Space, space and more space. Why cram your group into a smaller rental when you can have all this!

Only other home nearby is the care taker’s house (family’s house) right next door - very convenient should our guests need any assistance, but allows for our guests’ privacy.

This home has a large first floor master bedroom with a cozy nursery area along with train and dress up play for our tiniest guests. The master boasts a large ensuite bathroom with heated jacuzzi tub along with a dual shower head shower room. The master bed faces french doors with views of the country and access leading to the massive oversized covered deck. Additionally on the first floor is a guest room complete with its own nursery area as well and an attached bathroom with two entrances. Both rooms are equipped with queen beds. The entire upstairs consists of 2 bedrooms both actually larger than the downstairs rooms with their own bathrooms as well. One room has 1 double bed, 1 twin bed, writing desk, and a makeup vanity and nursery area. This room still has more space available. The second upstairs bedroom consists of 2 more queen beds, a few cozy reading nooks, a doll house, and play kitchen available for any "Little's" in the house for play time. The bonus room (5th bedroom) over the garage comes with its own seating area and a double bed and futon for additional sleeping quarters.
The fully stocked gourmet kitchen is complete with custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The countertop bar seats 6 and flows into the dining area with an additional seating for 10. The open concept first floor continues into the living room with multiple seating and lounging options.
Feeling energetic, knock out a quick workout in the home gym equipped with commercial elliptical machine and weights located adjacent to the garage and just off the master bedroom.
Need to relax after a long day at Busch Gardens, Water Country USA or Colonial Williamsburg then just retire to the enormous covered back deck that overlooks the woods and crops in the field. The huge deck is equipped with dual ceiling fans, speakers, an oversized 7 burner Jenn-Air stainless steel gas grill, seating and dining options for all guests, a fire table for your enjoyment on those cool nights and yet still room to spare! The covered back deck has been a VRBO's fan favorite for morning coffee, family gatherings, wedding anniversaries, birthday celebrations and even Yoga Class.
We have felt extremely blessed to host our many large families in the past two years with plenty of room for multiple generations. We have helped reunite families, celebrate 60 years of wedlock, a 90th birthday, college graduations, work retreats, and even provided our house to an advertising agency to produce commercial media and print material. The response has been overwhelming and we sincerely thank you for considering our home.

Due to the nature of our property with free range birds, we are unable to accommodate service/ esa animals.

We live in the perfect vacation destination. Enjoy a few days at beautiful Busch Gardens or Water Country USA. Satisfy your historic curiosity with a trip to Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, or Jamestown. Enjoy our amazing array of restaurants, pampering spas and world-class golf. Experience Virginia tourism at its best!
Williamsburg was named one of the top 15 cities in the U.S. in Travel + Leisure’s "Worlds Best Survey."

Family reunion

To quote my daughter, “it feels like we are in a home and not a rental”. We were greeted with delicious brownies and muffins. It was a great experience by all.

Perfect family retreat

This house had something for everyone! The adults loved the porch and beautiful surroundings, the older kids enjoyed the privacy of the “secret bedroom” and the 4 year old loved all of the toys! There was plenty of space for everyone to eat together, play games and enjoy our extended family trip!

Amazing, Relaxing, Well Appointed Home-away-from-Home!

My friends and I had such a great time time making meals, cooking on the grill and chilin’ at the house after our rounds of local golf. Normally, I have to bring LOTS of things from home to make gourmet meals. Not here — cookware, serving bowls, plenty of glassware, everything needed to make nice meals at “home” - what a treat. The beds were comfortable and the outdoor is so inviting to chill after a day exploring and experimenting Williamsburg. I highly recommend this home and look forward to another stay!

Family Christmas Gathering

This house is simply amazing!!! Wonderful space for multiple families to gather, relax and cook family meals together. House was beautifully decorated for Christmas—a nice touch since we were three families far from home for the holiday. The house was exactly as pictured in the listing/photos and the owners were super easy to communicate with. House is minutes from Busch Gardens, Colonial Williamsburg, New Town and other attractions. The farm fresh eggs and brownies were a nice touch!

Christmas Cozy

This home is lovely, cozy and spacious. I loved all the thoughtful touches such as the home being decorated for Christmas as we were in Williamsburg for Christmas Town. Wow! Plenty of kids toys, books, play stations. Kitchen was well stocked even had a crockpot. Very clean. The porch is huge and enjoyed the scenery from the back porch while sipping coffee by the fire pit. A tray of delicious brownies awaited our arrival. Looking forward to a return stay

Beautiful, peaceful retreat

This was probably the best VRBO I've ever stayed in. We were met with a plate of delicious brownies that were still warm and a spotless house that was thoughtfully decorated for Christmas. The property is beautiful and affords privacy with the amount of acreage. Our girls were able to get fresh eggs from the chickens each morning. Overall, we just felt really refreshed after staying here and would love to come again sometime. Thank you, Jennifer and Gary!

Inviting Family Home

Three generations enjoyed this beautifully decorated, clean and well equipped home. The property is gorgeous and the home has lots of children's equipment and toys. The owners are extremely responsive which is a change from other VRBOs. If you have a large group and want to be a bit outside of downtown Williamsburg, I would highly recommend this wonderful house.

Excellent location and beautiful home

Stayed here with family for over 2 weeks. The house is very clean and one of the best we have stayed at for over 16 years of vrbo travel. Lots of kitchen tools, utensils, plates, etc. Wifi worked well to do work remotely. The location is perfect - about 10 miles to Colonial Williamsburg while yorktown, jamestown, and busch gardens are all about 15-30 min away. note: the house is by the train tracks and there are trains that run through out the day and night. You can really tell the owners take care of the place. Pictures and listing is accurate. shampoo, soap, etc is provided which is nice. Homemade brownies were made for our arrival was a very tasty surprise. We gathered cage free eggs pretty much every morning and had wonderful breakfasts. The owners were easy to get in contact with and were quite responsive. some feedback, but not a deal breaker at all - change master to king and add another night stand - upgrade quantity and quality of the bath towels - add a few more bathmats and towel racks all in all, the house provided a wonderful vacation. I highly recommend this place and if my travels take me to VA again, I will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a great vacation! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Williamsburg Retreat

This home is simply beautiful! I think it's the best VRBO we have ever rented. The house was very clean, beds were all comfortable, wonderful porches and the layout is great. We didn't have children with us, but they have play areas and dress up clothes for the children to enjoy. We were invited to collect fresh eggs from the chickens, delicious! This home worked great for our group and we will definitely book it again whenever we return to Williamsburg!

Wonderful home for Williamsburg visit!

Our friend group traveled to Williamsburg for a weekend golf trip and very much enjoyed our short stay here. The tucked-away house is well appointed and gave us all plenty of space and privacy, with our own separate bedrooms and bathrooms. The outdoor covered patio off the dining room is the star of the home (although the gas BBQ could be beefed up for grilling purposes!). There is ample parking in the driveway, bookended by lovely front and back yard space. Also great for families, with cute add-on spaces for kids throughout the house and a jungle gym off the driveway. There are railroad tracks nearby, so the occasional train does add a bit of outdoor noise. We found it to be a charming touch! The house is an easy 15-minute drive from the heart of Williamsburg. Hosts provided excellent check-in/check-out instructions and were communicative during our visit. Would definitely consider coming back in the future!

Words cannot express how "fantastic" this house is. The location is perfect for everything we elected to do. So much room and space. The porch was so lovely for evenings of wine and wind down.

It was a great experience staying at the Campbell House! The location is very close to downtown Williamsburg, attractions and shopping. Having fresh farm eggs each morning was amazing, plus having the fresh brownies when we arrived was a very nice treat. If you have kids, it is the perfect place for them to explore and play. We strongly recommend this place to anyone needing to stay in the Williamsburg area!

Great house with convenient location near Busch Gardens

Plenty of space for our family of 9 to spread out and everyone have a bed. The house is even lovelier in person than the pictures show. The back covered porch with fans was a favorite of the adults and picking fresh eggs and having chickens roam around the property was a favorite of the kids. There are plenty of stores near by (Harris Teeter, Walmart, etc) and about 20 min from Colonial Williamsburg or Busch Gardens. Check in was smooth, easy and rapid communication with the owners, and an easy stay. Would definitely stay here again and recommend for big groups.

Oasis

The house is simply amazing. It looks like the pictures, only the reality is better because you can’t picture how comfortable, cozy and yet spacious the house is. They’ve taken such good care of the home. It is clean and welcoming, and has the things you need to enjoy it. The back patio with coffee was one of our favorite times of day. That and visiting the adorable chickens! The hosts are so friendly and helpful, and generous. The plate of fresh brownies was appreciated by all. Our only regret was not having more time to enjoy the house itself because we were coming and going so fast. We will definitely be back! Thank you Gary, Jennifer and your family!

Wedding Celebration for a friend

The property was perfect. We all had our own rooms with our own on suites. The layout lends itself to gatherings whether in the open concept kitchen/dining area or the amazing back porch. We loved the back porch and spent much of our time there chatting and relaxing and sipping some great wine. We are talking about a fall trip back to the area. Hope it will be available once we find some dates that work for all us. The brownies were delish and were a big hit. Since I was the first to arrive someone assumed I made then. I made sure the hosts received the credit. The little things are the big things that made our stay so perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Campbell

Host profile image
We are a Christian homeschool family of five that loves to experience education and not just read it from a text book. This home has blessed us with the ability to travel more often and give our children experiences we could otherwise not afford. Born and raised right here in Williamsburg, I am the lucky father of this great family. After graduating from James Madison University and spending time in Atlanta, Georgia, Branson, Missouri, Fort Smith, Arkansas and Springfield, Missouri to name a few, my wife and I realized growing and raising our family in my beautiful hometown of Williamsburg, Virginia among grandparents and childhood friends couldn't be beat. A 25 year veteran of the restaurant industry, I am finally in the second and most fulfilling chapter of my life, due in large part to the success of this rental, but most importantly due to my faith in our Lord and Savior. After years and countless hours in the restaurant business filled with long work weeks, missed birthdays and holidays and time spent away from my growing family, The Lord put it on my heart to put that aside and focus on what should have been my primary mission, being a true father to my children and the spiritual leader of my household.
I am blessed with a family that has a heart for God and is active in spreading the Gospel. My beautiful wife over the years has served on Outreach and Mission Teams and lead numerous groups of missionaries into Mexico to spread the Gospel while building houses for families in need. Her current mission field is homeschooling our two daughters with the addition of two of their friends. She has an unwavering passion for pouring into young girls both educationally and spiritually!
Thank YOU for helping make this possible!

Why they chose this property

Our forever home and slice of heaven is located on 6 acres that backs to 800 acres of additional farmland. The only immediate structure nearby is the caretaker's house which is located adjacent to ours on the 6 acres. My wife and I carefully designed our home with the help of a local architect and then proceeded the custom build with my wife overseeing the process from start to finish. This open concept floor plan makes great use of all available space. Whether your preparing a gourmet meal, sitting down to a holiday feast or entertaining in the living room, you're never out of the conversation!

What makes this property unique

Need to relax after a long day at Busch Gardens, Water Country USA or Colonial Williamsburg then just retire to the enormous covered back deck that overlooks the woods and crops in the field. The huge deck is equipped with dual ceiling fans, speakers, an oversized 7 burner Jenn-Air stainless steel gas grill, seating for all guests, a fire table for your enjoyment on those cool nights and yet still room to spare! The covered back deck has been a VRBO's fan favorite for morning coffee, family reunions, wedding anniversaries, birthday celebrations and even Yoga Class.
Kids and grownups a like have also thoroughly enjoyed gathering and consuming the fresh eggs the chickens on the property provide. Help yourself!
We are located in close proximity to Busch Gardens, Water Country USA, Colonial Williamsburg and numerous golf courses and wedding venues.
