The decor and common spaces were very well appointed and spacious. The layout allowed us to gather together comfortably or have areas of privacy in case one of us needed to take a call or work. Our primary reason was a graduation, while we did not spend a lot of time at the house or grounds it is lovely place for a large group to enjoy some quality time together both indoors and out. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael S. 30 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun vacation My family had a wonderful time at this property.

Short walk to the dock/kyacks - weather and time did not allow us much use of the water but it was beautiful. House has everything you need - owner was very easy to work with. Great restaurants near by, definitely go to Olivia's. We would highly recommend this property ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina R. 18 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible location and great stay This house was renovated for this purpose (vacation rental). It is setup to accommodate a large group and it is very comfortable with more on the grounds than I realized. Peaceful location, comfortable beds (Firm but surprisingly not like sleeping on a board). Owners were great to communicate and provide instructions and assistance. It is further away from major work locations but that is the intent of this location; get away from hustle and bustle. Definitely going to stay again with the family ##### Tina R.

More than enough space for all 3 generations to use. Much of the house is old and subsequently there are quirks, however, everything was clean, in great shape, and intentionally decorated to feel very modern, cozy, and inviting. The kitchen was full of utensils and supplies and we had no issues cooking many meals. We really enjoyed having access to the pier, beach and boats. The host provided many local spots in Gloucester to explore, and overall the drive to Williamsburg and Yorktown were relatively direct and painless. The drive out to this property felt secluded and serene. Wish we had spent more time just relaxing at the B&B. ##### Jessica N. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christie W. 3 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So cute and peaceful! What a great place! The whole house is decorated beautifully with comfortable furnishings. The outdoor areas were definitely a plus - comfy front porch you would expect of a farmhouse and the fire pit area that provided a great atmosphere for our group of 6 grown ups. 10 minutes drive to a super cute Main Street with the highlights being the brewery, Olivia’s, and the popcorn store (go get some samples!). Only downside was no bathrooms on second floor that has 3 bedrooms, but that did not hinder us greatly. Not unexpected in this older home. The presence of 2 separate living spaces was a big bonus…for those of us not interested in the NFL Draft! The river was a 5 minute walk away and the dock and riverside seating area were lovely. Wi-fi worked well for the one person that had to log on for work. We will likely be back! ##### Christie W. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tammy B. 21 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Farmhouse Comfortable stay at this renovated balloon construction style farmhouse. We were there two nights for son's graduation in Yorktown from USCG training. Plenty of space for 8 of us to spread out, fully equipped kitchen, comfy beds & couches, plenty of parking, heat on both levels worked well (20s at night), great firepit w/ seating & wood supplied, oven & propane grill worked fine (used both), nicely decorated, plenty of clean towels for everyone. Both bathrooms downstairs, water pressure wasn't great & either no vent or vent didn't work in both, also no outlet in master suite bathroom. View of river. The recommendation of Olivia's for dinner in Gloucestershire was on point...great food, friendly staff. Shannon (owner) seemed nice via text messaging & was prompt to respond. ##### Tammy B.
