RIVER COTTAGE IN WILLIAMSBURG, VA

We LOVED our stay here!! The owner/landlord is amazing and really helpful. The view from the front porch was peaceful as the birds chatted away and you look out on the Chickahominy River. We loved, loved, loved walking down to the pier and drinking our tea/coffee in the morning and our "drinks" in the evening. It was delightful! The cottage is very smartly furnished with comfy beds, couches and dining table. The bathoom has a HUGE soaking tub that my 10 year old daughter fell in love with and the shower was nice and hot!
Don't listen to the North Carolina review... the view is great and its just a quick walk to the river (no big deal for most everyone else). The shower is a normal size so I am not sure what the North Carolina guest was complaining about. As for the rules.. its not my house so if I am asked to take care with the walls, etc and be respectful.. then I will. I mean who wouldn't? The North Carolina person might have been having a bad day what with such exaggerations. Do stay here... it is nice, peaceful and so relaxing it was hard to come home. Miss Inge is a gracious host who just wants you to enjoy your stay. Have fun!!

What a charming cottage and owner. The cottage was immaculately clean and cared for, furnished like a model home. Everything we needed for a long weekend was furnished ( except food of course). After day trips to Yorktown and Williamsburg we spent hours on the covered porch and on the private dock by the River just doing nothing. Plan to return for other visits.

We were very disappointed with the location and up keep of the grounds for the cottage. The ragweed was so tall we thought the cottage was abandoned when we first drove up. The cottage does not sit right on the river and in order to see it from the front porch you have to look past the landlord's garage and through all the trees to see something blue.
The TV had such a roaring that you could not hear the program, the ice maker was turned off, the shower is so small you barely had room to move around and the water had a terrible smell. The cottage itself was clean and cute but there were a lot of rules for the cottage, so much so that we felt uncomfortable to relax. We did not finish out our week as it was so stressful. We would not recommend this location.
