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.

A nice stay in a quiet location

The property is very nice, in a quite area away from tons of traffic and noise. The house is very old and has a lot of charm in every room. The four bedrooms were all very comfortable and the upstairs sitting areas were comfortable.

Fun weekend getaway!

It was perfect for what we needed as a small group who wanted to stay together during our quick weekend trip. The property was a convenient drive to Busch Gardens! Jess was great to deal with, constantly checking in on us to make sure we didn’t need anything.

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 .

The perfect solution for my family and I

My family and I were in town for a wedding and this was the perfect location for our long weekend getaway. I appreciated Jess’s patience as I had a ton of questions and just wanted to find a cute place to stay and relax. This felt like home and honestly we would have stayed for a whole week if our schedules allowed!! We can’t wait to come back!!

Nice stop for us on the way to Virginia/Sandbridge beach. Stayed for 2 nights, easy drive to Williamsburg/Busch Gardens. Historic, clean home, a step back in time, but still with good wifi and water pressure in the shower. Nice restaurant directly across the street. Thanks

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.

Great place with plenty of room for the large extended family… and dogs. WiFi worked well as did the smart TVs. Dogs loved running in the fields and woods. liked that there was a fire already prepared with extra wood stacked nearby. We tried Martha’s Kitchen (across the street) and Trojan Grill (great draft beer selection and Acoustic guitarist)! An excellent value for comfortable lodging if you find yourself the area.

Wonderful stay in gorgeous Inn

We all had such a lovely time staying at this historic Inn! The included amenities were so helpful such as the coffee bar, water cooler, and ice maker. We went to Martha’s Kitchen which was right across the street twice, as they were so good! Jess was super nice and gave us all the information we needed and checked in on us. We all wish we had had more time to enjoy the property such as the outside seating area and fire pit, but we spent quite a bit of time away while visiting Busch Gardens. I would highly recommend this location for any larger group wanting to enjoy a unique stay while enjoying the area.

Great Weekend Getaway

The Vaiden Inn offered us an opportunity to relax and reconnect as a family for a weekend. The accomodations were extremely comfortable for the 6 of us and had all of the amenities of home. We did walk around the property before it started raining. Any American history enthusiast would really enjoy this location. The house and the grounds are simply amazing. It's too bad we couldn't stay longer than a weekend...there's always next time! -The Perez Family

Just what we were looking for.

The Inn was just what we were looking for. It was liking stepping back in time. Perfect location and accommodated our family of 7. House was decorated for Christmas. Santa was able to come down the chimney with the grandson gifts. Even though we only had the kitchenet we where still able to cook most of our meals. Jess was a true angel when a family emergency arrived. I highly recommend staying at The Vaiden Inn.

Family Christmas get together

Our family met for our Christmas a week before Christmas. We checked in Friday afternoon and stayed until Monday. We had a wonderful time! Jessica was readily available to answer questions. She was very helpful and made every effort to see that we had everything we needed. The Inn is a great place to be together as a family. It felt like home. The house was decorated throughout for Christmas and had a tree up. It was lovely! The place is charming and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We loved the coffee station upstairs! Such a cozy place to have coffee/tea/water and sit and talk or play games. Even without a full kitchen, the kitchenette had appliances that made cooking easy. (There are several things that we came away planning to get for our own home because they helped so much) It rained so we didn't get to enjoy the firepit for smores and more, but we will do that next time. And, yes, there will be a next time! We definitely plan to visit this place again! Thank You!
