Grab some coffee or tea outside your suite and take a seat for a breathtaking sunrise. Enjoy books, puzzles, and games all while you soak up the 180˚ views of the James.

Ready for more adventure? Take a kayak down to the private community access and paddle around in the same waters early settlers took to Jamestown. Come back, light up the grill, and dine al fresco. After dinner you can set up for a few games of cornhole and then close the night with a fire, enjoying the sounds of the gentle river waves collapsing on the shore below.

Relaxing reunion of friends from college

The house was a perfect getaway for me and my three college friends—beautiful view, comfortable, well equipped, with kind and responsive owners. We especially loved the upstairs sitting area and the screened porch. We enjoyed the casual seafood restaurant just down the road and walking at a nearby state park. The ferry ride to Jamestown and Williamsburg was lovely and dependable. We highly recommend this relaxing home!

Relaxing Getaway

Loved the location right on the James River across from historic Jamestown. We enjoyed watching the sunrises on the river and kayaking the nearby wetlands. Our kids also greatly enjoyed riding the ferry to/from the house and the well-stocked kids room with toys and books. So many thoughtful features throughout the house. Lovely stay!

Home away from home <3

Stayed here for 5 weeks with 2 other co-workers and I cannot express how much we enjoyed it. The house was extremely clean, beautifully decorated and well cared for. The hosts, Dan and Sam were so easy to work with before, during, and after our stay. The view was absolutely stunning, and it was relaxing to sit on the porch or do puzzles in the upstairs sitting room, overlooking the river. I really hope to stay here again and would recommend The Scotland Shore House to anyone staying in Surry! Thank you again, Dan and Sam!

Why they chose this property

Surry, although remote and quiet, provides a front row seat to the views early settlers had as they sailed up the river into what became Jamestown. You will find eagles and osprey soaring through the trees, ships and ferries coming and going, and - if you're an early riser, breathtaking sunrises. Nearby you'll find the historical Smith's Fort Plantation and the public marina is just a short 5 minute drive from the house.
