Beautiful Property
First, I did not realize how far off the beaten path the property was; however, it wasn't a difficult or treacherous drive. Once arriving, it was well worth it. The property is immaculate and provided all the basic needs to cook and enjoy the amenities. The river is beautiful, and watching it from the sunroom happened daily. I will definitely look at this property when returning, hopefully it will be warmer but the firepit offered warmth and smores when sitting out back enjoying the river view.

Trip with Dad
Quick trip to VA for dad to visit with family and friends. House was clean, updated, well furnished, and sized right for the trip. Cool weather prevented our use of all outside amenities. Showers/bathrooms were small. Televisions took awhile before channels loaded for viewing. Price seemed very reasonable until they added all of the fees and taxes that almost doubled the cost. Would still use again if travel to Gloucester in future...especially if price was better.
