Perfect Holiday Getaway

The house was perfect for our two-night stay during our Christmas Town visit. The area is quaint and only 30 minutes to Williamsburg. The yard backed to a farm / farmette and we were able to see the neighboring cows. Quiet area and easy access to highway.

Clean and comfortable

We loved our stay!! The home was warm and comfortable with a fireplace! The home had lovely views of the pasture and woods and was very quiet (no city noises). The stars were so bright and we enjoyed sitting on the deck beside the fire table! I would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area.

Most relaxing and peaceful stay

My wife and I absolutely enjoyed this cottage. We look forward to revisiting this place as soon as possible. The host was fantastic. The place was clean and relaxing. We have never stayed at a better place when going through VRBO. The views the sounds and the atmosphere just one of the most peaceful and relaxing places we have ever visited. I would recommend this place to anybody that wants to visit this area.

Wedding weekend

My granddaughter got married at Historic Jasmine this weekend and we were fortunate enough to have found Moss Cabin for our family. It is a wonderful place-cozy and comfortable and so clean. The surroundings were lovely and relaxing. I’m hoping that we get a chance to stay there again soon!! Chloe was wonderful to deal with and was responsive to any questions we had!!!

Wonderful property

Well maintained, well equipped rental property. Many small details that you do not see in many rentals. The owner understands that the little things sometimes makes the difference from hand soap at all sinks to coffee pods in the Kitchen. The kitchen was well equipped even though some pots need to be replaced. We really enjoyed our stay.

Country Charm

This home and space is exceptionally outfitted for a large family. My children and dog had plenty of space indoors and outdoors to roam. 4 beds and 3 full baths make this space efficient for a large group. Communication and response to any question is rapid. The home is well maintained, updated appliances, and a 2 car garage. This home is very accommodating. My family cannot wait to come back and stay here again for a visit to Virginia.

We didn't want to leave!

We have stayed in and enjoyed rentals on many occasions, but this one takes the cake! From the moment we arrived (and actually even before then), Peggy was pleasant, informative, and so friendly that we felt as though we were long-lost friends! The house .. what can we say. The amenities are top notch and whoever decorated the house has great taste! Honestly, it felt like home - and we didn't want to leave! We will no doubt be back when visiting relatives in the Richmond area. Thanks so much for making this a memorable stay!

Why they chose this property

The current property owner, John Poindexter, an entrepreneur as well as a land and building preservationist, is a native Texan. He currently resides in Houston while considering New Kent, Virginia his second home.

With family roots in New Kent dating to the late 1600's, John began a property acquisition and restoration effort in 2013. By 2014 it included 2500 acres of rural property situated near Williamsburg, VA. The acquired properties are once again becoming farming acreage and managed forests, characteristic of the colonial era.
Unlike most entrepreneurs whose interest New Kent has captured, his intentions have been to protect and preserve.

Moss Side Cottage, part of the Moss Side Manor Estate was in disrepair when purchased in 2014. With the guidance of local craftsmen and talented advisers, the property was revitalized and updated. Moss Side's acres were once in the Poindexter family, from which it was purchased and operated for generations by the Christian family. The Christian family still lives in New Kent and remains close neighbors and friends. The Christian's were pleased to witness the masterful renovation and to see their beloved family homeplace (Moss Side Manor) restored to its original elegance.

What makes this property unique

Moss Side is a wonderful place of tranquility and retreat due to its seclusion and natural beauty. It features a natural, lush environment and direct access to 216 farm and forest acres for the enjoyment of guests. The convenient location allows access to the wineries and golf courses and the James River Plantations, and is located near Richmond and Williamsburg, as well as Hampton Roads and Northern VA/ Washington D.C.
