About this bed and breakfast

Nestled in Chesapeake Bay, this lovely bed and breakfast for $133 per night is a great option for your next trip. Welcome to this guesthouse garage apartment on the North River in Gloucester. Enjoy a quiet retreat at this private setting overlooking both a river and a creek in Gloucester County. The property is a separate building from the owners' house, and is very private. Nestled in an area of historic estates and down a long country lane, this guest house apartment offers a base for exploring the Historic Triangle – Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown -- only a half hour to fifty minutes away. You can also explore the rural counties of Gloucester and Mathews with historic courthouses and charming shops. While the property feels away-from-it all, it is only five miles from the village of Gloucester Courthouse with restaurants, grocery stores, a gourmet shop with prepared foods, and clothes and jewelry and gift shops. It is also a short drive from an historic country store on neighboring Ware Neck that has both prepared foods and a wine shop, and it is near the world-renowned gardens of Brent and Becky's Bulbs. A canoe and two kayaks are available for paddling or fishing. Country walks, birding, or quiet reading on a deck overlooking both a river and a creek are relaxing pastimes that await you. Guests also have access to the owners' private dock and can fish from the dock, the shore or the kayaks. The apartment contains 1 separate bedroom, a large living room with kitchenette and dining nook, 1 bathroom, and a comfortable deck overlooking woods and water. The deck can comfortably seat 4 for meals. The bedroom has a queen bed, and the living room has a couch that turns into a queen size futon bed. The space is most comfortable for individuals, a couple, or a couple with a child or two. With the convertible couch in the living room, the property can accommodate up to four adults. It is a perfect place to chill out for a quiet week, few weeks or weekend, or to use as a base for touring the many historic areas in Tidewater Virginia. Longer term stays are also welcome. There are many cultural activities in Jamestown, Yorktown, and Colonial Williamsburg in addition to the historic sites themselves. The villages of Gloucester and Mathews also have various festivals and events throughout the year. This area of Gloucester County was once known as the "Venice of Tidewater," and today is still known as the "land of life worth living." In this era of Covid 19, we can assure travelers that the guesthouse is professionally cleaned with enhanced cleaning practices. The property is very private and guests can avoid any crowds. There is opportunity for country walks and boating on the river and creek right here. At the guesthouse Wifi is available through a Verizon Jetpack. Businesses, restaurants and attractions in Virginia have varying plans to re-open gradually so it is important to check with the business in advance.

A beautiful waterfront setting, a very clean and bright VRBO unit, and really nice hosts! There are lots of interesting places all around the Gloucester / Yorktown area to visit, and the people are all very friendly! Five stars all the way!

This is the cleanest rental that I have ever been in. There are plenty of linens and towels, books, games, amazing sunrises and sunsets, and easy access to restaurants. We were in the area for the Historic Triangle. Location is great, easy to get in, and the hostess is informative and caring. The rental is spacious and on a beautiful property. We are already planning another trip for next year.

This property is amazing. Rural but close to amenities. We saw squirrels, deer with fawns, turkeys, raccoons, and a fox. We were able to kayak and enjoy the water. Would have loved to stay longer!!!
