Pleasant stay

Our visit to Matthew’s was wonderful. The home was pleasant and spacious. Plenty of room for our crew! The kids enjoyed the peddle boat and kayaks, even in November! Plenty of relaxation, playing and food prep areas! One of our better rentals!

The property is beautiful and well set up for a family getaway. Rooms are large and spacious with multiple bathrooms that can accommodate several generations. It has beautiful views of the tranquil water within the house and out. It was well equipped in the kitchen, and lots for kids of all ages to do (multiple yard games, water equipment, and indoor room with ping pong).

Great place for family stay

Owner thought of everything for a comfortable stay. Lovely updated house with large window views of inland waters and enough space for everone. Grade school kids were never bored with pingpong, games, books, gameboy, crayfishing, etc. Close enough to go to Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. We have stayed at other houses and this house is one of the best and we will want to return.

Annual Reunion

Friends from the North and the South met in the middle at this historic property. The 270 degree view of the Morris Creek from the glassed in living space picturesque and exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the game room above the garage and watching the eagles and herons from the dock. Ten minutes from downtown Mathews was a plus. We recommend this property to anyone who enjoys nature, the water and peace and quiet.

What a gem!

This beautiful house, tucked back in the woods was an unbelievably magical place for our family to enjoy a long weekend. The owner, Jon, was amazing in all communication. The house was stocked with everything you needed to have a fun, carefree, exciting vacation and it just a short 10-minute drive to Haven Beach for the full on beach experience. It was probably the most comfortable and relaxing vacation we have had in a LONG time! Without a doubt, we will be returning.

Host with the most

Jon's home was one of the best equipped places I've stayed. Every detail was thought out. The charm of the old home with the comfort of the new addition was perfect. The bed was so comfortable and i appreciated the quality linens. The kitchen had everything we needed. We used the fishing poles to cast a few times. Sitting on the dock in the morning and evening made for a restul stay. I highly recommed staying in this beautiful home.

Relaxing Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house is centrally located, which made it convenient for both exploring the town and attending our family event.The home was spacious and well-equipped, with plenty of bathrooms to accommodate our group comfortably. The sunroom was a favorite spot—it provided a cozy, relaxing place for everyone to gather.The grounds are beautiful, with water on two sides creating a peaceful, scenic setting. There was plenty to do at the house, including a great selection of games like ping pong and foosball, which kept everyone entertained.The host was responsive and readily available, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. We highly recommend this property!

Wonderful house!

We had a little family reunion and this house was perfect for it. Many rooms to spread out and have conversation and laughs. Best stocked kitchen I have ever had in a rental house! Beautiful dock for sunrises and sunsets. The view is amazing. If I had any complaint, it would be that there was only 1 towel per person and most houses I rent, I feel like the standard is 2 per person. So just bring an extra towel if 1 is not sufficient for you. Besides that, I highly recommend.

Long weekend with family

We spent time on the dock catching crabs with the pots and on lines with chicken legs, paddled up the creek in the kayaks, played yard games and hung out in the sunroom- kids table/chairs were nice. Great house for our family of 6 adults and 2 infants. The house had all of the entertainment we needed- corn hole, can jam, ladder golf etc. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware, spices and cleaning supplies. Second refrigerator in garage was helpful. Mathews was a cute town with a grocery store and a couple restaurants. Enjoyed Richards for ice cream and on tap craft brews. Would love to return.
