Such a beautiful spot! Lots of space in the yard for so many activities. Loved the fire pit setup the most. Everything was very clean and organized well. Definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Ivy's Cottage. It was close to all the attractions, Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. It was very spacious and comfortable for our family. They were very accommodating when we needed a pack and play for our little one even though this listing didn't explicitly provide it. We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit and the outside projector. We highly recommend Ivy's Cottage for your future stay in Toano.

Great spot for my recent trip with my family! Beautiful and comfy house. Very close to Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. We had a great time relaxing, cooking and playing games in between our time at the attractions. Ivy was a breeze to communicate with and super helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Ivy's Cottage is an absolute gem. We felt so at home in the comfortable rooms and lovely decor. We were two couples enjoying the weekend in Williamsburg, and the house was perfect for our needs. With a large en-suite bathroom for the downstairs bedroom, and a hall bathroom for the upstairs bedroom, both couples had room to spread out and also some privacy. Our host was very responsive and returned messages immediately. Highly recommend!
