  • Lovely cottage

    4/5

    A lovely cottage on a slough. Very convenient to Zimmerman Marine if you need work done on your yacht. Nice walk out to Mobjack. Isolated and quiet.

  • Quaint and very comfortable cottage

    5/5

    My spouse and I used this property while attending a large family Thanksgiving in nearby Mathews, VA. The property was easy to find and quite private, with only one other house in view. Check-in was as directed (but there was no clue how to lock the door when leaving --push and hold star button). The house is definitely old, but refreshingly renovated with bright, comfortable rooms. All appliances/features worked as expected, and they even had double-filtered water so there is no need to bring along bottled water. The only criticism we have is that the squeaky hinges to the bathroom door need oiled. We did not get to use the kayaks to paddle out to Mobjack Bay -- so we will definitely be back for that in warmer weather! Many thanks for letting us stay at your lovely and comfortable property.

    From the Owner: "Marvin, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay and plan to be back for warm-weather kayaking. It is the best! Next time, be sure to check out all the tips in our welcome book, as our almost 100-year-old cottage has the quirks of vintage property and the convenience of modern life. Thanks for letting us know it is time to oil the hinges!"

  • Fantastic!

    5/5

    The old home was full of character and charm! The location is very private and quiet! Really enjoyed our morning coffee on the dock! Speaking of coffee, we left a small can and a coffeemaker for the next guest! We drink too much coffee to use the French Press everyday😊. The only change that needs to be made on the listing is that there isn’t a washer and dryer! Thanks for sharing your delightful home!

    From the owner: "Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the character and charm of our home, as well as the peaceful location and your morning coffee on the dock. It’s wonderful to know that you left a coffeemaker for future guests, as we understand how much coffee lovers appreciate that convenience! Just to clarify regarding the washer and dryer, we do have them available just outside the back door, and this is also mentioned in our welcome notes and information. We appreciate your feedback and thank you again for sharing your experience, we hope to welcome you back soon!"
