Perfect Location

We were in Williamsburg for spring break. Ivy’s Cottage was the perfect central location to Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown and Busch Gardens. We never had to drive more than 20 minutes to get anywhere. You never know what level of “clean” you are going to get when you rent a property, but I will say in this case, the house was SUPER clean, which I thoroughly appreciated. The owners were also great at communicating anything that was needed.

Great Stay!

Ivy's Cottage was the perfect place to stay for our family wedding nearby. There were plenty of flexible sleeping arrangements for the kids, and the owners, who live in the basement, were very respectful of our privacy. We loved our stay! Thank you so much!

Williamsburg Christmas getaway

This property was very cozy, clean and nicely decorated. It was a great location for us. We went to Busch Gardens and colonial Williamsburg, the property was a quick drive to both places. Would definitely stay there again. We’d like to visit the area when it’s a little warmer!

Great spot

The location was great. Easily accessible to the local points of interest. We came for the historical triangle and would recommend all the spots, even those worried about tourist traps. We spent half a day in Newport News Park and were impressed with how good it was as an accessible scenic wilderness.

Perfect for our visit to Yorktown

We really enjoyed this lovely little home. The upstairs rooms were perfect for a couple and 2-3 kids and there is also a nice large bedroom downstairs. The kitchen and living room were perfect and there was a nice reading/sun porch and second tv room for kids. Nice large backyard. Everything was available. We really didn’t have to bring anything. The only slight drawback, I would say, is that it was a little closer to the split 4-lane than we thought so that might be a concern for those with young children or light sleepers. Overall, we had a great stay!

Williamsburg Getaway

Ivy Cottage was perfect for our trip with adult kids to this area. The rooms are decorated so nicely, the beds are comfy and the kitchen well stocked. The location is perfect for getting to the historic areas and Busch Gardens quickly and easily. The Ivy team was very prompt to respond when I texted them. I would definitley stay here again!

Wonderful location for our family gathering

We so enjoyed our relaxed stay at the Ivy cottage! It was nice to have such a large property for the kids to play in the yard while folks relaxed on the porch, and other living spaces. We especially loved being able to cook in the "well equipped" kitchen. Thank you

Colonial Williamsburg

We enjoyed our stay at Ivy’s cottage. We wanted to visit Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. Not wanting to stay in “downtown” Williamsburg we found Ivy’s cottage which was the perfect distance to everything we had planned during our week stay. We are not much for eating out especially trying to get back after dark. We were able to make all our dinners there in the kitchen as they had all pots, pans, and utensils needed. The porch was very nice as was the entire property. It was a great size for anyone with families. Owners do live on site in basement when they are in town but you only see if you happen to be in driveway when they are. Did not have any issues but I know owners are available if the need should arise. My dad and I love visiting Virginia and this trip to Williamsburg area and our stay at Ivy’s cottage was Perfect. Thank you!

Wonderful family getaway!

We loved our time at this sweet location. It’s in a great location and the owners were very accommodating when we had to move our dates around. The house is cozy and perfect for friends or family to get away! There is plenty of space to spread out of people wanted to, but we stayed gathered at the kitchen table talking or in the den with the coziest fireplace the most! The Wi-Fi was great and we used the Keurig coffee machine a lot. We even accidentally left something and they quickly helped us with the process of getting it’s shipped to us! We highly recommend staying at this VRBO!

Good stay

House was reasonably well updated, very clean, has a great backyard and overall a very nice stay. It ended up not being an issue but the house is right on a main road and though we never say them, there are tenants living in the basement of the house. We would stay again.

Relaxing home away from home

They had everything you think you could need. Cozy and accommodating since family was unsure if they we able to stay. Unaware that the property owner was staying in the same house, basemen, with young children but we tried our best to keep them from running and screaming constantly. Likes that it was close access to many things but not right in the rush of things either. Very pleased!

Perfect Location

We had a wonderful 2 night stay, with 6 people in our family. A very short drive to Williamsburg. The boys loved swinging on the swing. There were rabbits in the backyard. The owner came home while we were there and we never heard anything. We spoke with her and she was extremely pleasant. We would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Ivy Brothers

Host profile image
I'm a grandmother who loves to travel. I'm from a large family, love the beach, love to read and spend time with friends. My husband and I bought this home to create loving memories with family and friends. We were able to do that, and now we want to give that same opportunity to other families. There are so many wonderful things to do just minutes away. Or maybe you just need a secluded spot to have a quiet weekend. We want to provide a home away from home for you.
