Wonderful stay at Bee Haven!

Beautiful cottage in a quiet, scenic neighborhood. Loved sitting on the front porch in the morning. Our hosts thought of everything! Well stocked with everything and more than we needed. Plenty of space for us - close to lots of restaurants and historical locations - easy check-in and check-out. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend!

Adorable Cottage

We had a great time, the location was beautiful. We did have a tree fall, which ended blocking the road back to the cottage during a storm. I was panicking our family pet was alone. I did call and I was called immediately contacted by owner to help guide us back to the cottage.

Great stay!

The little Bee Haven cottage is spotlessly clean and so well equipped. Beds are comfortable and with a living room and small den, the two of us were very comfortable, as would be a party of four. The area of Virginia where the cottage is located is so beautiful and tho the cottage was not in the middle of activities (which suited us just fine) it was easy to access Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. The front porch is a definite plus as are the crab cakes down the road at the Nuttall Market!
