Excellent place to stay. In the country you can hear roosters in the distance in the mornings outside only. Went to Williamsburg one day from the home went to Richmond for the NASCAR race. The house is very centrally located for that area.

Girls Getaway

This place was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, we felt at home! It was immaculately clean, adorably and thoughtfully decorated, and had more than enough space for us to stretch out and unwind at the end of the day. Our only regret is that we didn't have more time to enjoy this wonderful home!

We’ll Be Back!

Cleanliness is huge for me! This house is extremely clean, has everything you need, cozy and comfortable. We wanted to visit Williamsburg/Busch Gardens and it was an easy drive. The town is quaint and has some great restaurants (love Lulu Bird). Thank you for a great stay! Already scheduling to stay here again next year.

Outstanding home

This home and its property is absolutely the BEST experience we have ever had in a VRBO. We give this experience five stars from beginning to end. The home was spotless, stocked with all your needs and more. The attention to detail to have their guests comfortable were impressive. The property is quite and beautiful. We absolutely will stay here again!!

Outstanding Haven

We absolutely loved this cottage. It had such curb appeal. The owners went out of their way to provide so much information in the welcome notebook and in stocking everything needed in the home except the food. The interior decor was amazing. The place was immaculate. When my two little granddaughters visited one day, they loved the cubby at the top of the stairs. The internet and the TV streaming worked like a charm. We will stay there again if we get the chance to return to the area. I highly recommend the Bee Haven. Thank you so much - it was truly a privilege to stay there.

Perfect retreat!

It was so nice to arrive at this lovely clean home with comfy beds! Due to flight delays we arrived at 2 am. Luckily, we know the area well and found the house easily. The house is so welcoming and cozy. The instructions we received ahead of our arrival told us everything we needed to know. We enjoyed long runs in the woods followed by a breakfast made in the well-stocked kitchen and coffee on the porch. I love that all the light switches were well marked, the bathroom towels ample and Wi-Fi strong. Could not have asked for more! Thank you and we look forward to renting your home again!

Such a cute place!!

It was a perfect retreat after fun (but long) days visiting the historical sites in the area. It was very convenient to Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. The house was extremely clean!! And had so many consumables that are often not included - we didn’t need anything that we didn’t bring or wasn’t included. The floor plan worked out very well for our 3 generation family. The only hiccup was we weren’t given the correct code at check in but the property manager was very helpful and quick to get us in! The old county store was a wonderful spot to visit for gifts and the coffee is wonderful! And the swing was a HUGE hit with the kids! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with us!! Highly recommended!
