Historic Cottage on Ware River Estate
Come spend your vacation in this quiet, peaceful setting on the Ware River. This charming and romantic 2 story cottage has hand hewn post and peg construction dating to the 1890's. There are fireplaces in both the living room and bedroom with ceiling fans in the bedroom and on the front porch. Just in front of the cottage is a restored icehouse used to store vegetables and dairy with blocks of ice brought from up north by steamboats down the Chesapeake Bay. The waterfront is a short stroll down our private oyster shell drive and has a pier with a floating dock, table, chairs and fishing gear. This is a perfect spot for watching our beautiful sunsets while enjoying a glass of wine, fishing, crabbing, or launching your canoe or kayak. The Cottage is 1 hr from Richmond or Norfolk, 2 hours from DC, 45 min from Williamsburg, 30 min from Yorktown, and 20 minutes to the Arts and waterman community of Mathews. It provides a great home base for exploring this beautiful and diverse region of Virginia.
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 â extremely helpful and responsive. We will definitely look to come back!
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 Oliviaâs 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.
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.
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
We really enjoyed visiting the historic cottage and learning more about the history of the estate from our host. Fascinating! It is a beautiful spot. There's even a historic ice house right there. The cottage itself was so interesting, especially the upstairs with its high ceiling and I loved the quilt. However, the stairs are steep. You can take a little walk past the garden to the dock with beautiful views on the Ware River.
Partner and I stayed here with our elderly dog for a weekend getaway. The cottage itself is lovely; immaculate and very tastefully decorated. All we needed was provided and then some. Location is rural but a quick drive to amenities and Gloucester Court House's Main Street is a must as is the nearby Nuttall Country Store---the Dean and Deluca of Ware Neck :-) Yorktown and Williamsburg are a short drive down 17S. We enjoyed crabbing off the dock which is adjacent and available to guests of the cottage. Owners and neighbors were extremely friendly. Overall highly recommended and we plan to stay again.
Cute cabin. Porch was perfect in the morning. Listening to the birds while drinking coffee was relaxing. Location was perfect as we have family in Onemo. It was a relaxing & perfect.
