About this property

Cozy Cabin Getaway with Beautiful Sunsets on York River, minutes from Yorktown

There are special events that take place in our area thru out the year, that are close to our property.
The Historical Triangle is very popular, which is a tour of Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown,Local Breweries,the Williamsburg winery and of course Busch Gardens and Water Country are all within 20 minutes.
Also the Coleman Bridge crossing from Yorktown to Gloucester no longer has a toll, Yay!
Now about our Cabin Getaway:
As of July 3rd 2024, there is new/updated carpet in the living/ dining area and the bedroom.
There is WIFI in the cabin. So you can keep in touch with family or work while you are on vacation in our relaxing cabin!! Also have made a driveway up to the cabin for easier access.
Must be 21 years old to rent this cabin and show a valid drivers license if asked by the owners.
We are 2 minutes away from Historical Yorktown and close to much more.We're minutes away from the beautiful Colonial Parkway going to Historic Williamsburg,13 miles from Busch Gardens Amusement Park, Water Country Water Park,close to Historic Jamestown, Williamsburg Pottery Factory, 11 miles from an Airport, Great Golf Courses all around, 1 hour from Virginia Beach, Great Fishing,1 mile to Boat Ramp and launch, Historic Guided Tours, Living History Tours, Wine Tasting Tours, Festivals on the beach, July 4th Fireworks and Celebrations, Market days at Yorktown, Great shopping, Restaurants,Seafood Festivals, Daffodil Festival, and concerts. So much to do for every taste and so close to it all.

Our 1 bedroom Hilltop Hideaway on the York River is the perfect place for a Romantic Weekend or a great place to stay for the week and be so close to many FUN THINGS to do. So bringing the kids would be great too.We do allow pets as well,with an added nightly fee. There is Historical Yorktown just 2 minutes away, Colonial Williamsburg and all its glory, Jamestown, Busch Gardens Amusement Park just 13 miles away and Water Country USA Park 11 miles. There is great shopping, with the Williamsburg Pottery factory 18 miles away, several Malls, and my favorite, Walmart. Restaurants, Wine Tasting Tours, Historical Guided Tours, Great Golf Courses, Virginia Beach only an hour away, Seafood and Daffodil Festivals, Concerts on the Yorktown Beach all summer, 4th of July Fireworks on the York River that can be enjoyed from the beach. There is room to park a trailer for whatever you bring. So much to do that a informational booklet will be supplied inside.

AS OF 4/1/2019, New living room furniture. Replaced the sleeper sofa with a new recliner sofa and added a rocker recliner as well. Have a very comfortable memory foam cot for an extra guests, along with the couch.The sleeper sofa needed to go. This furniture is so much more comfy!!
The cabin was renovated in 2010, with vinyl siding, windows, french doors leading out to screened porch, king size bed, stone fireplace, with electric logs, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and blender. The outside is a continual work in progress by us, weather permitting.But the cabin is cozy with a beautiful stone electric fireplace,that can be used year round for ambience.. Exposed log beams in the tall a-frame ceiling. Front porch looking right out to the beautiful sunsets over the York River and even a closer view from the outside deck.Your own beach down below the deck, just a few steps away to enjoy, with a view across the river to Yorktown Beach. ***SWIMMING IN THE RIVER IS AT YOUR OWN RISK!***We also suggest swim shoes, because the York River is a Tidal River!!
There are lots of fishing boats and jet skiers to watch going by and occasionally navy ships to see go thru the bridge. And the most beautiful Virginia sunsets you will ever see right out your front door !!!

You will need to supply all food and beverages for your stay. There is a Food Lion grocery store approx. 2 miles from the cabin. Please bring your own beach towels also.
SINCE THERE IS NO LAND LINE PHONE IN THE CABIN, A CELL PHONE IS A MUST, FOR EMERGENCIES, OR TO CONTACT US DURING YOUR STAY FOR ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS.
Fishing license not needed on property, with registration # that can be done over the phone.We will supply the telephone number for your convienence.

Again SWIMMING IS AT YOUR OWN RISK and we suggest, for safety reasons, that everyone please bring water shoes, if you plan to go in the water. It is a tidal river, so things/objects are always washing in and out.

Cabin brought back 60 year old memories to a summer cabin on a lake. This quiet riverside property with a sandy beach was perfect for 12 year old boys to explore. The cabin was spacious providing stunning views of the wideRiver. All furniture and bed were especially comfortable. Historical sites were at most 25 minutes away.

Host was welcoming and helpful, with good communication. The location was awesome as far as on the water, near activities, and near restaurants. The cabin was cozy and comfortable, the amenities were all that we needed, the bed was very comfortable! The Christmas decor was charming and very helpful, since we did not get much decorating done at home.

Wonderful hosts, Shelia put much time and effort into decorating the cabin for Christmas. Also, her and Larry were only a phone call away in the event we needed anything. A million dollar view on the York River, and it was cleaned immaculately upon our arrival.
