocks from River Gem on a full time basis. My name is Carolyn, I live 2 blocks away for the River Gem. Upon arrival I may stop by to introduce myself and can be available to assist you during your stay in our family home.
