This was our second stay at this amazingly peaceful property. My favorite feature is the surround windows in the master bedroom, being able to have the fresh air and sounds of the water at night. Had everything we could possibly need. Thank you Shannon for being an excellent host!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our visit over Labor Day weekend. The house is well equipped and perfectly decorated, and there's plenty to do outside as well. Swimming/kayaking in the river, fishing off the two docks, soaking in the hot tub, or just lounging in one of the many spots around the property. We had a great time shopping at Nuttall's and walking in downtown Gloucester. There are many other things to do within a 30-45min drive, but we couldn't find a reason to leave :)

The cottage was adorable. Very clean and stocked with everything you could need. The surrounding scenery was magnificent. Close to every restaurant imaginable. Close to local parks. Definitely coming back. Tammy B

This was a girls trip with my daughters (ages 17 & 12) and 16yo niece. We were excited to travel to the east coast, when we generally travel west. Easy keyless entry. Very comfortable home on the water of the Ware River. There is a great room upstairs and smaller bedroom on main floor. All rooms very clean. Fresh linens and towels. Kitchen fully supplied except toaster. Screened in porch for reading and meals. Also reading and relaxing chairs on ground floor of property with hot tub. This house served all of our needs for the trip. Access to 2 docks. We took the kayaks out our first morning to watch sunrise. We brought our own life jackets since we are seasoned kayakers. I didn't look but assume they supply life jackets. I was disappointed to not receive communication back from the owner on two points. I had sent a message 2months prior to our visit about potential areas for Ebike or segway tours in order to plan some events for the week. I did not receive a message back from her until the 2nd day of vacation. Also, the electricity went out (effects of Hurricane Debby) on last night of the stay. I let owner know (as I'm sure they were also aware since they live walking distance away). The firealarm then went off repeatedly at 1am until I could disarm it. We were not warned that we would not have water (from well) when electricity went out. We made due without water next morning and left earlier than planned since it was so hot/humid without air conditioning.

This is one of the cleanest rentals we have ever stayed in. The area is very quiet and is not a tourist trap. The kayaks were wonderful. Great VRBO A++

From the moment we pulled into the drive we knew we were going to LOVE this place! Very private and quiet, but located 15mins from the stores/restaurants in town. You cannot beat this view!! the cottage was wonderfully decorated and very clean. The kitchen had everything you needed including seasonings you may have forgotten. Loved the master shower and how the AC kept everything cool even when it was 95 degrees. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub was clean. Lots of little extra touches....wine glasses, beach chair, kayaks etc. We always had a nice breeze at the patio. Got up early and sat on the dock with coffee. Great communication from Shannon. Cute general store close by. I have to mention that im very surprised being this close to the water and being so hot, there werent any bugs or mosquitoes at all!

Absolutely gorgeous views! The home has an open floor plan with tons of natural light. The decorating is immaculate and you feel right at home. The owner even put together a book with restaurants, local history and places to visit. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Another wonderful to trip to our favorite river house! We enjoyed the water and sunshine. The new furniture was nice! The house was clean ready for us to enjoy! Can’t wait to go back next year. ☺️
