Perfect getaway
I couldn’t be happier with this little cottage. From the moment you enter, you feel right at home. Everything is exceptionally clean and the cottage is well stocked with essentials. The dock is a very short walk away and a great place to sit and enjoy the breeze and views. We didn’t have much luck fishing but we sure tried!

A Great Long Weekend
Our family was fortunate to have found Kem and Sandra's property. All of us enjoyed the dock immensely, even though my husband and I never even got into the water. Our teenage kids couldn't get enough of the water and the rope swing. The dock is perfectly fitted for crabbing and fishing and we tried both but weren't lucky this time; still had a lot of fun though. We also really liked the Lucano's restaurant which is right down the street; wonderful pizza. All in all a fabulous long weekend and we will be back! Thanks Kem & Sandra!

Great stay!
We had a great time staying at the Goose House. It was extremely clean which is very important to me. The sheets were soft and the towels were thick. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook meals at the house if you choose to, plenty of pot and pans, baking dishes, even a crock pot. We were out and about for most of our stay so we didn’t use the kitchen much, but it was great to know it was all there. We did a lot in Williamsburg and the surrounding areas and the drive was not bad at all. Our kids loved the beach area and pier. Our schedule didn’t leave much time to use it so we would love to come back again when we have more time to relax and enjoy the sand and river.

Perfect little place by the river
The cleanest place I've ever stayed! We did great night fishing. Pretty much had everything you could need there. Kids loved kayaks and paddle boards. Got to see a barge go by. Hope to return!

We were welcome by the owners who were super friendly and accommodating.
The little goosehouse was a wonderful stay. When we arrived we heard some questionable sounds but ya cant help the neighbors lol who were miles down the road. The beach part was probably my sons favorite part where he "booped" the crabs. Hoping to return one day. Loved it.

Absolutely wonderful stay at the Goose House
My family recently stayed at the Goose House and had the best vacation! We were able to cook every meal in the well stocked kitchen and the house was clean and cozy! It had everything we needed! We loved fishing off the dock and swimming each day! My husband played on the rope swing also! Our favorite part was the friendly turtle who lives near the dock who kept popping his head out to say hello whenever we were near. He was our little friend and my 6 year old was sad to leave him at the end of our stay! We celebrated a birthday and Williamsburg was a quick drive away for some shopping on a rainy afternoon. The town of West Point was adorable also. We got some ice cream on main St and went into a charming antique store! We hope to return again, it was a perfect stay for our family! Thank you for sharing the Goose House with us and please say hello to the turtle from us! :)

Refreshing River Getaway
It was wonderful to wake up with the sun while staying at this beautiful river property. The dock is only around 300 ft from this guest house. The house is appropriately decorated in a lake/beach theme (blue is my favorite color) and makes you feel like you’re truly experiencing a getaway. I had lived in Virginia 20 years and was just getting back for a family reunion during the 4th of July weekend so this place was perfect. Far enough away from downtown Williamsburg and Richmond that I didn’t feel crowded and not too far to go for amenities. I’d definitely book again. The dock and small beach area was a hit. My parents were reunited with their grandson, so many a fishing, kayaking, and crab watching adventure was had over the 4 nights we stayed. Thank you hosts for a wonderful time!

An adorable guest house apartment!
This guest house was basically a spacious one bedroom apartment. It was comfortable and quiet. The dock and water area was beautiful but chillier so we didn’t utilize the kayaks as originally intended. You definitely should consider a wine flight at the Gauthier Vineyard up there road during your stay.

Although the owners home is visible from the small house, it felt completely private. The home itself although just two rooms was very spacious and equipped very comfortably. The setting is lovely with spacious manicured lawns right on the river, with a beautiful sunrise view.

We so needed a getaway. The cottage is off the beaten path. But well worth it. We needed the solitude and quiet. Travelling to Wiliamsburg was not a long way at all (20-30 minutes). We plan to stay here again.
The property was exactly as described. We loved how relaxing, quiet, and tranquil the property is. Perfect for an intimate getaway!
