This property has an amazing dock that even has a ladder for swimming. The house is very clean with just about everything you need including many spices. The views from the house are amazing.
We had an amazing time on the river! We had planned on going out to explore but it was so relaxing and inviting in the home we didn't want to leave. We ending up getting groceries nearby and eating in.The views and river were excellent. I did quite a bit of fishing and if crabbing is your thing they are abundant off of the pier. There is also a BP by Dollar Geraral that has bait. We also took an 8 foot inflatable circular water hammock to float in the river on. Lisa the host was an absolute pleasure to work with and we will no doubt be back to enjoy her family home.
What a beautiful home. The views were amazing. The house was stocked with eveything you can think of. It was very clean. My husband and I will visit again. This is our favorite place @ the rivah. The neighborhood was very quiet and relaxing. Thanks to The owners for sharing their home . See ya again very soon, Ferry Creek retreat. Randy & Vanessa
My husband and I loved our visit. The home was so clean (a big deal for me), well-stocked, and beautifully decorated. Beds are super comfortable and the whole home is so spacious. The community is quiet and peaceful and views of the river are just spectacular. We will definitely visit again.
The views are stunning. The house is very nice. It's been remodeled and is super clean. We enjoyed the dock and fishing. Was fu9n to explore the local towns. Food and views at Merriror asting room were great.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house and location are great and provide the perfect setting for enjoying time on the water with the comfort of a nice, clean house. Would definitely return.
I had a fantastic stay at the cottage in Gloucester. It is very comfortable, nicely decorated, and stocked with everything I needed. The views from the sun room and the back deck are stunning and beautiful. Most importantly, Lisa was a wonderful host. When I had issues with the TV (turned out to be nothing more than dead batteries on the remote needing to be replaced), she came right out to help,which was honestly more than I expected. In addition, we had a brief but strong storm one of the nights I was there (which does happen, of course), and the power to the neighborhood went out for perhaps two hours. Everything I needed was on hand (candles, flashlight, etc.) and she stayed in touch via text with updates until the lights were back on, which made me feel safe and cared for. I used my time at the cottage to rest in between work activities, and to see a bit of the lovely part of the world where the cottage is located. The sun room was a particularly nice spot to relax. The neighborhood was quiet and the cottage felt very private.Highly recommended! I definitely hope to return before too long.
The property was very nice inside, very comfortable, and also had nice outside areas from which to enjoy the beautiful view. All amenities that one would need to enjoy a relaxing vacation were available. This was our summer vacation, but we wanted to spend much of our time relaxing at a nice place with a great view to read, do crafts, etc. and this was a wonderful place for it. We would like to stay here again in the future.
Absolutely wonderful Everything you need to settle in or make day trips to so many great spots. We enjoyed every minute Lisa was a fantastic host and responded timely to any questions. So much history in every direction
What a wonderful stay we had!!! The home was exactly as described and pictured! It was clean and had EVERYTHING we could possibly need!!!
We relaxed on the porch, sat on the dock, cooked meals, rested after days of sightseeing, and just had a great mother-daughter trip!
The home is charming and equipped with almost everything a guest could need. The location is great. Views are spectacular. We caught fish, took long walks, and explored the area. Shops and restaurants in the middle peninsula and northern neck area that we visited were very nice. The hosts were very responsive. Will try to visit every year.
Our stay was just about perfect! A beautiful home on a beautiful property with every amenity we needed. The private dock was great for fishing and just relaxing. The owners were friendly and responsive. The area offers quaint little towns, nice shops and good eateries. Our four day get away was "just what the doctor ordered." We would not at all hesitate to rent the property again.
We're just two gals continuing a dream started by our mom. She created a beautiful and comfortable place where family and friends love to gather, explore, and rest. While we can never bring the special touch our mom had, we are trying to honor her vision and add our touches along the way. We hope to share the magic of Ferry Creek Retreat with you.

Our parents chose the neighborhood when we were kids, and it's always been a quiet, restful enclave, with plenty of fun to be had on the water. The neighborhood features a beach and a boat ramp for our use and for our guests. We also have great neighbors who are very friendly and active in the community. If you walk the neighborhood, you will likely meet them riding their golf carts or walking their dogs.
We have the best sunset and water views. The colors of the sunsets can be simply stunning, and the water brings its own surprises. Between the fish, wildlife, and changes in sunlight on the water, it always brings a glorious new view worthy of a photo. While we are part of a neighborhood, our location makes it feel very private so you can take it all in undisturbed. An eyeful of natural beauty, a deep breath, a slow exhale, and all the stress of everyday life just melts away.
