Our grandchildren came for several visits and overnights. It was great. The cottage is very user friendly and was quiet. The surrounding areas uncluding paddock was a bonus for our Shetland sheepdogs. The walking trails were fine. We had a fantastic stay.

Nice country house
The house was nice and comfortable. We enjoyed the porch and the walks nearby. One major disadvantage was that there is no wifi.

We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet. Once we were directed on how to actually access the property. Everything was great. It might be helpful to describe how to get to the property in the listing.

Perfect Peaceful Getaway
Nice older structure that can be seen in some of the wood work and fixtures. I enjoyed that thoroughly. The plumbing and kitchen features ,however, are completely up to date. We enjoyed breakfast in AM before heading out for the day and there's a pleasant enclosed porch on which to dine. The back door is practically in the woods and we saw one deer on the side of the house. The host was very accommodating sending a welcome message beforehand and answering a question afterward. I was actually thinking of personal touches I could make and living in there. LOL We have family in the area and will be back.

Gorgeous place stay -- wish we spent more time at the cottage!
I rented this hidden gem of a cottage for my mother's birthday weekend and it comfortably fit me, my parents, husband, new baby, and pets. It was a truly special experience. It reminded us of my grandparents' home that was also built in the 20s. We loved the intimacy of the stay, the décor, the books, the views. Very clean and well-stocked with linens. I had our days jam-packed with activities and wish we'd spent more time enjoying the property. Great places to walk, beautiful fire pit and grill to use. The front and back porches were lovely. The one negative was that the secondary bedroom got warm and humid so I recommend sleeping with the door open and/or bringing your own fan for air flow if it is hot out. Otherwise the house had great AC throughout. Our phone reception was fine so having no WIFI made no difference for our getaway.

Quiet countryside
Nicely appointed historic cottage with period decor and furnishings, also has a well stocked library! Off the beaten path, very private with pastoral views but still close to Gloucester and Yorktown.

Not a bad little cottage.
We were pleasantly surprised by this property. It’s cozy and scenic. It was neat to walk the trail behind the house, you can kind of see the York river, but there’s trees and the marsh in the way! It was cool to sit out from and see deer running through the land surrounding the house. My only suggestion would be, a tv would be nice to have in the living room. I’d also highly suggest installing a fan on the front porch. There is no air movement with it enclosed. My family and I agree that we’d stay again.
