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.

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.
