Great place to stay!

Plenty of comfortable space indoors and several patio spots outdoors. Easy to access from interstate and lots of parking for guests cars. Pet friendly was important to us and there’s even a fenced dog run. Spotlessly clean with many thoughtful amenities. Quite private but host was attentive by text and emails before and during our stay.

Beautiful Historic Property

We were so lucky to find this amazing property! The pictures don’t do it justice. Beds were extremely comfortable, house was very clean and well maintained. All bedrooms had well-appointed bathrooms. While we were there due to emergency repairs to our home, this would be an amazing place for a bridal party.

Wonderful Historic Home

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful old home. Our family was attending a memorial service in West Point and the location was excellent. There were four adults, one teenager, and two twelve year olds, so it was an excellent fit. My only regret was that family events kept us from taking advantage of everything the inn had to offer.

We enjoyed our stay at Vaiden Inn . It has a wonderful historic atmosphere while being very comfortable with modern conveniences . The beds were comfortable and the Inn was very clean . The grounds were lovely . The 2 coffee stations with a huge selection of coffees and cocoas were a welcome treat . Jess was very friendly and was very knowledgeable about the local history . We had fun eating at Martha's Kitchen .

Colonial Life

The house was amazing. The deco was beautiful. The two coffee stations was perfect. In a couple of the bedrooms, there was a lot of road noise. But, the ambience of the house was so perfect, that a little road noise did not interfere with sleeping.

A Hallmark Christmas

A group of 8 adults, 1 toddler, and 1 guide dog for my visually impaired mother all fit into this very cozy historical home. The whole place is gorgeous, the grounds have multiple outdoor seating areas (fire pit, a gazebo area, a deck area with a full seating arrangement etc.) and the grounds are lovely and go on for acres. There is a cozy little dinner directly across the street that we definitely stopped into. This place is less than 30 mins to Busch Gardens and/or Williamsburg (we did both and I drove). All the beds were so so comfy and had plenty of warm blankets and pillows. The tea service area on both floors had everything we needed for a hot coffee or tea throughout the day (and we had many haha). The living room area cozily accommodated all of us as we opened our Christmas presents, watched football, and gathered around Christmas movies. The owners are amazing, welcoming, and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. For instance, not only is my mom blind, but she recently hurt her foot and was wearing a boot. I never said anything or asked anything but they shifted things around to make sure the ground floor room was open for us! It was such an amazing gesture to make sure we were all taken care of. The house itself has so much history and the decor was all these incredible originals and antiques! I felt almost like I'd been allowed to stay inside one of the colonial Williamsburg homes and to touch all of it up close! It was Hallmark Christmas perfect.

A lovely inn / large house close to many attractions

We had a great time staying at the Vaiden Inn! We (two families of four, adults and children), just spent my son's 7th birthday at the inn so we'd be in close proximity for a day at Busch Gardens. The home was large, convenient, and well appointed. The host was helpful and accessible. Thanks!
