About this house rental
Ware Haven Cottage is located on the Ware River in Gloucester County, VA. - a 20-minute run by boat to the Chesapeake Bay. Enjoy quiet seclusion in a peaceful setting with 270-degree water views, while being only moments from fine dining and shopping in the historic Gloucester Courthouse area. Spend time outside quietly observing the family of bald eagles and other birds like osprey, blue herons, and cranes who nest on the grounds. You may also witness a small pod of dolphins enjoying a playful swim down the river.
Located only minutes from the Virginia Historic Triangle - Yorktown, Jamestown, and Williamsburg, this charming, well-maintained cottage boasts beautiful craftsmanship on the inside and breathtaking views outside. The two-bedroom, one-bath home sleeps six. Fully furnished kitchen, two Smart TVs, kayaks, in-ground swimming pool, and lawn games. With over 200’ frontage on the Ware River waterfront, additional privacy provided by the inlet on the right, and beautiful wooded acreage behind, the Ware Haven Cottage offers peaceful privacy year-round. A boat dock is available for docking your boat or jet ski. The mean low tide at the end of the pier is 4 feet. Enjoy swimming, fishing, kayaking, boating, or just relaxing while the kids play basketball, yard games, or swing on the swingset! You may choose to relax in the 20x40’ inground pool during swim season (end of May through late September) with extensive pool decking, great for relaxing with a cold drink and an excellent book. The large screened-in front porch offers long river views any time of day. Enjoy the large fire pit when it gets cooler outside. It’s perfect for marshmallow roasting and making s'mores!

10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Beautiful area, pool was pristine, water view - Eagle, gulls, big blue. Downtown Gloucester 9 minutes, great Thai/Japanese restaurant. Grilled out one night. Quiet, lovely neighbors too. We are older, the stairs to the upstairs are steep,but good railing, bathroom downstairs so middle of the night visit took a little thought. :)Clean, well stocked, screened porch, rocking chairs, delightful!

8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Beautiful setting. Loved the views, screened porch and pool. Unfortunately the bedroom situation wasn’t a good match for us due to the steep narrow steps to loft queen. If you wish a tranquil setting and a charming cottage this meets the bill.
