Space, space and more space. Why cram your group into a smaller rental when you can have all this!
Only other home nearby is the care taker’s house (family’s house) right next door - very convenient should our guests need any assistance, but allows for our guests’ privacy.
This home has a large first floor master bedroom with a cozy nursery area along with train and dress up play for our tiniest guests. The master boasts a large ensuite bathroom with heated jacuzzi tub along with a dual shower head shower room. The master bed faces french doors with views of the country and access leading to the massive oversized covered deck. Additionally on the first floor is a guest room complete with its own nursery area as well and an attached bathroom with two entrances. Both rooms are equipped with queen beds. The entire upstairs consists of 2 bedrooms both actually larger than the downstairs rooms with their own bathrooms as well. One room has 1 double bed, 1 twin bed, writing desk, and a makeup vanity and nursery area. This room still has more space available. The second upstairs bedroom consists of 2 more queen beds, a few cozy reading nooks, a doll house, and play kitchen available for any "Little's" in the house for play time. The bonus room (5th bedroom) over the garage comes with its own seating area and a double bed and futon for additional sleeping quarters. The fully stocked gourmet kitchen is complete with custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The countertop bar seats 6 and flows into the dining area with an additional seating for 10. The open concept first floor continues into the living room with multiple seating and lounging options. Feeling energetic, knock out a quick workout in the home gym equipped with commercial elliptical machine and weights located adjacent to the garage and just off the master bedroom. Need to relax after a long day at Busch Gardens, Water Country USA or Colonial Williamsburg then just retire to the enormous covered back deck that overlooks the woods and crops in the field. The huge deck is equipped with dual ceiling fans, speakers, an oversized 7 burner Jenn-Air stainless steel gas grill, seating and dining options for all guests, a fire table for your enjoyment on those cool nights and yet still room to spare! The covered back deck has been a VRBO's fan favorite for morning coffee, family gatherings, wedding anniversaries, birthday celebrations and even Yoga Class. We have felt extremely blessed to host our many large families in the past two years with plenty of room for multiple generations. We have helped reunite families, celebrate 60 years of wedlock, a 90th birthday, college graduations, work retreats, and even provided our house to an advertising agency to produce commercial media and print material. The response has been overwhelming and we sincerely thank you for considering our home.
Due to the nature of our property with free range birds, we are unable to accommodate service/ esa animals.
We live in the perfect vacation destination. Enjoy a few days at beautiful Busch Gardens or Water Country USA. Satisfy your historic curiosity with a trip to Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, or Jamestown. Enjoy our amazing array of restaurants, pampering spas and world-class golf. Experience Virginia tourism at its best! Williamsburg was named one of the top 15 cities in the U.S. in Travel + Leisure’s "Worlds Best Survey."

The house was exceptional- very spacious and very clean. The Christmas decorations were an added touch that made us feel at home. The host was very prompt in replying to all correspondence.
House was great! Nicely decorating for Christmas. The tray of fresh warm brownies on the counter when we walked in was a very nice touch. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Very spacious, affordable property nestled off Richmond Road. Very clean, great hosts and the house had all the amenities needed. Can’t think of a thing they missed. Fresh eggs daily, if you like! Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the Williamsburg/Jamestown/Yorktown area.
This property was lovely and just what our large family needed! With 5 bedrooms, we were able to spread out and not be on top of each other but still enjoy family time in the large common areas. Pros:-super clean! -plenty of indoor and outdoor space-our kids loved collecting and eating fresh eggs from the chickens -kitchen was well equipped and easy to navigate-each of the huge walk-in closets was a different activity for young children. One was a kitchen, one a store, one a dress up closet-there was a playground and a treehouse which our kids loved-great location—convenient to Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Busch Gardens and more-ample linens and towels were provided Cons:-4 of the 8 beds used by our family were uncomfortable. 1 mattress very hard, 1 with a large dip in the middle, one very lumpy, and 1 just generally uncomfortable -the only TV was in the open concept area downstairs. It would be nice to have a TV somewhere else so the kids could watch a cartoon without everyone having to hear it. -only 1 key was provided which was inconvenient with 6 adults trying to come and go at different times-the beautiful plush grass pictured in the listing was roped off and not to be walked on which was a little disappointing Overall, we would definitely stay here again if we returned to Williamsburg.

It warms our heart that your family had an awesome stay. Thanks for pointing out the plethora of areas my wife has created for the kiddos to use their creativity and imagination and engage with their parents and grandparents alike. This has been a huge hit with our guests. As an educator in childhood and family development, bringing families together is a passion of hers and hence the lack of multiple tv's which tend to separate families, so sorry.
Our property is on a very safe and secure family compound whose driveway dead ends to our approximately 6 acres. We can provide extra keys on request should multiple guests want to lock up their food and clothes while away but is definitely not needed. With plenty of acres for kiddos to explore the play set, tree fort and multiple chicken coops with roughly 40 free range chickens, we are truly sorry the postage stamp size front yard with lush green grass was a disappointment. Thank you for noticing and commenting on our landscape efforts though. We work hard on the little curb appeal directly in front of the house and unfortunately try maintain it by limiting foot traffic and prefer guests not pick the multitude of roses and lilies along the walk way either. An occasional family photo in front of the house is encouraged though. :)
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback on the bedding. We do offer a range from pillow top to foam style mattresses in different firmness to accommodate most guests. This is the first review of our beds in 600 some odd reviews from multiple travel sites and we are bummed each guest couldn't find the perfect one. We will definitely inspect the beds as this is new information.
Thank you for helping make our property even better!
See you on your next booking!
We enjoyed this lovely home and the farm-fresh eggs for breakfast. It was easy to travel to Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, and Yorktown from this property. We would stay here again.
This house was perfect for our family reunion. We had ages ranging from older adults to six years old and everyone commented about how they loved this house. The owners are very communicative and set up the sleeping arrangements perfectly. It’s ideally situated to do all the fun things around and we would definitely stay here again!
This property was perfect for our large family group. Everyone had their own space and was comfortable. It is a beautiful property. It is bright and sunny and looks out over a field. The large back deck with fire pit was a nice place to gather and relax.The hosts are great and were very accommodating for our arrival. The brownies , hot from the oven were a welcome treat after a very long car ride. They were very responsive to any questions we had. We will visit again and be sure to stay here.
We really want to thank Jennifer and Gary for a wonderful place to stay! The home is beautiful in a very serene setting! When we checked in we thought it was way in the country, but it is actually very close to everything we needed and very close to all the historical parts of Williamsburg, Jamestown and York!It would be wonderful for several families with children to stay! Most of the bedrooms have private restrooms attached!Jennifer was very prompt answering any questions we had! Very nice people!You will really enjoyed our stay here and recommend it highly!
We enjoyed our time at this property. It was convenient to Route 64 and we were able to easily get to all of the places on our itinerary. The house is lovely and very comfortable.
This house had something for everyone! The adults loved the porch and beautiful surroundings, the older kids enjoyed the privacy of the “secret bedroom” and the 4 year old loved all of the toys! There was plenty of space for everyone to eat together, play games and enjoy our extended family trip!
We were a large group and the house was perfect for us! Very well appointed and clean, the exemplary communication with the owners was the icing on the cake! Highly recommend this venue!

About the host
Hosted by Gary Campbell
We are a Christian homeschool family of five that loves to experience education and not just read it from a text book. This home has blessed us with the ability to travel more often and give our children experiences we could otherwise not afford. Born and raised right here in Williamsburg, I am the lucky father of this great family. After graduating from James Madison University and spending time in Atlanta, Georgia, Branson, Missouri, Fort Smith, Arkansas and Springfield, Missouri to name a few, my wife and I realized growing and raising our family in my beautiful hometown of Williamsburg, Virginia among grandparents and childhood friends couldn't be beat. A 25 year veteran of the restaurant industry, I am finally in the second and most fulfilling chapter of my life, due in large part to the success of this rental, but most importantly due to my faith in our Lord and Savior. After years and countless hours in the restaurant business filled with long work weeks, missed birthdays and holidays and time spent away from my growing family, The Lord put it on my heart to put that aside and focus on what should have been my primary mission, being a true father to my children and the spiritual leader of my household. I am blessed with a family that has a heart for God and is active in spreading the Gospel. My beautiful wife over the years has served on Outreach and Mission Teams and lead numerous groups of missionaries into Mexico to spread the Gospel while building houses for families in need. Her current mission field is homeschooling our two daughters with the addition of two of their friends. She has an unwavering passion for pouring into young girls both educationally and spiritually! Thank YOU for helping make this possible!
Why they chose this property
Our forever home and slice of heaven is located on 6 acres that backs to 800 acres of additional farmland. The only immediate structure nearby is the caretaker's house which is located adjacent to ours on the 6 acres. My wife and I carefully designed our home with the help of a local architect and then proceeded the custom build with my wife overseeing the process from start to finish. This open concept floor plan makes great use of all available space. Whether your preparing a gourmet meal, sitting down to a holiday feast or entertaining in the living room, you're never out of the conversation!
What makes this property unique
Need to relax after a long day at Busch Gardens, Water Country USA or Colonial Williamsburg then just retire to the enormous covered back deck that overlooks the woods and crops in the field. The huge deck is equipped with dual ceiling fans, speakers, an oversized 7 burner Jenn-Air stainless steel gas grill, seating for all guests, a fire table for your enjoyment on those cool nights and yet still room to spare! The covered back deck has been a VRBO's fan favorite for morning coffee, family reunions, wedding anniversaries, birthday celebrations and even Yoga Class. Kids and grownups a like have also thoroughly enjoyed gathering and consuming the fresh eggs the chickens on the property provide. Help yourself! We are located in close proximity to Busch Gardens, Water Country USA, Colonial Williamsburg and numerous golf courses and wedding venues.
