George Washington sov her 1760 Farm House

I elected to take my little boy and I out to the countryside for a quick two day trip from DC to start the new year off right. It did exactly what I had hoped — offered us downtime away from the city, stunning views, a chance to romp around outside, meet sweet horses and dogs, explore, and just have fun. The history of the house is awesome. The king bed is so comfortable that I went online to try and replicate some of it once I got home. There is a room perfect for little ones, and my guy loved playing with the wooden trucks. Thank you for the wonderful stay, great memories. We hope to return soon!

If your looking for a rustic farm to retreat to from the hustle & bustle of a long day of enjoying all the area has to offer, then this is the place for you! The home is true to the time period as mentioned. Beautiful acreage for just relaxing & taking in the scenic view. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 not because I felt anything was done wrong. There were just a couple of things that I thought could use some updating. We were there in the summer. The air-conditioning for that time of year was a little challenging to keep it cooled at times. But all units did work. The big beautiful wooden front door inside the house couldn’t be opened. So you had to walk out the back door around the house to get to the front which had awesome views of the horses in the pastures. I’m sure because of the age & history of the house these kind of repairs need special TLC. But it would’ve been nice to enjoy the view from the door on that side of the house. The windows in the living room are beautiful big large windows. It would be nice to take advantage of the views they have. If the bushes were to be cut back some that would allow a view from those windows. Again, this is just my way of looking at it. Not trying to say one way is right or wrong. Agnes is very welcoming and kind and friendly! She made us feel right at home! She was very respectful of our privacy while we were there! And was very available if we needed anything at any time. Thank you Agnes!!! We wish you all the best in future ventures!

We used Traveler's Rest as a launch for area historic sites: it's almost equi-distant from Wiliamsburg/Yorktown/Jamestown, Mt Vernon, and Monticello. A bonus was finding a house w/a history and horses! It's on the same road as the area library and only 6 miles from a grocery. Agnes was raised w/horses, and her comfort around them and knowledge about them is evident. She took my daughter on a couple trail rides, infecting her with the desire to ride more. If you appreciate rural living, big dogs, horses, rustic old houses,and don't mind getting a little dirty (we mucked stalls for fun :-), its a lovely retreat.

Warm, friendly, and a space away from everything. We loved the horses and dogs.
