The location of this home is remote, but that was what we were looking for. When we went, there were only a few neighbors in the homes around us, so it was a quiet, peaceful weekend. We saw a bald eagle's nest from the driveway of the house. There was an active pair in the nest, so that was amazing! We took advantage of the kayaks and gas grill. The beds were comfortable and the home was large enough for 4. I think 8 people would be tight to fit into the common areas. The porch on the back was lovely! It didn't matter that it was rainy because we could sit on the porch and enjoy the outdoors. There are a few restaurants and shops in Gloucester Courthouse, so the option to go out to eat is there. On the downside, the floor in the living room and into the master was buckling, and the door did not shut properly. An older person may have tripped or stumbled there. The gas grill was not very clean, so we had to clean it quite a bit before use. Some of the dishes were dirty when we arrived which seemed odd considering there is a $65 fee if all dishes are not cleaned and put away at check-out. Overall, this is a good place to stay for a fair price.
