Great place

The house was very comfortable and clean with everything provided for the stay. The location is on a quiet street yet only a short walk to an incredible sweet shop and great restaurant. It was awesome to sit on the sun porch and listen to the birds chirping. We loved it.

Yorktown

Great midpoint to all the attractions. The town of Gloucester has close restaurants, shopping whether you want to walk or drive a short distance. I wasnt aware of the toll coming back and forth to Yorktown. Honestly, for us the 20 minute drive was worth it. The property is on a quiet street with food options within a 5 minute walk.

We were thrilled with the property. It was exactly how it was pictured. It was very comfortable. We were in the area to visit relatives. The only suggestion would be to have one step step stool for short people to get on the beds.

Quaint, clean cottage in old Gloucester village

We stayed her to do some hiking at the surrounding state parks. The house is off the main street of Gloucester and easy walking to restaurants, bakery, brewery. Large yard on a quiet street. House is a nice mix of modern renovation and original interior. Beds are very comfy and the house was clean. 2 porches, one in the front and an enclosed porch in the back were great for coffee and dining outside. Close to grocery and other shopping and easy to get to Yorktown. We will be back.

Beautiful house and walkable to charming downtown

Really enjoyed our stay at this home, which we used as a jump-off point to area attractions including the Jamestown Settlement, Colonial Williamsburg, and several state parks. The home was beautifully remodeled and decorated, extremely clean, and included everything you need. The best feature, however, was the very walkable distance (half a street!) to the charming historic Gloucester Main Street with restaurants, shops, a cafe, several historic landmarks and sidewalks the whole way. We were fortunate to time our visit with the blooming daffodils and this area is known for these beautiful flowers— read about their history in the small town park right off the main strip. Thank you for a great trip!
