Take advantage of the location!
This adorably decorated home is situated in a quiet, tree-dense neighborhood with easy access to the highway if you’re spending the day outside of town. The town of Gloucester is quaint, filled with friendly people, and many dining options. The host made the stay easy, welcoming, and lovely. The home is absolutely sweet. Comfy decor, very clean, great kitchen, and comfy beds. Parking is ample and the views from every window are picturesque. The only “word of caution” is that the water does have a sulphur-ic odor so def bring bottled water (although host does provide a water filter - the smell was still present). I think this is not an indication of anything wrong - it may be typical to the area. All in all, I would stay there again and highly recommend this home.

I would stay again. I didnt care for the lake of not telling you your address of location etc until few days before because we were planning a road trip with stops on way and wanted to put address in gps but I understand why they have to do ot so if your a big time planner just keep that in mind. The house itself and location and cleanliness was top notch

Peaceful Cottage
We stayed here as a surprise getaway for my spouses birthday. The cottage. The cottage is exactly as it looks and is described in the listing. It was beautiful, quiet, peaceful, and somewhat secluded in a nice neighborhood. There is a binder that The French’s put together that explains everything in detail about the property, policies, information on the area and more! There was a slight hiccup on the check-in for us but it was remedied and the communication with Mrs. Shannon was great! She is very nice! We really enjoyed our stay and my spouse loved it! Thank you for having us!

Perfect neighborhood - quiet and secluded yet close to town. The home has everything you need and is super cute - we loved the bee decorations. We’ve never stayed in a rental that was as clean as Bee Haven - super impressed by my neat freak self! We were also able to enjoy evening walks with our dog on Ware Neck Road. Thank you for the hospitality!

The cottage was what we wanted somewhere quiet but not too far from where we were going to. It was clean, instructions were detailed and easy to follow. We woke to birds and the back of the cottage was a wooded area. Our host was quickly responsive to communication.

Seriously, don't think twice about booking this property! It's in a beautiful, quiet setting and about an hour drive from countless attractions. We went to Williamsburg, short 45 minute drive through beautiful country. The property is exceptional! The host has thought of literally everything and well appointed.
