The Martin House was perfect to stay in as part of our honeymoon! We loved the history behind the house and The Ordinary. The house was clean and we loved the antique furniture and decorations. The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful. It was equidistant to Kings Dominion and to Busch Gardens Williamsburg.Pam was a wonderful host and we would absolutely stay here again if we’re ever back down this way!

Loved all about it and will definitely go back. Street number is wrong on VRBO. Thankfully my sister lives in the area and was able to get us there.

Love "The Ordinary"!

Had a wonderful time in New Kent. Went to Saude Creek, Upper Shirley, New Kent/Talleysville and Martha's during our stay. All were lovely and we had this great cottage to come back to each night. We will be back.
