A Magical Holiday Getaway at Frogmore!

Our family stayed at this beautiful rental home for five unforgettable days between Christmas and New Year's, and it was absolutely perfect in every way! The house was cozy and located away from all the noise. The location was also ideal—quiet and peaceful yet close to everything we needed. The hosts were incredibly kind, responsive, and attentive to every detail, ensuring our stay was seamless and stress-free.

Lovely Country Stay

We had a lovely time. Cottage is cute, beds are super comfy and we enjoyed using the fire pit. The water view required walking down a bit on a trail behind the cottage. It is possible that the view is more prevalent in the fall? Beautiful part of the country for sure. We would definitely stay ant frogmore again if ever back in the area.

Our grandchildren came for several visits and overnights. It was great. The cottage is very user friendly and was quiet. The surrounding areas uncluding paddock was a bonus for our Shetland sheepdogs. The walking trails were fine. We had a fantastic stay.

Quiet, cute, and clean but isolated

The place was very cute, cozy, and clean, but in the middle of nowhere. Very quiet, with a nice view and serene if you just want to hang out inside or out on the lovely porch or near the fire pit . But no stores nearby to get food and only a few small restaurants about 15 min away. Not much to do in the area but we were about 35 min from Colonial Williamsburg, which is why we were there. Also, there is really only room to comfortable sleep up to five people, not 6 (unless it's a child who can sleep on the couch).

Not as Expected

Beautiful views but the windows were filled with dirty cob webs. Comfortable mattress but the bed linens were worn and too small for the bed. It was not throughly cleaned or properly prepped for guests (coffee maker wasn’t emptied, oven hood was filthy). Overpriced for the overall condition and lack of amenities.

Terrific House in a Great Space - Will Return!

We really enjoyed this cozy house. Comfortable for a small group; sleeping 6 might be pushing it, but it's possible. Great furnishings/amenities: very comfortable beds; nice linens; a stocked kitchen with pantry basics and all the dishes you need for 2-3 days' worth of meals; dishwasher; washer/dryer. Temperature control was a wall-mounted AC unit that kept it cool for us on warmer afternoons, and there are baseboard heating vents in all the main rooms. On arrival the house was very clean. The fridge/freezer are smaller than standard (about half-size) but were more than adequate to our needs and we travel with a lot of groceries. No TV or WiFi, but we found we had good cellular reception. Some of the chairs are pretty broken-in, but there's a comfortable day bed to stretch out and relax on. A highlight is the well-stocked library with a mix of history (world, state, and local), biography, art/antiques, and some fiction. We also appreciated that the house has a huge water heater that delivers hot water very quickly to both sinks and the shower. If you're very sensitive to fragrances, the laundry soap used for the bed linens is a bit floral. Outside, there's a fire pit, a big yard, and a mostly-fenced pasture area where you can run your kids (or dogs) around. There is no barrier to the road, so you'll want to keep an eye on runners, but the road is not at all busy. Warblers and other birds abound in the trees outside and it's mostly very quiet; a couple of the neighbors were getting in some target practice one afternoon but it wasn't too bothersome. At night, the star views are incredible and the area is very peaceful aside from some raccoon opera (which we could only hear if we were outside). The property is about 10 minutes from Machicomoco State Park, which has a set of hiking trails, water overlooks, and some interpretative areas to educate visitors about the local native heritage. You can drive up Rt. 17 to Gloucester or down across the Coleman Bridge into Yorktown/Williamsburg or Newport News/Virginia Beach. All the shops you need to support a short-term vacation are along 17 in either direction. The local food options are basic but there's a variety. As other reviews have noted, finding the driveway is a little challenging; basically, turn right where you see the "Frogmore" sign even though it looks like you're trespassing into someone else's driveway, and keep going between the boat and the barn. It's a little weird but you get used to it.

Very interesting place to stay. Beautiful property and the house itself is very cool. It feels old but that only adds to the charm. The owner is very good at communication and helping you find the property, which is a bit off the beaten path. But again, that is what makes this place fun. I’d stay here again anytime.
