The location itself has a deep history, from before the time of the earliest European settlers, but the house itself was built about 20 years ago as a creativity retreat. Each of the four levels of the house has rooms with balconies facing the water and views ranging far up and down the lovely James River. The bottom floor is a walk-out basement with a bedroom housing a queen bed, a two headed stone tile shower, a separate WC and a large communal sitting area. The main floor has a large Great Room and the communal kitchen as well as access on three sides to the wrap around porch. Two bedrooms are located on the second floor; the master with the king sized bed and gracious bath, featuring a Kohler slipper tub, opens onto a private balcony overlooking the river. The second bedroom has a queen sized bed and a private bath and offers a view of the grounds. The uppermost floor houses a cozy room with a private bath and a stunning, bird's eye perch over the river. The four-acre grounds provide seclusion along with easy access to the river side community. The property is served by high-speed internet. Much of the woodwork in the home was made by Mack Headley, a former master craftsman in Colonial Williamsburg. Some of it, such as the herringbone patterned floor in the Great Room and staircase, was made by him from local walnut.

We enjoyed sitting outside at the end of each day with wine and enjoying the view (birds, boats, and deer). The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals with a marvelous stove, 2 ovens, microwave and cookware as well as ample dishes. 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths meant each of the four of us had our own space. The common areas were very nice.y appointed as well. The internet also was functional. It was a free ferry ride to many historic sites but the trip was worth it as we could return to a grand home and enjoy the quiet. ##### Sandy H.

I am a huge Gone With the Wind fan and this property brought you back to the South prior to the Civil War all we needed were ball gowns to make it really authentic. The house was well appointed with the necessaries (toilet paper, tissues, and toiltetries). In addition the kitchen pantry had salt, pepper, flour and other staples. The interior of the house is amazing with much of the furniture handmade by the owner who was a master woodworker at Williamsburg. The host Anna was very friendly and communication was excellent. Can't wait to return to this wonderful property. ##### Connie G.

Super clean and many amenities. Amazing views of the James River. However, the information provided on the site never mentioned that the property is “more than one hour” away from any of the area’s attractions, for example Bush Gardens. That being said, I admit I never asked the manager for this information nor did I do research regarding distances to local attractions. I do want to thank the host for providing an extraordinarily beautiful home and for responding promptly to my questions. ##### Irma S.

It was close to many places to visit and/or parks. Each room was filled with light and each bedroom, its own bathroom. The gathering room was fantastic and the porches provided amazing views of the river. We saw rabbits, deer, hawks, plus more...on the property. We walked a 2 mile loop to the river and back through town to the house. At night we saw shooting stars and had spectacular sunsets and sunrises. We celebrated 4 birthdays and 1 retirement. We had dinners at the large table together. Coming from various States, this was a magical week and place to be together. ##### Lisa V.

From the perfectly appointed interior to the active osprey nest just outside the stairway landing window, this was a welcoming and warm oasis for our family getaway. Guest enjoyed the gathering spaces and the privacy of bedrooms, each with their own en suite. The grounds are great for quiet walks, exploring, and observing nature. The property manager answered my questions and gave us many options in the area before arrival, with even more on the property. This is the perfect mix of rural solitude, being nestled in Surry Co/Spring Grove, and Williamsburg's major tourism attractions are an enjoyable free ferry ride away. The only hardship this property created was having to leave it! ##### Elizabeth J.

The property was beautiful, clean, spacious, and surprisingly stocked with extra amenities for guests..Anna and Stephanie were super helpful.. We enjoyed not having TV and wifi, as family time and seclusion was the point of our trip.. We enjoyed bird watching and kept the windows open most of the stay.. Saw 3 different eagles off the back balcony during our stay, which was very rare...we utilized the cornhole boards, fire pit, and the radios located through out the house.. take the reviews serious when they say the closest store is NO WHERE nearby.. We visited Williamsburg, Janestowne, York Town, (the tiny sliver) Claremont Beach for a sunset and Smiths Plantation.. prepare to be an easy hour from pretty much anything.. we never spotted a human in Claremont until our day leaving (other than the owner). We utilized the long drive for our daily exercise.. The Merchant Square in Williamsburg has several dining options if you really wanna eat out.. we came prepared to make several meals at the home but did eat early dinners at The Cheese Shop and Mellow Mushroom and lunch at Retro(something) that had amazing lunch and local craft beer.. The Beer Project (in same bldg as Mellow Mushroom) is a fun family place to await the local eateries with several games (for kids) and beers on tap.. Also a Smashburgers that looked amazing and had no wait (like the sit-downs), was located in the same area.. The property is stocked with several items for finer dining or serving that makes me think a small wedding, reception, or shower would also be beautiful here with lots of items already offered with the fee. I agree with the review about comfortable seating in the living area, but we stayed outside most of our trip so that wasn't an issue for us.. If we are to visit the area again, we would certainly look to stay again here.. \*last note, you need to be physically able to climb stairs to enjoy this property as there is no bedroom on main floor.. Thank you for sharing this gem of a property! ##### Misty P.

The view from every floor was breathtaking - including the lush property with all the crêpe myrtles in bloom and other flowers as well as long views in both directions of the James River. We saw so many types of birds. And more than once had bald eagle sightings which was very magical! The kitchen had everything that we needed to cook over the long weekend. We did drive to a restaurant one evening and it was a little far. I’d recommend planning to cook or grill out because the scenic views were a lovely backdrop to all our meals - inside and out. Fabulous stay for four best friends! ##### Mary d. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Savannah P. 26 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning house with an interesting lay out My friends and I stayed here for a few days so we could go to Busch Gardens and Water Country USA. This was the most PERFECT place we could've asked to stay. Insanely beautiful, secluded, and bright. We had a blast here, thank you! ##### Savannah P.
