We had a wonderful stay on the York River and would definitely recommend this house! It was clean, spacious, and exactly as described. The well-equipped kitchen, plenty of room to spread out, and three full bathrooms worked perfectly for our group of five adults. The fenced yard was also a huge bonus for our dog.We especially enjoyed the easy access to the river during the hot weather. The two kayaks, one canoe, and variety of life jackets made it easy to get out on the water, and the views from the house are beautiful. Although we didn't use the fire pit, it was a nice amenity to have available.The location was perfect for us, only about 20 minutes to the restaurants and shops in historic Gloucester, around 30 minutes to the Yorktown Battlefield Visitor Center, and less than an hour to Busch Gardens and Colonial Williamsburg.The host was very responsive. We let them know the garbage barrels were full when we arrived and they arranged to have them emptied the very next day, which we really appreciated.The only thing future guests should know is that the house sits high on a hill. The elevation provides spectacular views of the river, but the walk down to the dock and waterfront could be challenging for anyone with mobility concerns.Overall, this was a great property in a peaceful location and we'd gladly stay here again.

Nice property however needs a deep cleaning….refrigerator, under beds, sticky floors, and ceiling fan definitely needs attention. Nice area. The dining area antique table and chairs are not comfortable…the rest of the couches and chairs are good…lots of room and nice game room.
