| Our small family of 5 (including 2 kids and a dog) spent 4th of July week at the cottage on the James River. What a wonderful vacation...so far away from it all but close enough to enjoy Busch Gardens, WaterCountry USA and Colonial Williamsburg etc, etc, etc.. The cottage is completely private, cozy, comfortable and spotlessly clean. It's a simple place that reminded me of my uncles cabin up in the poconos (with the added amenities of heat and water ;-) ) It was a wonderful place to have quiet family time playing games or loud splashing fun on the beach! The girls loved collecting shells, swimming in the river and finding sharks teeth (we found over 50!) (You may want to bring swim shoes though due to the number of shells on the beach - which was unbelievable to us!) Fishing was fantastic...no wait for bites and we pulled in fish after fish which was exciting for all of us. We had visits from box turtles, foxes, lizards, hawks and deer. The property affords many opportunities for shutter bugs as well. The (free!?!? - unheard of)ferry rides to Williamsburg even added to the experience. The girls even enjoyed feeding the seagulls from the ferry! At night, after complete exhaustion at the parks, clean comfy beds and white fluffy towels awaited us. The kitchen was well stocked for the days we 'cooked in' and we enjoyed s'mores on the bbq grill while rocking away in the rocking chairs on the deck :-) All in all a wonderful place with wonderful people to work with to set up your vacation...great communication, friendly and helpful...If you are looking for something a bit different during your stay near Williamsburg, I highly recommended this property and the owners!
