So bringing the kids would be great too.We do allow pets as well,with an added nightly fee.

There is room to park a trailer for whatever you bring. So much to do that a informational booklet will be supplied inside.

AS OF 4/1/2019, New living room furniture. Replaced the sleeper sofa with a new recliner sofa and added a rocker recliner as well. Have a very comfortable memory foam cot for an extra guests, along with the couch.The sleeper sofa needed to go. This furniture is so much more comfy!!
The cabin was renovated in 2010, with vinyl siding, windows, french doors leading out to screened porch, king size bed, stone fireplace, with electric logs, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and blender. The outside is a continual work in progress by us, weather permitting.But the cabin is cozy with a beautiful stone electric fireplace,that can be used year round for ambience.. Exposed log beams in the tall a-frame ceiling. Front porch looking right out to the beautiful sunsets over the York River and even a closer view from the outside deck.Your own beach down below the deck, just a few steps away to enjoy, with a view across the river to Yorktown Beach. ***SWIMMING IN THE RIVER IS AT YOUR OWN RISK!***We also suggest swim shoes, because the York River is a Tidal River!!
There are lots of fishing boats and jet skiers to watch going by and occasionally navy ships to see go thru the bridge. And the most beautiful Virginia sunsets you will ever see right out your front door !!!

You will need to supply all food and beverages for your stay. There is a Food Lion grocery store approx. 2 miles from the cabin. Please bring your own beach towels also.
SINCE THERE IS NO LAND LINE PHONE IN THE CABIN, A CELL PHONE IS A MUST, FOR EMERGENCIES, OR TO CONTACT US DURING YOUR STAY FOR ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS.
Fishing license not needed on property, with registration # that can be done over the phone.We will supply the telephone number for your convienence.

Again SWIMMING IS AT YOUR OWN RISK and we suggest, for safety reasons, that everyone please bring water shoes, if you plan to go in the water. It is a tidal river, so things/objects are always washing in and out.

Finally saw the Bald Eagle
Its my 4th time staying at the cozy cabin. Got 3 beautiful sunsets after rain on other trips. We usually see dolphin daily but too early in season, I guess. Blue Heron always is fascinating to watch. I think I've got bird correct. Had lots of great food from Egg Heads to the BCBC, in Hampton. Try Chipper for awesome fish & chips. Hosts are always great. I cant wait to go back again. We hope the Colonial Parkway will be reopened by then. Detours from April 2024 through Spring 2026. I love its scenic route, part of my drive, going & coming. Ill be back!

So Peaceful
We spent four wonderful nights in this VRBO. We had such a lovely and peaceful stay. We loved sitting on the screened porch and watching the river go by. The location was close to everything. We enjoyed going to both Williamsburg and Yorktown. And the little fenced in area was great for the dogs to go potty at night.

Spring Break Vacation
We visited from Upstate New York for some warmer weather and to see the sites in the historic triangle. I cannot say enough good things about this rental. The hosts were outstanding, the cabin was cozy and a great place to relax in the evenings with some outstanding sunsets, and the best part was the fact we could bring our lab with us. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed the water (still a little cold for us), walking through the neighborhood was great as it was nice and quiet, and it was an easy drive to all of the historic areas. We hope to be back in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Larry and Sheila Tinker

Host profile image
Owner: Sheila Poland Tinker. I grew up in Gloucester and graduated from Gloucester High in 1977. Married Larry Tinker in 1993, moved to Yorktown and had one beautiful daughter, Brittany.

Why they chose this property

This cabin has been in my family since 1941. It was being built by my grandfather and his 3 sons(my father was 7 at the time) when Pearl Harbor was being bombed. So it has a lot of memories in it for my family. My husband and I bought it from my 2 uncles in 1991 and now share 2/3 ownership with my dad. We have refurbished it and updated it without taking away the beautiful memories of the history. You can still see the handprints on the A- frame wood ceiling from where they had to place each piece.
This cabin means a lot to me and my family and we look forward to sharing it with you!

What makes this property unique

Beautiful stone fireplace with electric fire logs for ambience. French doors that open to the screened porch, where you can see the most beautiful sunsets on the York River. Can fish right from the property without getting a fishing license. (ask for details on confirmation number to do that). Very peaceful and quiet but still close to alot of fun things to do.
We will consider pets, but need to know full details beforehand. Have had trouble in the past and are now very cautious about allowing them, but understand how important they are to your family. We have 2 Yorkies of our own and love being able to take them with us.
