I loved that we got to stay in a whole colonial, well-appointed, immaculate house by ourselves. I loved the staff, that went out of its way. The grounds are beautiful, as are the accommodations. I didn't like my breakfast, a "sandwich" made from a croissant, some flavorless cheese, a fried egg and overcooked, very salty bacon. No garnishes. Croissant was second-rate. Should have had tomato or greenery. Caused us to cancel our dinner reservation. Other than that, the staff was amazing, as were the grounds and the accommodations.

Cottage smelled horrible, damp and moldy. Spoke to the young lady about it but she basically threw up her arms. We left and went the store to buy a Febreeze defuser. Half of the plugs didn't work so we had to move furniture to get to a working outlet. There was a mouse trap behind the nightstand. The shower floor appeared moldy both inside and out.The property was beautiful but rundown. The young man who served us breakfast was wonderful. Parker engaged everyone and was kind and professional. In fact he was the only person working there who spoke to us the entire time other than the young lady who checked us in. Our last evening there we were watching the sunset, however, there was a great deal of shooting going on somewhere near the property. While I realize there's no control over another property, it did definitely damaged our calm. Overall I could not recommend this place.

Its a great quiet and serene place to escape to, less than 2 hours from DC. It happened to be dog friendly which was perfect for our needs. Many wineries and restaurants nearby. Onsite dining was excellent for dinner and breakfast.

If you enjoy history, you will love staying on this wonderful historic estate. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the patio and looking out at the view with the mountains, the excellent breakfast, the friendly staff, and the charming cottage room with a real antique feel in spite of the necessary bathroom addition and very comfortable bed.

Pictures of property are deceiving. Furniture was worn and sparse, not even a chair to sit in to put shoes on. It was quiet and bed was comfortable enough and the AC worked well. Served the purpose to visit family in nearby Culpeper.

Lovely historic property. Sofas need updating as well as some chairs. Bed was very comfortable and linens were excellent. Shower was excellent. Bathroom needs new seat and small table would help beside sink. Overall we would love to return in the fall.
