2 Bedroom House in Ware, Gloucester

Welcome to this guesthouse garage apartment on the North River in Gloucester! Enjoy a quiet retreat at this private setting overlooking both a river and a creek in Gloucester County. The property is a separate building from the owners' house, and is very private. Nestled in an area of historic estates and down a long country lane, this guest house apartment offers a base for exploring the Historic Triangle – Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown -- only a half hour to fifty minutes away. You can also explore the rural counties of Gloucester and Mathews with historic courthouses and charming shops. While the property feels away-from-it all, it is only five miles from the village of Gloucester with restaurants, grocery stores, a gourmet shop with prepared foods, and clothes and jewelry and gift shops. It is also a short drive from an historic country store on neighboring Ware Neck that has both prepared foods and a wine shop, and it is near the world-renowned gardens of Brent and Becky's Bulbs. A canoe and two kayaks are available for paddling or fishing. Country walks, birding, or quiet reading on a deck overlooking both a river and a creek are relaxing pastimes that await you. Guests also have access to the owners' private dock and can fish from the dock, the shore or the kayaks.
The apartment contains 1 separate bedroom, a large living room with kitchen and dining nook, 1 bathroom, and a comfortable deck overlooking woods and water. The deck can comfortably seat 4 for meals. The bedroom has a queen bed, and the living room has a couch that turns into a queen size futon bed. The space is most comfortable for individuals, a couple, or a couple with a child or two. With the convertible couch in the living room, the property can accommodate up to four adults. It is a perfect place to chill out for a quiet week, few weeks or weekend, or to use as a base for touring the many historic areas in Tidewater Virginia. Longer term stays are also welcome. There are many cultural activities in Jamestown, Yorktown, and Colonial Williamsburg in addition to the historic sites themselves. The villages of Gloucester and Mathews also have various festivals and events throughout the year. This area of Gloucester County was once known as the "Venice of Tidewater," and today is still known as the "land of life worth living." There is opportunity for country walks and boating on the river and creek right here. Wifi is available through a Verizon Jetpack. Come for a visit to our beautiful area!

Summary: Very nice property on the Chesapeake Bay. Detached one bedroom upstairs over owners garage. Owners house on property also. Owners were very helpful with lots of good information on things to do in the area. Water view with many beautiful trees. Very secluded on private lane.

Summary: Great place to stay and the owners were lovely! Our kids are 6 and 9 so it was fine to sleep 4. If they were older we would need more space. Loved using the canoe and kayaks! The dock was great to swim from when the tide was high. I’d recommend this place to a couple seeking a quiet spot!

Summary: My husband and I stayed in this charming apartment for 4 nights and couldn’t have been more pleased! The hosts were gracious and helpful. We told them that we were planning to visit Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown and Anne was kind enough to let me know the places to go see if it was too hot or raining. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and everything was very clean. Beautiful property. We would definitely stay there again!

Summary: The property was perfect! Easy to get to and not too far off the beaten path but far enough for solitude. The amenities were just what we needed. I was with my parents who are in their 80's and even though there are steps it was not too difficult for them to get up the stairs. Anne was a gracious hostess who greeted us when we arrived and made sure we had what we need. I highly recommend this property to anyone planning a visit to the Gloucester area.

Summary: My husband and I have stayed at this property multiple times over the last few years when in the area to visit family, and every time has been fantastic. The cottage is clean, very comfortable and well-furnished, and all our needs are met. The property is very quiet, beautiful, and safe. Anne and Davis are great at communicating and checking in with us during our stay. Our experiences across all our stays at this property over the years have been very consistent and positive. We will continue staying here every time we are in the area, and are so happy we found this place. I highly recommend this property.
