Cozy and quiet

This property was a cozy, quiet and private home away from home when my family came to Williamsburg. The set up worked well for our family of five and could also be a perfect getaway for a couple.

A Magical Holiday Getaway at Frogmore!

Our family stayed at this beautiful rental home for five unforgettable days between Christmas and New Year's, and it was absolutely perfect in every way! The house was cozy and located away from all the noise. The location was also ideal—quiet and peaceful yet close to everything we needed. The hosts were incredibly kind, responsive, and attentive to every detail, ensuring our stay was seamless and stress-free.

Gorgeous property

The property is very beautiful. I would not say it has a river view, but it is very shaded and pretty. The house serves basic needs. Clean and comfortable beds. Clean, functioning bathroom. We used this as home-base while visiting son, DIL and grandson for his 1st birthday.
