GWYNNの島のコテージ - 8月オープンでチェサピークベイ-2週間を体験してください！

People like family introduced me to Mathews County decades ago.

Friends introduced me to Gwynn's Island, a true slice of heaven.

The Cottage's private beach is the perfect place to lounge, launch a kayak or paddleboard, enjoy adult beverages, swim, crab, fish, watch a sunset over the water, or start a Solo stove fire on a starry night. It is located on our property and not shared with other properties.

The water views from the Cottage make guests feel like they are on a houseboat. From inside or on the deck or beach, guests enjoy spectacular sunsets over the water. Depending on the time of year, guests see blue herons, bald eagles, dolphins, swans, osprey, ducks, loons, seagulls and sandpipers. With a Coast Guard station on the Island and a yacht club across the water, guests enjoy lots of boating activity. Or they can bring their own boat as we have a long circular driveway and a boat marina 1/3 of a mile away.

Our Shed which has bikes to explore the island, 3 kayaks, a stand up paddleboard, a crab pot and nets, beach chairs, rafts, life vests of all sizes, a croquet set, pup tent, fishing rod, a Weber grill, grilling supplies, a folding table for crab picking in the yard, and more, free of cost.

Gwynn's Island, the location of the Revolutionary War battle which ousted the last British governor in Virginia, is rich in history. Hole In the Wall is a popular restaurant with outdoor dining overlooking the water just 1/3 of a mile from the Cottage. Gwynn's Island Museum is fascinating to visit. Guests step back in time and sloooow doowwnn their pace as soon as they cross the island bridge.

Mathews County has more shoreline than any other County in Virginia although it's the 2nd smallest geographically.

The Cottage is close to the idyllic water towns of Urbanna, Kilmarnock, and Irvington. A boat ride away is the Eastern Shore, Cape Charles, or Tangier Island. Historic Gloucester and Yorktown and its Battlefield where our country's freedom was gained are also nearby. Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg including Busch Gardens and Great Wolf Lodge are an hour away.
