Waterfront with Private Pier and Tranquil Water views!

Dive into this charming waterfront cottage with eclectic decor to relax, renew, and rediscover. Relax on the deck or dock staring at the mesmerizing water during the day or gazing at the stars at night. Renew with yoga or meditation in the sunroom, or a bubble bath in the bathtub. Rediscover nature while fishing/crabbing or watching a variety of birds from waterfowl to soaring eagles. With a variety of spaces to choose from, lose yourself reading or writing a good book or find yourself trying something completely new. Feed your soul with good nutrition by whipping up your own culinary creations in the fully equipped kitchen or on the gas grill or try someone else's creations with an outing to a local restaurant. Sleep soundly on queen size beds with fresh linens and pillow toppers in bedrooms with room darkening blinds and remote-controlled ceiling fans. If surfing is more your speed, you can surf the internet or stream your movies/shows on the TV or your devices with high-speed internet via Wi-Fi. For those with a more adventurous spirit, a pier with covered boat slip offers opportunities for boaters, kayakers, jetskiers, sunbathers, and swimmers alike. A 4 ft mlw (mean low water) depth makes docking your watercraft simple.
There are plenty of area attractions and events to explore too! There are beaches, state parks, history, museums, antiques, shopping, restaurants, and wineries.

Very Relaxing

We had an amazing time on the river! We had planned on going out to explore but it was so relaxing and inviting in the home we didn't want to leave. We ending up getting groceries nearby and eating in.The views and river were excellent. I did quite a bit of fishing and if crabbing is your thing they are abundant off of the pier. There is also a BP by Dollar Geraral that has bait. We also took an 8 foot inflatable circular water hammock to float in the river on. Lisa the host was an absolute pleasure to work with and we will no doubt be back to enjoy her family home.

My husband and I loved our visit. The home was so clean (a big deal for me), well-stocked, and beautifully decorated. Beds are super comfortable and the whole home is so spacious. The community is quiet and peaceful and views of the river are just spectacular. We will definitely visit again.

Lovely Ferris Creek

Our stay was just about perfect! A beautiful home on a beautiful property with every amenity we needed. The private dock was great for fishing and just relaxing. The owners were friendly and responsive. The area offers quaint little towns, nice shops and good eateries. Our four day get away was "just what the doctor ordered." We would not at all hesitate to rent the property again.

Nice clean place. The well water was a bit odorous but the water pitcher helped resolve some of the issues. Very relaxing though.

Comfortable Cottage

Great view! Relaxing getaway. This very comfortable cottage offers everything for a enjoyable vacation spot. Close to Yorktown, Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg. Make sure you take the scenic Colonial Parkway when traveling between these three spots. Must eat at Olivia's in Gloucester Court House. Thanks Pam! We will definitely stay here again when we return to the area.

Wonderful stay. Did not want to leave!

Traveling for vacation. Stayed in another VRBO on the way which was not very nice. So when we walked into this property, it was like we were in heaven. So very comfortable. Beds were great! Clean. Comfortable. And always immediate communication with the property manager/owner. Will definitely return!

Clean, Quiet, Couldn't have asked for more

Ferry Creek is an amazing little home away from home. Pam has thought of everything and really takes care of the place to ensure you have all the comforts of home. We kayaked right off the dock and we're able to crab and fish right there. Our dog loved being able to come down to the water with us too. The neighbors we met were all so nice. It's a short drive into town with restaurants. Make sure you check out Scoots and awesome BBQ joint that's worth the drive. We will be back to visit Soon!!

Beautiful serene spot on the water

We LOVED our stay at this magical cottage on Ferry Creek! The views from the windows and decks are absolutely gorgeous. Our host, Pam, was most helpful, taking special care to welcome us and share the details of this lovely property. It is a peaceful and cozy setting with plenty of seating for lounging about and comfy beds for a good night's rest. Pam's designer touches add to the beauty and uniqueness of this place. If you can tear yourself away from the rockers on the deck, there is plenty to see and do nearby in the darling town of Gloucester, as well as nearby Yorktown, Jamestown, and Williamsburg. We are big fans of this well maintained cottage on Ferry Creek and its warm and delightful owner!

Perfect Getaway

This was one of the more relaxing vacations I have had. It was well worth the 6+ hour drive to get there. Once there it was zen time. Lots of things to do in the immediate area...lots of historical places to go. Even if you don't eat crabs, like me, it was fun to set out the trap and just go check every now and then and pull a few up. I will say they were all healthy looking crabs so the water must be very clean. Lisa was great. If there was a question we had she was on it. She stayed in contact to check in just to be sure all was good. She was very much on top of things...plus she has a great sense of humor. Overall I would rate this as one of the best vacations I have had and would definitely stay there again if the opportunity presents itself. 5+ Stars!

A beautiful and restful spot!

I had a fantastic stay at the cottage in Gloucester. It is very comfortable, nicely decorated, and stocked with everything I needed. The views from the sun room and the back deck are stunning and beautiful. Most importantly, Lisa was a wonderful host. When I had issues with the TV (turned out to be nothing more than dead batteries on the remote needing to be replaced), she came right out to help,which was honestly more than I expected. In addition, we had a brief but strong storm one of the nights I was there (which does happen, of course), and the power to the neighborhood went out for perhaps two hours. Everything I needed was on hand (candles, flashlight, etc.) and she stayed in touch via text with updates until the lights were back on, which made me feel safe and cared for. I used my time at the cottage to rest in between work activities, and to see a bit of the lovely part of the world where the cottage is located. The sun room was a particularly nice spot to relax. The neighborhood was quiet and the cottage felt very private.Highly recommended! I definitely hope to return before too long.

Relaxing Get Away

The property was very nice inside, very comfortable, and also had nice outside areas from which to enjoy the beautiful view. All amenities that one would need to enjoy a relaxing vacation were available. This was our summer vacation, but we wanted to spend much of our time relaxing at a nice place with a great view to read, do crafts, etc. and this was a wonderful place for it. We would like to stay here again in the future.

Just lovely

The home is charming and equipped with almost everything a guest could need. The location is great. Views are spectacular. We caught fish, took long walks, and explored the area. Shops and restaurants in the middle peninsula and northern neck area that we visited were very nice. The hosts were very responsive. Will try to visit every year.
