Our visit was fantastic! Members of our family stayed here for the holidays and we had expected the cottage to be a great solution, however, it was just beyond delightful! The cottage had a decorated Christmas tree with lights and beautiful soft and cozy throws for curling up! The bedrooms are lovely and spacious and the kitchen well equipped. Checking in was easy and Shannon was great with communication. The cottage and Shannon exceeded our expectations and made a wonderful place for making some Christmas memories!

This cottage was so very comfortable and charming! The special touches were so appreciated, k-cups, welcome box with soda, popcorn, water. As a person who likes to cook dinner, I found the kitchen had everything I needed. Although we did not have an opportunity to have a fire in the fire pit, we appreciated the wood rack filled for our use. Several sunny afternoons we sat out back, eating lunch, watching the squirrels! Bee Humble cottage offers a relaxing accommodation in a rural location that is close to all Gloucester has to offer. Would love to return when we visit family in the area.

Pro’s and Con’s to the home/stay

Pros:CleanQuietLots of dishes/pots pansComfortable beds/couch 3 TV’s (pro or con, up to you)Washer and dryerCons:*When we arrived there was no running water due to frozen pipes. Immediately attempted to call but host’s phone was off. Unable to flush the one toilet, take shower, or brush teeth until 9:30am the following morning. After a long day of traveling this was fairly frustrating. At the end of our stay I did ask if they would be able to provide a discount or refund for the first night (stayed for 6), they did provide a 25 refund and reminded me that I should be happy the heat was on and the house was warm. Thankful for the reminder.*No outdoor light at the driveway/entrance to home so if you come or go at night it’s very hard to see.*Very strong musty smell throughout the house *Chipping/pealing lead paint in bathroom*Dated, small bathroom*Well water, strong smell and bad taste, recommend bringing water for drinking and cooking*Large window in shower is only lightly frosted and very see through. If standing outside of the house it is very easy to see details of someone and items in the shower.*I did forget to add my children to our reservation and booked it as two adults (that’s the automatic default setting with VRBO) and she made sure I was aware of that that when I was discussing the difficulties with having to have all of us use the toilet without flushing all night that first night, which was due to the frozen pipes, not my un added children.

Southern California's visit Gloucester

I cannot say enough good things about our stay at the be humble cottage. I don't think pictures can even do this property or neighborhood justice. We were so excited to walk inside and see a beautifully decorated cottage. Our hosts were so diligent in making sure to have an entire binder full of things to do and recommendations all around town. I wish our stay was longer but we are now customers for life for the Bee Humble cottage and community.

Writing Retreat

I had five gorgeous days in this comfortable and nicely decorated house. Many walks in the quiet community and loved seeing sunrises and sets over the Ware River. I cooked meals in with a perfectly supplied kitchen. The internet was strong for my work needs. It is convenient to Gloucester Court House with quaint shops and farmers market. Bigger grocery shopping was convenient too. It was close enough for a day in Williamsburg. I’ll definitely plan to return to Shannon’s properties.

Charming Cottage

The online description and photos of the cottage were accurate. The cottage was professionally and thoroughly cleaned, charmingly decorated, and the host had thoughtfully provided everything one might have wanted or needed. The quality of the linens was above average, the neighborhood is peaceful and felt safe, and the host has done a fantastic job of making the 1934 cottage seem modern. The only con? The bathroom is from 1934 and is sized accordingly = tiny. But, if you can live with that, this is a wonderful rental. I can honestly give it a high rating and suggest to others it is a fabulous bargain for how charming it is.

Relaxing retreat!

I stayed at this property from June 3 - June 8, 2023 with my 16 year old son. We loved it! The house is adorable and so very comfortable. It was definitely a home away from home. We enjoyed the many recommendations on restaurants in the guest book in the home, and we just had a wonderful time all together. It was a treat for my son and I to each have our own king beds as well! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Little things mean a lot

Such a cozy home tucked away in a quiet area. Beautifully decorated with modern decor. The most comfortable bed and high quality linens. All the little touches like the coffee and creamer that were provided made the stay stress free. The Brita filtered water was a nice surprise. We'll be back!
