Location is excellent for a peaceful, quiet, wonderful view and so many beautiful birds to watch. We had a girls’ crafting weekend and enjoyed the large sitting room surrounded by windows. If all adults are staying, it’s good to know the room with a bunk bed is not necessarily an adult bunk bed, but we made it work. The host was very accommodating and communication was excellent. Thank you for a relaxing weekend!

This is an idyllic home on the marsh and water. My favorite parts are the deck on the front with comfortable chairs and great views. I also loved how the host is so nice and responds so quickly. There is a lovely beach that is a short walk away and the owner has provided access courtesy of the hosts. My children were able to play in the water on a hot day and beachcombing for shells. You do need water shoes for sure and bug spray is a must for outside activities as well. Watch out for poison ivy, which is very prevalent in the area. The home is so quiet and we were able to adjust the temperature easily when the weather changed as it does in the spring. It is very close to a grocery store and Yorktown. The home is older and needs some upkeep but I completely recommend it. There is a downstairs large bedroom that is perfect for those that cannot do stairs well. We would absolutely return. loved the huge selection of dishes!!

We loved our stay in this cozy cottage! The windows in the back overlooked the York River and it is so serene. There was plenty of yard for our dog to sniff around and we loved watching the birds in the marshy area. Our host was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. It was very close to Yorktown. Would definitely stay here again!

The views here were amazing!!! But the house definitely needs some updates. And new pillows and mattresses.
