Welcome to the Waterfront Cottage at The Gables in the charming town of Reedville. The Cottage is only a few steps from the water's edge making it an idyllic location for expansive water views. It is the perfect place to unwind, recharge and appreciate all the wonders of nature. The space The Gables is an iconic, federally registered historic landmark which welcomed guests for many years. As new owners, we are remodeling the Victorian and the Coach House Inn with plans to re-open as a bed and breakfast. In the meantime, we are inviting guests to stay at the Waterfront Cottage, an open studio with cathedral ceilings, which has hosted visitors from all over the world. Due to the ongoing renovations, the Victorian and the Coach House Inn will not be accessible at this time. We hope that your Cottage stay will move you to repeat your visit so that we can provide a full tour of this historically significant property once the renovations are done. Until then, we encourage you to bring your fishing gear and/or kayak and enjoy the opportunity to fish, crab and relax on the hammock. We also invite you to simply walk around and do nothing while taking in the amazing views of Cockrell's Creek. Guest access Guests will have full access to all the outdoor spaces. When all renovations are done, all outdoor spaces will be a shared; however, at this time, only cottage guests are using the grounds. There is a patio with a charcoal grill, a wood burning pizza oven, a gas stove, a gas fire pit, wood burning fire pit and plenty of outdoor seating. All outdoor cooking gear is equipped with the essentials (fire starter, charcoal, wood, tongs, thermometer, etc.). The docks are available for fishing, crabbing or just taking in the views. There is also a fully stocked wood burning fire pit area which is an ideal place for relaxing while star gazing. The hammock and love seat swing are also splendid ways to while away the hours. Other things to note Omega Protein, the nation's leading producer of omega-3 fish oils, is situated across the creek. Depending on the plant processing schedule and the prevailing winds, there is the potential of a passing fish smell in the air. Thankfully, it is a rare occurrence due to the company's mitigation measures, but, unfortunately, it is also unpredictable. We hope you will not be visited by this fleeting smell during your stay, but just want to inform of the possibility.
