Om boendet

Den vackra "Cookie B" är online för att gå med i sitt systerskepp "GiaMaria"

"Cookie B" är en 43 'Hatteras som har byggts om och dekorerats på alla sätt. Hennes 12 "x16" vardagsrum har renoverats med designer mattor, ett ljudsystem, en 40 "TV, bord / stolar och en ny bäddsoffa. Hennes kök / kök är nyligen utrustat med en toppmodern induktionskoktopp, köksredskap och röda retroapparater, inklusive ett stort kylskåp, kaffekanna och brödrost. Befälhavaren har nya mattor och 10-tums minnesskummade madrasser och kuddar som har toppats med kvalitetslinne och överdrag. Det ominredda huvudbadrummet har utrustats med en ny tyst jushsco elektrisk toalett, ljusarmaturer, golvbeläggningar och tapeter. Utanför har "Cookie B" ett täckt akterdäck och ett par stolar som passar precis för morgonkaffe eller kvällsdrycker. Det finns ett stort bågdäck för att njuta av en solig dag eller stjärnklara kvällar, och det finns inte en vackrare utsikt över James att ha, oavsett om man tittar österut eller västerut. Det kan vara längre än lugnt på kvällarna när ugglor ringer till varandra från hela den smala kanalen på Hatchers ö. Och för att vi är förtöjda i en grund oxbåge från den ursprungliga James River (delen där Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas, kapten John Smith, president Lincoln, Marquis de Lafayette, Benedict Arnold och så många andra anmärkningar passerade inom några meter från din båge, det är lätt att visualisera dessa människor, de tiderna och de händelser som har format vårt land just där du kommer att sitta. Men det finns en annan bonus där "Cookie B" är dockad, och det är, det finns aldrig någon kommersiell trafik eller grovt vatten eftersom vi är skyddade på alla fyra sidor från kraftiga vindar och stormar.
Att komma hit är också en behandling eftersom du kommer in i fastigheten genom Hoke Brady, en National Park Service-väg, fortsätt sedan genom en kodad grind och resa en kort tid förbi några vackra jordbruksmarker. Sedan när du stiger ner till kullen, kommer du att passera ett skylt som säger 4 1/2 MPH där du får ditt första långa glimt av den vackra James River. Men var försiktig i parken eftersom vilda djur finns överallt, och det kan vara en parkpolarradar.
Det finns så mycket att utforska och njuta av i vår lilla "himmelbit" att det är svårt att veta vad jag ska beskriva.
Vår is är liksom vår upplysta parkeringsplats som är filmad 24/7 och med tanke på "Cookie B". Så kom och njut. Min dotter (First Mate, Gianna, och jag hjälper dig gärna att njuta av din vistelse oavsett om det är en natt eller mer?
Och som en speciell fördel för damerna som tycker om "Cookie B" eller GiaMaria är Gianna en Graham Webb / Boca Raton utbildad kosmetolog med 23 års erfarenhet som kan ge dig en "do" eller en fullständig makeover. Förutom att ha en Virginia instruktörslicens har hon också lokalt erkänts för sina unika och vackra handgjorda halsband och armband.
En annan fördel som du kommer att ha tillgängliga för dig under din vistelse (om utrymme finns) kan du ta en kryssning gratis eller för en liten donation. Vi kan ordna det för dig genom kapten Tom Lewis. Captain Tom är grundaren av SailsangelsRVA, en ideell organisation som gynnar alla som vill njuta av en kryssning på sin 20-båt. En Reader's Digest-version av Captain Toms bio skulle säga att han är en man / far / farfar, examen från Princeton University, en pensionerad konstskolelärare / forskare / ekolog / biovakt / miljövän / trevlig kille, etc.

Great weekend getaway

Capt Ron was an excellent host. He made sure to walk us around the boat and answered all of our questions. We saw two amazing sunsets and the morning hours were so peaceful while sipping coffee. Great get away. We highly recommend at stay!!

Beautiful and Peaceful

So relaxing and peaceful-just as advertised. I checked in late and Captain Ron was there to greet me and was so helpful and friendly. Keep in mind, this is an old boat on the water so don’t expect resort accommodations which was perfectly fine by me. My little dogs loved exploring the docks and woods nearby. I plan to return soon and try out Captain Ron’s other boat.

Beautiful quiet spot

Beautiful property on the James river. One of our favorites spots to go for privacy and to catch some nice catfish. My son loves that we are staying on a an actual boat and that all we have to do is wake up and walk upstairs to go fishing. The boat has had some very nice recent upgrades and is always very clean. Captain Ron is always a pleasure to work with and speak to. Can't wait until this time next year!

A Little Piece of Heaven

If you are looking for peace, quiet and beauty...this is your stay. The only sounds come from the water or the sky. It is a secure location that provides just one more level of separation of the "real world". There are plenty of places for those who want to go out int he world. Within 5 minutes there is food, within 10 minutes there are restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, the life of Richmond is within 30 minutes. I will stay again if we are ever here again! Captain Ron is a delight and more than hospitable.

Most Awesome Vacation of my life!

This was the most fun vacation we have ever taken. "Captain" Ron became a great friend. His life story is amazing. The "Ship Copy" of the book he authored was very amazing and my husband, especially, seemed to identify with him in many ways. We met some of his family, who we just fell in love with. We fished, watched beautiful sunsets, took hundreds of pictures, and enjoyed the beauty of the Yacht. My husband is a retired U.S. Navy Chief, and he relived his time as sea with his own stories relayed to Captain Ron. We were so thrilled to finally find a place that did not charge for pets. We have four long hair chihuahuas who don't appreciate us leaving them behind. Thank you, Ron, for allowing us to bring our 4 pets. We look forward to many, many trips back to this yacht and to reconnect with the Captain!

Even better than I imagined

Captain Ron went well out of his way to meet us personally and walk us through the boat, show us how everything worked and to make sure we were comfortable and felt at home. I can't express how welcome he made us feel. Neither of us had been on that type of boat before, but everything was very easy. The living room was larger than we had thought; I think it's even larger than ours at home. The large, comfortable couch and armchair were much appreciated. The bed was very comfortable and no motion of the water could be felt (but it would have been comforting if it had). There were several ways to heat the boat, even in the unexpected chilly weather we had one night. Although the shower was a little tight for my wide shouldered husband, there was a building nearby with good sized, heated, private showers at the yacht basin. The area is gated, private and we felt very safe. Captain Ron is very knowledgeable about the area and was able tell us some of the history of the area. I only wish we had time to hear his tales of his time at sea and up & down the James River. If we ever return to the area again, I hope we can stay on the Cookie B again and have more time to explore the area's rich history and to visit with Ron. I would feel safe there, even as a woman traveling alone.

A Rare Find

The property was as advertised and much more. All modern conveniences including excellent WiFi. The scenery around the boat is both beautiful and historic, close to all tourist attractions in and around Richmond. The rarest find, however, is the property owner, Captain Ron. Not only is he well versed in the history of the James River, but he is actually a part of the history itself. Captain Ron is engaging and entertaining regarding not only the the lore of the area, but also of life generally. We are thankful for the opportunity to lodge on his boat, but especially for the opportunity to meet this extraordinary man. The Cookie B and Captain Ron receive our highest recommendation.

First time on a boat!

First time experience on a boat - not sure what to have expected. Capt. Ron greeted us upon arrival and gave us a brief overview including some history of James River. The part that we enjoyed the most was sitting out reading one of Capt Ron’s own personal books while the sun was setting continuing onto into the evening! I wished we had more time to read all of it!

What a wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful time on the river! Captain Ron was very accommodating and pleasant to talk to. He genuinely wants his guests to have an enjoyable experience. And a huge thank you to Maria, Ron’s daughter, for being so helpful. We had everything we needed on the boat and cooked most of our meals in the galley. We ate out once, at Portabella's Italian Restaurant and they make a great pie. We caught blue gill and catfish from the boat and were lucky enough to see bald eagles over the tree tops. This was a very fun trip and we plan on going back again in the fall.

It was a good place for the one night I was there

Unfortunately I was in the hospital for part of my stay so I do not have much to say about the check-in process the person who was also on the trip said that there were no paper towels and a few other things missing at check-in and that the second bathroom was locked but not noted in the description as well as the no paper towels being not noted in the description. I believe Captain Ron told her he was going to amend the description to include those details. Other than that, it was a good overnight break. Unfortunately my friend who came to visit us did not have a car to drive around places to pick up paper towels and such due to me being in the hospital. I know that she requested paper towels.

A night aboard ship

An amazing adventure spent aboard ship. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was small but had all we needed to cook our meals. Sitting on deck as the sun went down was beautiful while we were there the water was looked like glass and very still. Nice get away to relax and recharge. The owners are great folks to work with excellent communication with guests.

Lovely quiet stay

I have a mobility problem and wear a brace. I love boats but hadn’t stayed on one since my most recent injury and found the boat challenging. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Internet and tv connections were not perfect but Maria did her best to hook me up. All was well until the rainstorm knocked everything out.

I am a retired tugboat owner-skipper/ builder/published author/history buff, reorganizer/Colonel in the Virginia State Guard with many years of living along the James and Appomattox Rivers, a former sailor who lived aboard my 41' Formosa ketch in the Bahama Islands. And I also enjoy fishing both salt and fresh water, but not as a regular diet, the same goes for relic hunting, most sports, and watching TV However, I am definitely a get in my old car and go anywhere kinda guy. I prefer burgers and fries to steaks, and the only bad deserts have been made when someone forgot to load them up with sugar! But most of all, I love my family and friends, even the friends who I have not met yet. And I refuse to be afraid of anything, unless of course it is my wife.

Varför värden valde detta boende

This Hatteras Corporation built this classic yacht which became one of the smartest looking and safest designed boats in the entire world which and feel from the first moment you step on her deck or go inside of the vessel which has been built from floor to ceiling with mahogany walls and trim, a feature found only in the most expensive vessels.
Outside on the bow there is a huge sun deck, while the stern deck is smaller, but covered. But one of the best perks of all, is that the Cookie B is located on a private dock in a private marina, with only four other vessels , and one of them is my houseboat the GiaMaria who like the Cookie B carries a 4.9 star rating.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

And if you like history, then you will love staying on the historic homeplace of Pocahontas, her father Chief Powhatan and America's first English settlements in the new world (Jamestown and Henricus). The Indian massacre of 1622 took place here as did battles during the revolutionary war and also the civil war. In fact, the marina's property is located on the site of the battle of New Market Heights. Bird life is everywhere, including Bald Eagles, Egrets, Great Blue Herons, Little Green Herons, Hawks, Song Birds, Humming Birds, Prothonotary Warblers and Hoot Owls. So, if you enjoy such creatures, then you have come to the right place. And if you like four legged creatures, you are also in luck, because our forest are full of them., But if you prefer the two legged kind that inhabits our nightlife scene, you will find them at the nearby and brand new, LILY PAD CAFE, or in Shockoe Bottom, Scott's Addition or Carytown. Like sports? We have the new COLONIAL CAPIOLTRAIL. It is a paved bike/walk/running trail that goes all the way from Richmond to Williamsburg/Jamestown, a total of 52 miles. Or, you can canoe, fish, sail, and so on right here in the beautiful James River. And when it is time to go out for dinner, the LILY PAD CAFE IS ONLY TWO MILES AWY AND IT IS ALL OUT DOOR SEATING UNDER A CIRCUS LIKE TENT WITH AMPLE HEATERS. And if craft brewski is your thing, then you are in luck, Richmond was recently named the #3 craft brewery city in the country, with Legends Brewery receiving the #1 national award for its light beer!
