About this property
Cozy Cabin Getaway with Beautiful Sunsets on York River, minutes from Yorktown
There are special events that take place in our area thru the year, that are close to our property.
Howl-0-Scream is now open at Busch Gardens on select days.
Soon it will be time to enjoy the millions of sparkling lights at Cristmas Town on select days.
Busch Gardens is only about 20 minutes from our cabin. Book soon before availability is gone.
Also the Coleman Bridge crossing from Yorktown to Gloucester no longer has a toll, Yay!
Now about our Cabin Getaway:
As of July 3rd 2024, there is new/updated carpet in the living/ dining area and the bedroom.
There is WIFI in the cabin. So you can keep in touch with family or work while you are on vacation in our relaxing cabin!! Also have made a driveway up to the cabin for easier access.
Must be 21 years old to rent this cabin and show a valid drivers license if asked by the owners.
We are 2 minutes away from Historical Yorktown and close to much more.We're minutes away from the beautiful Colonial Parkway going to Historic Williamsburg,13 miles from Busch Gardens Amusement Park, Water Country Water Park,close to Historic Jamestown, Williamsburg Pottery Factory, 11 miles from an Airport, Great Golf Courses all around, 1 hour from Virginia Beach, Great Fishing,1 mile to Boat Ramp and launch, Historic Guided Tours, Living History Tours, Wine Tasting Tours, Festivals on the beach, July 4th Fireworks and Celebrations, Market days at Yorktown, Great shopping, Restaurants,Seafood Festivals, Daffodil Festival, and concerts. So much to do for every taste and so close to it all.
Our 1 bedroom Hilltop Hideaway on the York River is the perfect place for a Romantic Weekend or a great place to stay for the week and be so close to many FUN THINGS to do. So bringing the kids would be great too.We do allow pets as well,with an added nightly fee. There is Historical Yorktown just 2 minutes away, Colonial Williamsburg and all its glory, Jamestown, Busch Gardens Amusement Park just 13 miles away and Water Country USA Park 11 miles. There is great shopping, with the Williamsburg Pottery factory 18 miles away, several Malls, and my favorite, Walmart. Restaurants, Wine Tasting Tours, Historical Guided Tours, Great Golf Courses, Virginia Beach only an hour away, Seafood and Daffodil Festivals, Concerts on the Yorktown Beach all summer, 4th of July Fireworks on the York River that can be enjoyed from the beach. There is room to park a trailer for whatever you bring. So much to do that a informational booklet will be supplied inside.
AS OF 4/1/2019, New living room furniture. Replaced the sleeper sofa with a new recliner sofa and added a rocker recliner as well. Have a very comfortable memory foam cot for an extra guests, along with the couch.The sleeper sofa needed to go. This furniture is so much more comfy!!
The cabin was renovated in 2010, with vinyl siding, windows, french doors leading out to screened porch, king size bed, stone fireplace, with electric logs, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and blender. The outside is a continual work in progress by us, weather permitting.But the cabin is cozy with a beautiful stone electric fireplace,that can be used year round for ambience.. Exposed log beams in the tall a-frame ceiling. Front porch looking right out to the beautiful sunsets over the York River and even a closer view from the outside deck.Your own beach down below the deck, just a few steps away to enjoy, with a view across the river to Yorktown Beach. ***SWIMMING IN THE RIVER IS AT YOUR OWN RISK!***We also suggest swim shoes, because the York River is a Tidal River!!
There are lots of fishing boats and jet skiers to watch going by and occasionally navy ships to see go thru the bridge. And the most beautiful Virginia sunsets you will ever see right out your front door !!!
You will need to supply all food and beverages for your stay. There is a Food Lion grocery store approx. 2 miles from the cabin. Please bring your own beach towels also.
SINCE THERE IS NO LAND LINE PHONE IN THE CABIN, A CELL PHONE IS A MUST, FOR EMERGENCIES, OR TO CONTACT US DURING YOUR STAY FOR ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS.
Fishing license not needed on property, with registration # that can be done over the phone.We will supply the telephone number for your convienence.
Again SWIMMING IS AT YOUR OWN RISK and we suggest, for safety reasons, that everyone please bring water shoes, if you plan to go in the water. It is a tidal river, so things/objects are always washing in and out.

About the host
Hosted by Larry and Sheila Tinker

Owner: Sheila Poland Tinker. I grew up in Gloucester and graduated from Gloucester High in 1977. Married Larry Tinker in 1993, moved to Yorktown and had one beautiful daughter, Brittany.
Why they chose this property
This cabin has been in my family since 1941. It was being built by my grandfather and his 3 sons(my father was 7 at the time) when Pearl Harbor was being bombed. So it has a lot of memories in it for my family. My husband and I bought it from my 2 uncles in 1991 and now share 2/3 ownership with my dad. We have refurbished it and updated it without taking away the beautiful memories of the history. You can still see the handprints on the A- frame wood ceiling from where they had to place each piece.
This cabin means a lot to me and my family and we look forward to sharing it with you!

What makes this property unique
Beautiful stone fireplace with electric fire logs for ambience. French doors that open to the screened porch, where you can see the most beautiful sunsets on the York River. Can fish right from the property without getting a fishing license. (ask for details on confirmation number to do that). Very peaceful and quiet but still close to alot of fun things to do.
We will consider pets, but need to know full details beforehand. Have had trouble in the past and are now very cautious about allowing them, but understand how important they are to your family. We have 2 Yorkies of our own and love being able to take them with us.
