Cozy cottage on the Chesapeake Bay

Quiet peaceful home by the Chesapeake Bay. Wooded area with Loblolly pines and oak trees. Beautiful walking areas. Bird watchers dream...Bald eagles, Osprey, bluebirds, martins, buntings, woodpeckers, swans, geese, ducks, and migratory birds. Incredible views of the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Pianktank.

Wake up to the sun rising along the bay and relax watching the sunset on the bay. Can go fishing off the dock. A small grill is available for cooking near the picnic table. The area is full of mariner history back to Captain John Smith visiting Gywn's Island. The charming area still thrives from oysters and crab watermen. Water activities nearby. Be sure not to miss the local markets and seafood festivals

Fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

The house is not fancy but is clean, comfortable and wonderful! The view - waterfront is amazing! We spent most of our time on the dock, reading, bird watching (there is an osprey nest right there and was so much fun to watch), happy hour, etc.! The sunrises and sunsets were incredible! You can see both from the dock! We had good late lunches on Gwens Island, in Mathews, and in Deltaville! Ate some great raw oysters!! Wish I could live here!!!

the week was HOT!!! (100 degrees) but the house was cool, clean, comfortable and well stocked. The view of the river/bay was breathtaking. Secluded and quiet which is what we were looking for. My husband wants to come back and he's hard to please. We had good communication with the owner when we had questions. Amazed how well-stocked this property was. We'll be back!!!

What a view

Our stay was really great. We took a long weekend trip on our motorcycles to visit the area. The home was great and had everything we needed, and I can’t say enough about the view. Sitting outside in the morning and drinking coffee was wonderful. We saw dolphins out in the river so cool. We visited the town of Mathews and ate there twice. Restaurants had good food. Went to Gwynn’s island and ate at the hole in the wall it had good food and it’s a beautiful island. We visited the town of Smithfield and Gloucester great places to take a ride. Thanks to Glenda for letting us stay in her home and we would definitely stay here again.

My third stay and can't wait to return!

I enjoy this cottage so much that I have booked a month-long visit twice and hope to do it again next year. The cottage is located at the end of the Piankatank River where it empties into the Chesapeake Bay. The views from the cottage, deck, and pier are lovely with incredible sunsets and sunrises. It is well stocked, very clean and comfortable. The hostess is quick to respond if there are any issues that need attention. To sum it all up, the stay there is almost like being at home but much more peaceful!

Wasn’t what we expected!!!

When we got to the property, the neighbors came out with their dogs and watched us as we unloaded our car. When we entered the house we noticed that the front door and the living room didn’t have curtains!!! The whole feeling of this place felt weird, we decided not to stay at all

Perfect weekend

The house was perfect for our weekend. Great views! The house had everything we needed. Appreciated all the extras like toilet paper, paper towels, condiments, coffee, and more. Super easy to check out. Sidenote, the only TV is in the master bedroom. Would probably be useful if the TV stand had wheels so it could be pulled into the living room for everybody to watch a movie. The house is 15 minutes away from a small winery, with tons of wine and food options and the town of Matthews, with a lot of antique shops.
