The cottage setting was so peaceful. We took advantage of the tiki hut for dinner and card games. The cottage was very nicely appointed - clean, beautifully done. We would definitely stay again if we visit the area.

If you are looking for a peaceful place to take your dog, this is it. Lots of wildlife, and plenty of birdwatching. The water was very relaxing to be by. The cozy little cottage would be perfect for a small family.

Beautiful location- fairly secluded with wildlife and access to water, and is the perfect place to bring the pups. House has cute waterside cottage vibes, and is stocked with almost anything you would need. The property owners were very nice and accommodating.

The cottage was a very nice place to stay. It has everything you could need. Its also a very secluded area, so if thats something that you like, then youll enjoy your stay. Bush Gardens and Williamsburg are only 30-35 minutes away. We enjoyed our 3 day stay here, thank you Mark and Sam.

Hosts were excellent as well as the cottage Any questions were answered promptly and the cabin was well equipped and had a relaxing vibe. We loved coming back to the welcoming cottage's screened porch after a day of sight seeing and just enjoying the river view and being serenaded by the sounds of nature. Sam and Mark share their dock with guests and we saw a beautiful sunset from there on our last evening. The tiki bar was another relaxing place on site that guests are privy to enjoy. Another plus was their pet friendly policy. Would definitely recommend this cozy cottage which is also close to the historical triangle of Yorktown, Jamestown, and Williamsburg.Busch Gardens and a waterpark are also close by.

We had a wonderful stay at The Cottage at Jameslin for the long Labor Day weekend! The cottage was just the right fit for our family of 4 (16 and 12 years old boys, 2 adults) plus our dog. Our youngest even opted to sleep on the living room couch because it was so comfortable! The owners were super accommodating and communication was quick and easy. They even let us take one of their canoes out for some water fun. Our dog loved to run around the property and check out all of the fish the boys caught. The kitchen was perfect for cooking meals and fully stocked. The cottage was an easy drive to Busch Gardens, Yorktown, and Williamsburg, and we really enjoyed our time relaxing. Thank you for a great stay!

This cottage has everything that you may wish for in a country , lakeside setting. There is lots of outdoor space for pets and kids to play. The lake (Severn river) is just steps away with a private dock for fishing. A short walk up the driveway there is also a Tikki bar with a deck and a pond for small bass fishing. The cottage itself was extremely clean and had plenty of towels, linens, cookware, and appliances to make our stay very comfortable. Sam and Mark are wonderful hosts and were extremely accommodating. I highly recommend this property for anyone who has pets and loves a country setting with access to many of the attractions in the area.
