About this place

A handcrafted colonial-inspired woodland retreat on 26 private acres near Colonial Williamsburg, with reservoir access, kayaks, and timeless comfort.

Welcome to Colonial Timber Cottage

Nestled beneath a canopy of hardwoods on twenty-six private wooded acres. Colonial Timber Cottage is a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience Virginia at a gentler pace. Inspired by the quiet craftsmanship of early American homes and thoughtfully designed with modern comforts, the cottage offers a peaceful retreat just a short drive from Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown, Busch Gardens, Richmond, and the many wineries, golf courses, and waterways that make Virginia's Historic Triangle so memorable.

Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, a girls' weekend, or a peaceful place to work remotely, Colonial Timber Cottage welcomes you with warm wood tones, handcrafted details, and spaces designed for gathering as naturally as they are for quiet reflection.

A Cottage Built with Intention

Every room tells a story of craftsmanship.

Southern pine timber trusses rise overhead, creating an inviting sense of warmth and character. Walnut-stained oak flooring, leathered Virginia Mist granite countertops, brushed brass accents, and carefully selected furnishings blend timeless colonial inspiration with modern comfort.

Casement windows invite natural light throughout the day while surrounding woodland views remind you that nature is never far away.

The Gathering Kitchen

The kitchen was designed to be more than a place to prepare meals—it's where conversations linger over morning coffee, holiday meals become traditions, and evenings often end with dessert around the table.

Enjoy:

Leathered Virginia Mist granite countertops
Fully equipped kitchen
Coffee station
Dining space designed for gathering
Premium appliances
Everything needed for extended stays

Whether you're preparing breakfast before exploring Williamsburg or enjoying dinner after a day on the water, you'll find the kitchen both beautiful and practical.

Relax and Unwind

The great room offers comfortable seating beneath soaring timber ceilings, creating an inviting place to read, watch a movie, play games, or simply enjoy a quiet evening indoors.

Step outside to the screened porch where comfortable seating and a fireplace invite slow mornings with coffee and peaceful evenings beneath the trees.

Sleeping Spaces

Colonial Timber Cottage comfortably accommodates families and small groups with thoughtfully designed sleeping spaces.

The private primary bedroom features a king bed and calming woodland atmosphere designed for restful nights.

The open loft provides two queen beds, making it ideal for children, couples traveling together, or friends enjoying a weekend away.

Premium linens, quality mattresses, and carefully chosen furnishings ensure every guest enjoys a comfortable stay.

A Place to Work or Simply Pause

Need to stay connected? A dedicated workspace makes remote work easy while allowing you to enjoy the peaceful surroundings between meetings.

Or leave the laptop closed and spend the afternoon with a good book, coffee on the porch, or a quiet walk beneath the trees.

Explore Virginia Grove

One of Colonial Timber Cottage's greatest luxuries is space.

Twenty-six wooded acres surround the cottage, offering room to breathe, wander, and reconnect with nature.

A short woodland walk leads to reservoir access where guests can launch the provided kayaks, or fish from the shoreline, or simply enjoy the peaceful scenery.

Bring binoculars for birdwatching, enjoy morning walks beneath the hardwood canopy, or end the day beside the water as the sun begins to set.

Discover Virginia's Historic Triangle

Perfectly positioned between history and recreation, Colonial Timber Cottage offers convenient access to many of Virginia's most beloved destinations.

Spend the day exploring Colonial Williamsburg's restored streets and taverns, visit Jamestown Settlement, walk the Yorktown Battlefield, ride roller coasters at Busch Gardens, enjoy Water Country USA, tour local wineries, browse Richmond's museums and restaurants, or discover charming country roads throughout New Kent County.

After a full day of adventure, return to the quiet of the woods where evenings are filled with birdsong, fresh air, and the gentle pace that inspired the cottage's design.

Designed for Every Season

Spring brings dogwoods, redbuds, and fresh woodland blooms.

Summer offers kayaking, fishing, porch evenings, and family adventures.

Autumn transforms the surrounding hardwood forest into vibrant shades of gold, crimson, and amber.

Winter invites cozy mornings, warm drinks, peaceful woodland walks, and quiet evenings gathered indoors.

Every season offers its own reason to return.
