This cozy, comfortable cottage was a peaceful retreat for us after a stressful time in our lives. Sitting in front of the blazing riverfront fire pit in the evening, watching the stars come out, listening to the river rhythmically lap the shore while waterfowl called goodnight -- all were a healing balm to our souls. During the day, strolling the private beach for enormous scallop shells, hiking through Chippokes State Park, riding the ferry to wander though historic Yorktown, Jamestown, Williamsburg, riding bikes on the lovely Virginia Capitol Trail and Jamestown Island, then returning home on the ferry to spectacular sunsets on the river -- made for a wonderful week, even in February. The cottage had fun decorations, and welcomed us with special touches by the hosts (including ample firewood!) The hosts were immediately attentive to our suggestions, and definitely aimed to please! We were so grateful for this special hideaway!
