We had a wonderful stay at this secluded, quiet home. The scenery was beautiful and the home was impeccably clean. I say secluded, but it's only 5 minutes from the ferry that connects to Jamestown and Williamsburg.

We had a wonderful stay at the River House! The home was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The location and views were amazing, and we really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere by the river. The host was great and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

This house was an amazing place. It was a prefect place for all of our activities we did. It within an hour drive to Richmond and Norfolk. The ferry ride over to Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg was a great experience. The house was well supplied.Thanks for letting us use your house.

We loved our stay here! We stayed with our kids (11 & 4) and had a wonderful week. The house has everything you need (other than your clothes and toiletries!) for a comfortable stay. Compared to other vacation rentals we’ve used, A.C & Linda really go the extra mile to ensure their home is clean and well stocked. The air conditioned porch provides lovely extra living space and the river front is so enjoyable. The kids could swim and play safely and loved looking for cool shells. Water shoes are a must have! Ferry access is easy and reliable to get to Williamsburg, Busch Gardens and other attractions. The house is in a peaceful, rural area- providing a great escape from the hustle and bustle!

Clean, cozy, private cottage on the water. Perfect spot for our family of five to visit Colonial Williamsburg without having to stay in a hotel in the hustle and bustle of Williamsburg proper.

We thoroughly enjoyed this cottage. The location and scenery was wonderful. We rode the ferry to Williamsburg for dining and sight seeing. It was only a three day weekend trip but it totally revitalized us. LOVE...LOVE...LOVE this place.

The house and location are incredible, it was perfect for our family. Convenient location, close to the ferry, you can see the Jamestown settlement from the beach. My kids had a blast playing in the water and we managed to catch a few catfish while we were there too.
