NOVEMBER 2012 UPDATE: We now have WIFI in the cabin.So now you can keep in touch with family or work while you are on vacation in our relaxing cabin!! Also have made a driveway up to the cabin for easier access. Will be updating those pictures very soon.

We are 2 minutes away from Historical Yorktown and close to much more.We're minutes away from the beautiful Colonial Parkway going to Historic Williamsburg,13 miles from Busch Gardens Amusement Park, Water Country Water Park,close to Historic Jamestown, Williamsburg Pottery Factory, 11 miles from an Airport, Great Golf Courses all around, 1 hour from Virginia Beach, Great Fishing,1 mile to Boat Ramp and launch, Historic Guided Tours, Living History Tours, Wine Tasting Tours, Festivals on the beach, July 4th Fireworks and Celebrations, Market days at Yorktown, Great shopping, Restaurants,Seafood Festivals, Daffodil Festival, and concerts. So much to do for every taste and so close to it all.

2 minutes away from Historical Yorktown: Our 1 bedroom Hilltop Hideaway on the York River is the perfect place for a Romantic Weekend or a great place to stay for the week and be so close to many FUN THINGS to do.So bringing the kids would be great too.There is Historical Yorktown just 2 minutes away,Colonial Williamsburg and all its glory,Jamestown, Busch Gardens Amusement Park just 13 miles away and Water Country USA Park 11 miles.There is great shopping, with the Williamsburg Pottery factory 18 miles away,several Malls, and my favorite, Walmart. Restaurants, Wine Tasting Tours, Historical Guided Tours, Great Golf Courses,Virginia Beach only an hour away, Seafood and Daffodil Festivals, Concerts on the Yorktown Beach all summer, 4th of July Fireworks on the York River that can be enjoyed from the beach. There is also a Public Boat Launch less than 1 mile away and fishing available there too.There is room to park a trailer for whatever you bring.So much to do that a informational booklet will be supplied inside.

The cabin has been newly renovated, with vinyl siding, new windows, new french doors leading out to screened porch,new king size boxspring and mattress, stone fireplace, with electric logs, new 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. 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. Lots of boats , fishing 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.

Why Larry and Sheila Tinker chose Gloucester

This cabin has been in my family since 1942. It was being built by my grandfather and his 3 sons(my father was 8 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 a great find for us! The kids enjoyed staying in such a quaint cabin- sure beats a hotel room in their opinion. The screened porch gave us an opportunity to connect with the kids through story telling. It was so peaceful in the evenings after a long day at Busch Gardens, Water Country USA, the beaches, or Colonial Williamsburg.We would love to come back.

We came down from Richmond, Va. to get out of the city for a relaxing weekend.It has been exactly what we needed. The views, sunsets,and wildlife have exceeded our expectations.Weather was perfect even with the thunderstorms yesterday, since we could still be outside on the screened -in porch.I recommend other guests to do just as we did- Eat, Drink and Be Merry and just enjoy this tremendously peaceful place. It was perfect for us and we had no reason to leave the entire weekend- so restful.

We love your cabin!!We usually go to the mountains to enjoy the vista and quiet, but we decided to go East this year.And we are so very glad we did.The vista of the river-is awesome.And it is so quiet here. Very romantic with the sunsets on the river. The cabin is neat, clean and decorated so cute.
We went over to Yorktown and visited some shops and Ben and Jerrys,Yummy!! Hubby brought his canoe and enjoyed going fishing right from our beach-very convenient.
Thanks,Steve,Vicki,Janice,Baby Jade

Sheila and Larry,
We, Beth, Robbie, Andy and Janine leave with regret.We feel fortunate to have been included with all the others who have shared your beloved family cabin. We could not have asked for more peaceful,comfortable,surroundings.You have thought of everything! Coming back when warmer weather and the flowers are in bloom is a definite possibility.
