Excellent home
The house is just as shown in the pictures. I was a little disappointed that there was no Ms Pacman video game, but that didn't ruin our stay. Communication was excellent. I would recommend this house to others.

Great Stay in a Quiet Neighborhood
Our entire group really enjoyed usuing all of the amenities of this pet friendly vrbo. The place was as described and the kids loved the arcade and using the firepit at nights. This house was well stocked with the little incidentals that are forgotten when packing. My only suggestions is that they have an exterminator treat the property.

Cozy and convenient stay
We had a wonderful time staying here. Its perfect for a family vacation with people of different ages and interests. The game room was a huge plus and my kids had a lot of fun with the juke box as well. The beds were comfortable and clean and the property was easy to get to albeit somewhat rural and remote. We would stay again!

Don't miss it!
A quiet get-away from the busy Williamsburg area with everything you need to be a tourist by day with downtime by night. Easy ferry ride across the river to Williamburg. The history of the service and sacrifice of US Army Private Meyers makes the home a personal treasure.

Cracker Jack House
The house was roomy for the size. The bed were comfortable. There were some areas that definitely needed upgrading like the hallway bathroom and more lighting is needed in the kitchen and back porch area. The property managers were very easy to deal and responded promptly to messages. They also fixed any issues immediately.

A Cracker Jack Experience
Property is perfect for a family getaway in a peaceful setting. This rural location lends itself to many different activities in the area, or an opportunity to just stay there and relax. The arcade is great for all ages, and helps when there’s a rainy day and you still want to have fun.
