    Bee Haven is a charming cottage tucked away in the most quiet neighborhood in Gloucester. I really enjoyed having my coffee out on the front porch in the morning. The area is lovely to drive around in. There is a grove of pine trees in the back that sound amazing when the wind is blowing.

    We had a great time, the location was beautiful. We did have a tree fall, which ended blocking the road back to the cottage during a storm. I was panicking our family pet was alone. I did call and I was called immediately contacted by owner to help guide us back to the cottage.

    The little Bee Haven cottage is spotlessly clean and so well equipped. Beds are comfortable and with a living room and small den, the two of us were very comfortable, as would be a party of four. The area of Virginia where the cottage is located is so beautiful and tho the cottage was not in the middle of activities (which suited us just fine) it was easy to access Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. The front porch is a definite plus as are the crab cakes down the road at the Nuttall Market!

    We had a delightful stay at this charming cottage. It boasted more space than we needed, and the bathroom was absolutely fantastic. The cozy couches and beds were comfortable, and the spacious kitchen was a chef’s delight. The secluded location added to the overall charm of the place. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway. The host provided an extensive list of recommendations in the area which was very helpful.

    This adorably decorated home is situated in a quiet, tree-dense neighborhood with easy access to the highway if you’re spending the day outside of town. The town of Gloucester is quaint, filled with friendly people, and many dining options. The host made the stay easy, welcoming, and lovely. The home is absolutely sweet. Comfy decor, very clean, great kitchen, and comfy beds. Parking is ample and the views from every window are picturesque. The only “word of caution” is that the water does have a sulphur-ic odor so def bring bottled water (although host does provide a water filter - the smell was still present). I think this is not an indication of anything wrong - it may be typical to the area. All in all, I would stay there again and highly recommend this home.
