1600 square foot waterfront cottage with panoramic views of the water from inside the cottage, deck, and lawn. No internet, television or telephone. Enjoy. Located in historic Mathews County, Virginia, the waterfront cottage is located on Gwynn’s Island near the mouths of both the Piankatank River and Kibble Creek thus allowing easy access to both shallow, calm creek water and the deeper water of both the river and the Chesapeake Bay.
