Peaceful, relaxing vacation space
If sitting by the water with river breezes gently blowing, enjoying the quiet (occasionally interrupted by honking Canadian geese with their broods of adorable fluffball chicks, or passing ships), walking along a shell-strewn beach at sunset, or sitting in rockers on the screened porch watching the sun set over the water to the evening symphony of crickets sounds heavenly to you, you have found your vacation home. We enjoyed a wonderful respite from the stress of our lives relaxing here.

River Beauty and the Trees
What a view! Off the beaten path but perfect in every way. The living space is small but the screened porch made up for it. The weather prevented use of the kayaks but still enjoyed the water. The felled tree made for lovely pictures on the river bank. The golden eagles were also a treat as the sun rose over the water.

Very cozy and comfortable!
We loved our stay at this wonderful little cottage by the historic James River! The view was amazing, the cottage clean and comfortable. It was easy to find and close to the ferry that took us to explore Jamestown, Yorktown, Richmond, Petersburg, and Williamsburg. We love the history of that area. We love this area and have visited a couple of times before so we will be back to stay here when we return.

Peaceful, cozy getaway
We had a fantastic stay at this terrific little cottage perched above the river. Quiet, peaceful nights with the relaxing sounds of the waves lapping up on the shore and we loved sitting on the screened-in porch watching a storm roll in. I'll definitely be back.

The most thoughtfully-prepared VRBO we've ever stayed at
In the last 15 months, we've stayed in 13 different VRBOs (lot of recent travel), and this property was the best-prepared spot we've ever stayed at. So many thoughtful details (extra toothbrushes / toiletries / kitchen supplies), the *softest* sheets, fantastic layout for our family to enjoy a few days right on the river. Location is great for bopping out to Williamsburg for day trips but enjoying the morning / evening in seclusion. Watched dolphins from the back porch in the morning and loved the time strolling the beach and taking the kayaks out.

The Perfect Place!
We loved our stay at The Cottage! It was such a peaceful place and just as described. Super clean and had everything and anything you would need right down to extra toothbrushes and fire starters. The beach area is wonderful, it’s like being on your own private island. The kayaks were a huge hit with the kids and my husband I enjoyed them as well. We saw bald eagles, deer, and so many shells! The cottage is tucked away at the end of a drive and feels very private. Such a quant and cozy place. The ferry to go into Williamsburg is less than a mile away and it’s free! We used the ferry several times and enjoyed it as well. We had 5 people in our group and we all had plenty of room and we’re comfortable. The hosts are very friendly, knowledgeable of the area, and easy to get in touch with.

James River House
My family had the best time on our Spring Break! The house was big enough for all five of us. It was extremely clean and was well stocked with all the necessities and even a few extras. The beds were very comfortable and the house had many cool touches and character. We enjoyed playing corn hole out in the backyard, collecting shark teeth and fossils on the beach, and even spotting a few bald eagles and groundhogs. My kids also loved riding the ferry over to Williamsburg. This is a very special place!
