Great restful retreat
This is a home away from home everything you need. You can hear the birds when you sit on the covered porch no trains or cars just peaceful and quiet. The decor is beautifully done. When you venture out Main Street has some great shoos and restaurants.

Great stay in ‘Bee’utiful place.
The cottage was what we wanted somewhere quiet but not too far from where we were going to. It was clean, instructions were detailed and easy to follow. We woke to birds and the back of the cottage was a wooded area. Our host was quickly responsive to communication.

Seriously, don't think twice about booking this property! It's in a beautiful, quiet setting and about an hour drive from countless attractions. We went to Williamsburg, short 45 minute drive through beautiful country. The property is exceptional! The host has thought of literally everything and well appointed.

We really enjoyed staying in this cozy little cottage! The beds are so comfortable and the house is decorated very cute! Shannon was so easy to communicate with throughout our stay. Unfortunately, we had to leave a day early because of Tropical Storm Ophelia, but would definitely consider staying here again if we come back to this area.
