Ware House | Charming Quiet Retreat on North River in Historic Gloucester, Virginia

2 Bedroom House in Ware, Gloucester

Welcome to this guesthouse garage apartment on the North River in Gloucester! Lots of special events are going on for the US 250th Anniversary in our region of American Colonial History. Enjoy a quiet retreat at this private setting overlooking both a river and a creek in Gloucester County. The guesthouse is a separate building from the owners' house, and is very private. Nestled in an area of historic estates and down a long country lane, this guest house apartment offers a base for exploring the nearby Historic Triangle – Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown -- the latter where we won the Revolutionary War. Check out the websites of these individual attractions for further information. You can also explore the rural counties of Gloucester and Mathews with historic courthouses and charming shops. While the property feels away-from-it-all, it is only five miles from the village of Gloucester with restaurants, grocery stores, a gourmet shop with prepared foods, and clothes and jewelry and gift shops. It is also a short drive to an historic country store on neighboring Ware Neck that has both prepared foods and a wine shop, and it is near the world-renowned gardens of Brent and Becky's Bulbs. A canoe and two kayaks are available for paddling or fishing. Country walks, birding, or quiet reading on a deck overlooking both a river and a creek are relaxing pastimes that await you. Guests also have access to the owners' private dock and can fish from the dock, the shore or the kayaks.
The apartment contains 1 separate bedroom, a large living room with kitchen and dining nook, 1 bathroom, and a deck overlooking woods and water. The deck can seat 4. The bedroom has a queen bed, and the living room has a couch that turns into a queen size futon bed so the space can accommodate 4 people. Guests say that the property is a great place to chill out for a quiet few days or week, or to use as a base for touring the many historic areas in Tidewater Virginia. Longer term stays are also welcome. There are many cultural activities in Jamestown, Yorktown, and Colonial Williamsburg in addition to the historic sites themselves. The villages of Gloucester and Mathews also have various festivals and events throughout the year, among them the Gloucester Daffodil Festival in late March and the Garden Club of Virginia Historic Garden Week tour in April. This area of Gloucester County was once known as the "Venice of Tidewater," and today is still known as the "land of life worth living." Internet service is available through a Verizon Jetpack. Come for a visit to beautiful Tidewater Virginia!
