Notes
- We do not have wifi. The whole historical area of Williamsburg has free wifi as do the businesses and restaurants around Williamsburg. We take pride in our cottage. It is important to us that it is clean and has everything needed for your comfort and fun. The free car ferry belongs to the VA Dept of Transportation and runs 24 hours a day. When landing at Jamestown, Williamsburg is 5 miles straight down the road (about 5 min.) and it takes about 15 minutes to get to Busch Gardens.

We are a retired couple who love Virginia's history and the "rivah"!
Why A.C. Traylor chose Surry
Our cottage has a beautiful view, a private beach and the James River to play in, but close to Jamestown, Williamsburg, Yorktown, Busch Gardens and other sites that you came to see. It is like having the best of both worlds.
What makes this Cottage unique
The view is beautiful. Directly across the river is Jamestown Island, the place of the first permanent English settlement in America (1607). This cottage is on land that was given to Pocahontas from her father, Powhatan, when she married John Rolfe. On a clear day, you can see the roller coasters at Busch Gardens. Even if the weather isn't perfect, you can sit on the enclosed porch and watch Eagles and Ospreys fish, or tugboats going by. As one guest said, it was like coming home after a busy day. And, you can always spend a day on the "rivah," swimming, kayaking, or just enjoying it while sitting under a beach umbrella.
