Peaceful escape with easy access to history

The property was located central to numerous Civil War battlefields and sites we wanted to visit during our week long vacation this summer. The location allowed day trips to Richmond, Fort Monroe, and Petersburg while offering a peaceful retreat to play board games, kayak or go fishing after a busy day.

We really enjoyed our weekend getaway! The home was just what we needed and hosts were great!

The home was just as described and extremely clean! Joyce was very responsive and a wonderful host. We made use of the kayaks, the dock and fire pit and some perfect weekend weather and also enjoyed exploring the area (York River State Park). We also loved sitting on the dock and watching heron, osprey, and so many other birds enjoy the creek.
