Bee Haven is a charming cottage tucked away in the most quiet neighborhood in Gloucester. I really enjoyed having my coffee out on the front porch in the morning. The area is lovely to drive around in. There is a grove of pine trees in the back that sound amazing when the wind is blowing.

Adorable Cottage

We had a great time, the location was beautiful. We did have a tree fall, which ended blocking the road back to the cottage during a storm. I was panicking our family pet was alone. I did call and I was called immediately contacted by owner to help guide us back to the cottage.

Great stay!

The little Bee Haven cottage is spotlessly clean and so well equipped. Beds are comfortable and with a living room and small den, the two of us were very comfortable, as would be a party of four. The area of Virginia where the cottage is located is so beautiful and tho the cottage was not in the middle of activities (which suited us just fine) it was easy to access Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. The front porch is a definite plus as are the crab cakes down the road at the Nuttall Market!

Oh Bee Haven

We had a delightful stay at this charming cottage. It boasted more space than we needed, and the bathroom was absolutely fantastic. The cozy couches and beds were comfortable, and the spacious kitchen was a chef’s delight. The secluded location added to the overall charm of the place. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway. The host provided an extensive list of recommendations in the area which was very helpful.
