Historic Cottage on Ware River Estate

We had an amazing stay here I only wish we had more time to fish on the pier and explore more. We plan to return soon. Our 4 year old daughter loved the treehouse and tire swing they had as well! The history of the place is very interesting and the gardens are nice we got to drink our coffee and watch the hummingbirds.

We enjoyed our brief, restful stay at this historic cottage. Located on a secluded estate, it feels like stepping back in time. With a brief walk down to the river dock, we were delighted to observe a pair of ospreys nesting on the nearby platform.

Sherri was very easy to communicate with. John was very personable and welcoming. The cottage was exactly as advertised. Very quiet and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Great location for visiting cute small towns, Gloucester and Matthews. Beach and fishing at Gloucester Point. Yorktown right across the bridge with its beautiful historic homes, shops, restaurants and beach.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage- it was so quaint and cozy and our dog loved it too! The setting is so lovely and peaceful. We hope to come back again when it's warmer to enjoy the water more fully.

Enjoyed our stay - loved the historical setting!

Nice and quiet.

I have used many air B&Bs and this one is by far my all-time favorite. The cottage was adorable and fully stocked with everything you could have asked for. The property was beautiful and so peaceful. This made a wonderful home away from home during my visit with my daughter and best friend. I will defiantly rent this home again!

Good time had by all!

We had a wonderful time!

We had a great relaxing time at the cottage the bed was really comfortable and enjoyed ourselves. We would definitely come back again.

This was an awesome place to stay. It was just as described, if possible even better. Great location and scenery. Close to all we wanted to visit. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Amazing cottage and grounds! We thoroughly enjoyed Sherri’s & John’s Middle Cottage at Glebefield! The unique, historical atmosphere f the property and buildings have been well cared-for, comfortable, and lent themselves to a restful stay. Excellent communication from Sherri. We look forward to visiting again sometime.

Tthe history of the property itself was amazing. Not to mention the surrounding area. The house was near to the community but also far enough out to be very quiet and peaceful. We loved the open floor plan of the main level but if you have issues with mobility, accessing the stairs to the second floor may be an issue.

This cottage was quaint, peaceful, and beautifully appointed. Everything you need for a quiet getaway. We absolutely loved it, and Sherri and John are the best hosts ever – extremely helpful and responsive. We will definitely look to come back!

This is our second time staying and we had a wonderful time. Sherri is a great host and very communicative. The Cottage is very clean and comfortable and has all the amenities one would need or expect. A great location for crabbing or fishing enthusiasts.

Absolutely stunning property and adorable cottage.

The cottage was just as described, well appointed and equipped.Property was secluded, just the right respite.Love the area and we will return again.

This is a lovely historical cottage on a peaceful and large property. Spring was a beautiful time to be there. Great home base for side trips to Yorktown. Highly recommend Olivia’s in the Village in Gloucester.

We enjoyed the quiet beauty of the little cottage. The decor fit the home beautifully. Everything one could need was provided. Our dog enjoyed being able to get in the yard and chase her frisbee. Our side trips around the area were wonderful. Highly recommend.

My husband and I loved our stay at the Middle Cottage! The setting was idyllic and the amenities were phenomenal. It was the perfect retreat from our busy lives in the city. The only thing of note is the steep staircase up to the second floor. If you have any sort of mobility issues, this may not be the spot for you. We enjoyed visiting downtown Gloucester and making a day-trip to Williamsburg. We also considered a dinner on Yorktown beach because of its easy access. We truly loved our stay and hope to be back very soon!

Everything was so charming and cozy! We appreciated the little holidy touches for our Christmas away from home. I would definitely come again when in the area!

My husband and I stayed at the cottage over a long weekend for our anniversary. We brought our dog and enjoyed a wonderful weekend. It was quiet and cozy! We also enjoyed talking with the neighbor about the history of the property. We definitely recommend!

The cottage was a wonderful place to get away and decompress. We loved the peaceful location and side trips to Williamsburg and Gloucester. Would love to return.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay here very much. The property was beautiful, and the dock fishing area was really cool. The town was cute and the restaurants we went to were delicious. We recommend staying here.

We love going to the Gloucester area. The ware river is tucked away off the beaten path and it is lovely and peaceful. This area is also very close to historic York, Williamsburg, Jamestown and Norfolk. So much to do. The cottage and the surrounding grounds are historic as well and very well taken care of. It was a pleasure to stay here.

It is a lovely location and the cottage is very nice. The steps to the only bathroom are very, very steep. If someone is older, it would be difficult for them. Also, I had the impression that the kitchen garden was attached to the house a well as the river being closer. The distance to each was not too far and both were lovely to see.

Nice and peaceful cottage! Found everything we needed and more. Thank you for hosting us.

Highly recommend this property for a retreat to renew your spirit.

Nice place to rest and relax.

Hi.. I was expecting just a peaceful, quiet, and relaxing couple of days and was not disappointed. Check in was extremely easy and the communication leading up to it was perfect. The entire time was special. Thank you.

We had a very

Lovely cottage in beautiful setting. Half mile tree lined drive, well kept garden and great dock by the river. John and Sherrie are super hosts and very responsive. Would like to see a printout with a short history of the cottage and the area Thank you John And Sherrie for everything
