Cozy cottage on the Chesapeake Bay

Quiet peaceful home by the Chesapeake Bay. Wooded area with Loblolly pines and oak trees. Beautiful walking areas. Bird watchers dream...Bald eagles, Osprey, bluebirds, martins, buntings, woodpeckers, swans, geese, ducks, and migratory birds. Incredible views of the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Pianktank.

Wake up to the sun rising along the bay and relax watching the sunset on the bay. Can go fishing off the dock. A small grill is available for cooking near the picnic table. The area is full of mariner history back to Captain John Smith visiting Gywn's Island. The charming area still thrives from oysters and crab watermen. Water activities nearby. Be sure not to miss the local markets and seafood festivals

Fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.

Wonderful trip to the coast

The property was easy to find using the directions provided by the host. The house was very clean and had everything and more that we could need. The view is definitely the star of the show. It was absolutely beautiful. We had a wonderful stay and would love to go back again someday!!

My third stay and can't wait to return!

I enjoy this cottage so much that I have booked a month-long visit twice and hope to do it again next year. The cottage is located at the end of the Piankatank River where it empties into the Chesapeake Bay. The views from the cottage, deck, and pier are lovely with incredible sunsets and sunrises. It is well stocked, very clean and comfortable. The hostess is quick to respond if there are any issues that need attention. To sum it all up, the stay there is almost like being at home but much more peaceful!

the week was HOT!!! (100 degrees) but the house was cool, clean, comfortable and well stocked. The view of the river/bay was breathtaking. Secluded and quiet which is what we were looking for. My husband wants to come back and he's hard to please. We had good communication with the owner when we had questions. Amazed how well-stocked this property was. We'll be back!!!

Great Stay!

Second time we’ve stayed. My niece has stayed here before, too. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here, even though we spent most of it away from the house with family nearby. We did get to see the spectacular sunset one night though. It was amazing!

What a view

Our stay was really great. We took a long weekend trip on our motorcycles to visit the area. The home was great and had everything we needed, and I can’t say enough about the view. Sitting outside in the morning and drinking coffee was wonderful. We saw dolphins out in the river so cool. We visited the town of Mathews and ate there twice. Restaurants had good food. Went to Gwynn’s island and ate at the hole in the wall it had good food and it’s a beautiful island. We visited the town of Smithfield and Gloucester great places to take a ride. Thanks to Glenda for letting us stay in her home and we would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time staying at this property. The views were incredible. The area was wonderful. Not far from Gloucester. Several area beaches were nearby. The hosts provided a nice info packet for us. The place was clean and comfortable. Great place for a weekend getaway!
