Peaceful location, courteous host, beautiful scenery. The location puts you far enough away from tourist areas to where you don't have to feel like traffic is an issue but close enough to get to anything within minutes

The place was described accurately. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable, and the cottage was bigger than we were expecting. No issues with checking in or communication. The owners were nice, answered our questions, and made sure we had what we needed, which was fantastic. It was cold when we were there, and we didn't get to fish the river, but we caught plenty of smallmouth bass and bluegill in the pond. The amount of space we had to run our dogs was exactly what we were looking for in a property. Unfortunately, renters should know that there are dogs on both sides of the property that roam freely. We had to keep a close eye on the grounds before we could let our dogs out because they are afraid of large dogs charging at them. Every day, we had issues with dogs running at ours and had to keep our dogs close to the house. This is something to consider if you are bringing your dog. Otherwise, we loved the property and enjoyed our stay. Going into town was easy, and nothing was too far away from the property. It was quiet in the evenings and a nice retreat away from city living.

The cottage setting was so peaceful. We took advantage of the tiki hut for dinner and card games. The cottage was very nicely appointed - clean, beautifully done. We would definitely stay again if we visit the area.

Beautiful property, comfy home off the beaten path yet just minutes from town! Sam and Mark are so kind and readily available. She was very responsive to texts and Mark shared stories of the area. Our 2 dogs accompanied us and enjoyed walks outdoors. Dog friendly home yet did not smell like it! Very clean! Visited Jamestown, Yorktown, Williamsburg, & Chesapeake Bay.

If you are looking for a peaceful place to take your dog, this is it. Lots of wildlife, and plenty of birdwatching. The water was very relaxing to be by. The cozy little cottage would be perfect for a small family.

The cottage was a very nice place to stay. It has everything you could need. Its also a very secluded area, so if thats something that you like, then youll enjoy your stay. Bush Gardens and Williamsburg are only 30-35 minutes away. We enjoyed our 3 day stay here, thank you Mark and Sam.

Beautiful location- fairly secluded with wildlife and access to water, and is the perfect place to bring the pups. House has cute waterside cottage vibes, and is stocked with almost anything you would need. The property owners were very nice and accommodating.

Well we didn't appreciate the new neighbor walking his dogs in between the house we stayed in and the outside area which we were supposed to be able to use like it was his property. Our dogs couldn't even enjoy being outside on a leash. We didn't feel comfortable there this time at. The satilite system needs work.
