Secluded, peaceful cabin

We had a great time at the cabin. We really enjoyed the wraparound deck and full wall view of river from living and dining rooms downstairs. The binoculars and telescope were a nice addition to check out the view. Comfortable beds and linens. Ideal if you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway. We loved it.

Great getaway!

This was an awesome home nestled just far enough away from civilization but still close enough to access whatever you needed. The home was very clean and well-maintained and had a marvelous view of the James river. The host was very hospitable and extremely quick to answer any inquiries.

Cozy Lake house

We enjoyed our one night stay between visits to Busch Gardens and Water Country. The house and decor are older, but everything was clean and felt very cozy and comfortable. It was nice having a bedroom with lots of beds for a family with young children. Beautiful view of the water!

Hidden Gem

Get away from the hustle and bustle of Williamsburg and stay here! A very seamless and quick (free) car ferry ride across the James to get to Busch Gardens and Jamestown. This place is great for families. There is even a basketball hoops the kids enjoyed! Lots of space to move and very quiet and serene. We tried 2/3 restaurants in town, both good. Neighbors were friendly and lots of charm. Amanda was fabulous to work with during our stay.

Virginian Vacation

Our two families drive down from NH and MA. The house was a perfect set up for our group. We took the ferry into Jamestown and surrounding areas to explore the historic sites and enjoy Busch Gardens. Beautiful sunrise over the river each morning. Our host was great with communication. The downstairs did get buggy near the sliders towards the end of our stay.

An ideal family vacation cabin.

This secluded hideaway cabin is obviously a home with years of accumulation of entertainment and home away from home necessities. Despite its age, it was incredibly clean. If vacationing in the Williamsburg area, the ferry is fun and adds to the “family entertainment”. Although the commute is a hike, the home feeling rather than commercial hotel is absolutely worth the trade off. The hostess was available to respond to any questions. As planned renovations come about, it can only enhance anyone’s vacation. Highly recommend for a family getaway!

Fun spot by the river

We stayed here and visited Colonial Williamsburg. It was a reasonable distance away from what we wanted and had a big room to put all the kids in. It's in a quiet neighborhood away from it all.
