Our Home Away from Home

SheilaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Sue was very communicative throughout our experience. She responded quickly to my initial message and each message thereafter. My trip was a bit last-minute, but it sure didn't feel that way! The cottage was perfect in every way! It was clean and cozy. It was just the right size. It truly felt like a home away from home. The resort was peaceful and included many activities. The resort staff was friendly, too! If I travel to Williamsburg for pleasure again, I would absolutely see if this cottage is available.

A two-story house with a light green exterior is surrounded by neatly trimmed bushes and trees. The roof features warm-toned shingles, and a welcoming front porch is supported by white columns. Steps lead up to the porch, enhancing the inviting entrance.

Lovely 3 bed cottage sleeps 10

CathyRating, 5 stars11 months ago

The cottage was clean and uncluttered. It was very comfortable, from the table to the couch to the beds. It had all the amenities needed for a week-long stay. It was in a safe and friendly gated resort neighborhood. As a group of four adult women, we loved the four bathrooms (3 full, 1 half) and four comfortable beds.

An in-ground pool boasts clear turquoise water, surrounded by lush greenery and palm trees. The serene view of the water extends in the background, creating a tranquil outdoor space for relaxation.

Cheerful free standing 4 bed 4 1/2 bath home

ChuckRating, 5 stars12 months ago

The check-in process, with the resort, includes repeated attempts to sign up for a timeshare presentation. The resort's activities center staff was rude when we signed up for an activity. The indoor and outdoor pools are great. The resort has a gym, but it's small and has limited equipment. The accommodations are clean and offers everything we were looking for. The furnishings could use updating though. The location is perfect for Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestowne Settlement, Water Country USA and Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

A charming two-story house features a light beige exterior with green shutters. A covered porch is supported by white columns, while the roof has slate shingles. Surrounding trees and shrubs add to the property's inviting curb appeal.

Historic Powhatan

Ashley was amazing! Super responsive and very proactive. we were originally scheduled at Historic Powhatan but they were having alot of construction so she moved us about a week prior to our stay to another resort that was comparable nearby. It worked out even better than we could have hoped. We loved the amenities and layout of our 2 bedroom 2 bath suite. 15 minutes from Busch Gardens. You really couldn't beat it - highly recommend using Ashley for your AirBnB needs.

Cozy Elegance- sleeps 12 with 3 full baths

JulieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This home was awesome. The back yard and fire place area was so relaxing in the evening. The house was adorable. We loved all of the decorations. The front porch was great for me to sit early in the morning and have a cup of coffee. There are a lot of different games Lisa has in the house for everyone to play in the evening after a day of visiting all the attractions. Lisa was great to provide a smore's basket for us. I would highly recommend this home to everyone.

Parkside Williamsburg | 3BR Next to Busch Gardens!

Beautiful house in an excellent location - short drive to all local attractions. Exceptionally private at the end of a cul-de-sac and bordering a small lake in the back. Extremely nice, colonial style home perfect for the area. Very open main floor with two living room / lounge areas and a nicely appointed kitchen and dining area. Furniture was all in excellent condition and very tasteful / quality. Bedrooms were large and luxurious, as were the two full bathrooms and first floor powder room. Easily fit 4 adults and 3 children and much more comfortable, spacious and private than a typical vacation “villa”. Exceeded our expectations! Bonus deck and grill in the back was a nice surprise with spectacular view of the lake!

The living room features a high ceiling and natural light from large windows. A cozy sofa faces a coffee table at the center, while two armchairs are placed nearby. A fireplace is positioned under a framed artwork, and stairs lead to an upper level.
