Charming Farmhouse on Historic Westover Grounds
Nestled on the storied grounds of Historic Westover in Charles City, Virginia, this beautifully renovated farmhouse offers a one-of-a-kind escape into the quiet beauty of the countryside. Surrounded by rich colonial history and sweeping natural landscapes, it's the perfect setting for guests seeking peace, nature, and a touch of the past.
The Farmhouse features two queen beds and one full bed, all with fresh, high-quality bedding and linens provided for a restful night’s sleep. We further provide an incredibly comfortable foam mattress roll away twin bed. The first-floor bathroom includes a classic shower/tub combo, with a new floor and, of course, sparkling clean from top to bottom. Upstairs, the brand-new second full bathroom features a modern walk-in shower, offering convenience and comfort for guests.
The kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials to cook and dine in—including coffee, cookware, utensils, and all the basics. The dining room centers around a stunning farmhouse table, creating a warm, communal space that brings everyone together for meals or game nights.
The living room is cozy and inviting, anchored by a plush sectional sofa perfect for gathering the group to watch TV, relax, or catch up after a day exploring. Soft lighting, thoughtful decor, and modern touches make this space ideal for unwinding.
And of course, bathroom towels, toiletries, and essentials are all provided, so you can pack light and feel right at home.
As experienced and attentive hosts, we’re always available if you need us—offering local recommendations, quick responses, and a welcoming touch to ensure your stay is seamless.
Step outside and breathe in the fresh air as you unwind around the outdoor firepit, grill up a meal, or sip your coffee with views of the James River. Stroll down to the riverbanks, tour the historic Westover grounds, or spend your days birdwatching and exploring the scenic byways of this beautiful region.
