This property was an oasis on our trip. It was quiet and peaceful. It had everything we needed. It was clean and we loved being outside. We saw deer several times and totally enjoyed getting away from the busy crowds. Would definitely stay there again. The host was wonderful and responsive!!!
This property was a cozy, quiet and private home away from home when my family came to Williamsburg. The set up worked well for our family of five and could also be a perfect getaway for a couple.
The cottage is beautiful and very comfortable. Great place to disconnect and very close to historical sites like Yorktown and Williamsburg. We really enjoyed our time there.

This was a great property. It was quiet and just what we needed for our trip to visit friends in the area. We will definitely be booking it again when we come back.
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.
Fantastic Hosts Beautiful farm house with an incredible little library that has a sleigh bed. Which I preferred to sleep in and wake up to the deer in the morning. Great hosts great communication.
The house was nice and comfortable. We enjoyed the porch and the walks nearby. One major disadvantage was that there is no wifi.

Gorgeous property
The property is very beautiful. I would not say it has a river view, but it is very shaded and pretty. The house serves basic needs. Clean and comfortable beds. Clean, functioning bathroom. We used this as home-base while visiting son, DIL and grandson for his 1st birthday.
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.

Peaceful Getaway!
Amazing 3 days/nights! My hubby & I wanted to get out of DC to enjoy a peaceful getaway & this was perfect! The cottage was little rough on outside, understandably for a 1920s cottage BUT lawn was beautifully mowed, plenty of firewood & SUPER clean & well appointed cottage. The library had an amazing assortment of WWII books & many others. Full size washer/dryer, new sheets, towels, shower curtain… very nice. Easy to get to and get in.. very quiet! Thank you for a wonderful stay! Highly Recommend!
Beautiful property. Def pet friendly. No internet or tv. Great unplug time. Not to far from attractions, but away from hustle and bustle. Bring your book and games...old fashioned family time. :)
Nice older structure that can be seen in some of the wood work and fixtures. I enjoyed that thoroughly. The plumbing and kitchen features ,however, are completely up to date. We enjoyed breakfast in AM before heading out for the day and there's a pleasant enclosed porch on which to dine. The back door is practically in the woods and we saw one deer on the side of the house. The host was very accommodating sending a welcome message beforehand and answering a question afterward. I was actually thinking of personal touches I could make and living in there. LOL We have family in the area and will be back.
Gorgeous place stay -- wish we spent more time at the cottage!
I rented this hidden gem of a cottage for my mother's birthday weekend and it comfortably fit me, my parents, husband, new baby, and pets. It was a truly special experience. It reminded us of my grandparents' home that was also built in the 20s. We loved the intimacy of the stay, the décor, the books, the views. Very clean and well-stocked with linens. I had our days jam-packed with activities and wish we'd spent more time enjoying the property. Great places to walk, beautiful fire pit and grill to use. The front and back porches were lovely. The one negative was that the secondary bedroom got warm and humid so I recommend sleeping with the door open and/or bringing your own fan for air flow if it is hot out. Otherwise the house had great AC throughout. Our phone reception was fine so having no WIFI made no difference for our getaway.
