Mid-Century Rivah Retreat with Dock, Fire Pit & Cozy Fireplace | Cottage in Gloucester
2 Bedroom Cottage in Dutton, Gloucester
Nestled along the Piankatank River in Gloucester, this charming cottage is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect—with nature, with the people you’re traveling with, and with a simpler rhythm of life. From the moment you arrive, the river views, quiet surroundings, and cozy character of the home set the tone for a true retreat.
Inside, the house is warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up for real living. There are two cozy bedrooms designed for great sleep after days spent outdoors: one with a luxurious king bed, another with a full bed and a twin—perfect for couples, friends, or families. The bathroom features a refreshing shower and a hair dryer, and the home includes air conditioning, heat, WiFi, and a fireplace to make it comfortable year-round. The living space is welcoming and relaxed, ideal for reading, playing games, or simply enjoying the view as the light changes over the river.
Outside is where this home truly shines. A deep-water dock offers direct access to the river and plenty of space to linger. Dock chairs invite you to sit with your morning coffee, watch the osprey and boats drift by, or enjoy a quiet sunset at the end of the day. In the evenings, gather around the fire pit—one of our favorite spots—for conversation, stargazing, and winding down as the fire crackles. It’s the kind of place where phones naturally get set aside and time stretches a little longer.
The home is also very family-friendly. We provide a Pack ’n Play and a high chair, along with space for kids to play and explore, making it easy to travel lightly and settle in comfortably.
While the property feels tucked away and peaceful, you’re still close to everything you might need. Grocery stores and local essentials are about 15 minutes away, as is a nearby brewery. Merrior is just 20 minutes away for oysters and waterfront dining, and you’re about 30 minutes from The Tides Inn and the charming towns of White Stone. One of our favorite local spots, Adrift, is also an easy drive and well worth the visit.
Whether you’re coming for a weekend, a week, or a longer stay, this cottage is a place to truly decompress—wake up with the river, spend your days outside, and fall asleep to quiet nights. It’s a home designed for living simply, resting deeply, and falling in love with rivah life.
