Weekend getaway

Cute cottage in a beautiful setting...perfect for a quiet getaway and close enough to Williamsburg and Yorktown for easy day trips. Lots of room to roam and walk the dogs. Had everything we needed for a long weekend stay and communication with host was great.

Wonderful holiday

We spent the Christmas holiday at the Cottage at Jameslin. The house was perfect for our needs. The fireplace was awesome and added that cosy touch. The amenities were well supplied and thoughtfully placed. The yard was perfect for our furry family member and was great for a mildly chilly walk. We really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return.

Four Day Getaway

Sam and Mark were a pleasure to work with. We enjoyed our time on the river canoeing and watching the wildlife, and our golden lab thoroughly enjoyed her first canoe adventure. The layout of the house and the screened in porch were perfect for us.

Great property. We really enjoyed our stay. Glad we arrived the first time in daylight hours but loved being a little off the beaten track. We hope to return soon.

Peace and Tranquility

My only concern with my stay at this location is I I wished I could have stayed longer. Cozy Cottage on the beautiful Severn River. It was peace and tranquility at its finest. We loved our short stay. Sam and Mark were fantastic with information, details and recommendations in the area. We would love to return one day for a longer stay and explore more of the Yorktown/Williamsburg area. Thank you Mark and Sam for your beautiful home.

Great property for a relaxing stay

We loved staying at the cottage and couldn't have been happier with the owners and their respect for our privacy. We had 3 dogs with us and this home was fantastic to allow the dogs to go on walks and us to fish, canoe, and enjoy the outdoors.

Lucky to find this place!

My family and I absolutely loved it here. My wife's quote was "It felt enough like home to take the stress out of traveling". My kids loved it, I loved it, and the dogs had tons of room to run. Beautiful property. I could really go on and on. Mark and Sam were great to deal with. And my kids wanted to send one more pet and hello to Chop Chop!

Peaceful place

Nice property. We were looking for a calm place to hang out on the water, and this place was perfect. Lots of space to walk the dog, and the little pond with a fountain and cabana area was a bonus. Communication with the host was not great, but apparently he was having cell phone problems. I would definitely recommend this rental. Bring strong mosquito repellant!

Anniversary weekend

Cozy, comfortable cottage on the water. Very relaxing, and quiet. Close to Willaimsburg/Yorktown/Glouchester with all the historic attractions. House has a gas log fireplace and one rainy evening enjoyed sitting by the fire and watching tv and reading.
