A group of 9 of us stayed. We enjoyed the historical vibes and secluded peaceful setting. Host was very responsive to questions.

Amazing Place to Stay
If you love history and are visiting the Williamsburg area this is a perfect place to stay. The house and grounds are amazing and filled with all types of historic anecdotes. The beds were super comfy and there is ample space for a large family or multiple groups. We are agreed that after spending a week visiting all the historic sites the Williamsburg area has to offer staying at this property was the highlight of our trip. Thanks so much!

Another idyllic stay
This is the third time my family and my brother's family have rented this house together for a long weekend, and each visit has been more wonderful than the last. By now, everyone has their favorite bedrooms, favorite chairs, favorite places to hike through the woods -- it has become a place we both remember fondly and look forward to staying at again.

Great spot for a historic visit
Very cute, loved how the theme fit right in with our Colonial Williamsburg visit. Excellent hosts, very accommodating. We did not have the pleasure of meeting Joy, but Cliff was wonderful! Got a lot of information and history of the house and other stories about the area. Cliff was also very helpful in tending to a small issue that occurred right after arrival. A. Thank you!

Stay in the past
We had an amazing time at this property! Cliff is very responsive and a great host. The kids loved being able to “stay in the past” but have modern day amenities (I.e. A/C, and running water!). Staying here created an immersive experience added on when not in Colonial Williamsburg. We would definitely return.

Historic Getaway
The house is extraordinary and the location was just as beautiful. The Lightwood House while decorated impeccably, has a very home-like feeling to it. It is very private, and for those of us who prefer the rural lifestyle, it is perfect. We had a fabulous time. The house is clean, the appliances worked, check-in was easy and everything else is exactly as advertised. The hosts were very responsive to questions, and were willing to help out in every possible way. Staying at theThe Lightwood House was a memorable experience!

The house is absolutely magical. It’s like stepping back in time. So many incredible details. The owners put so much time and energy into restoring it. It was such a special part of our visit to historic Williamsburg. I feel lucky we found it.

What a wonderful place to stay. A really great house that makes you feel a part of colonial history surrounded by a beautiful forest, English garden and a fun hiking trail from the front door. Cliff and Joy couldn't have been more gracious. Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown , Yorktown and the historic plantations are a short drive and ferry away. This is a amazing house a very unique stay

We loved staying here. We enjoyed doing the puzzzles, reading a good selection of books, and looking at all the historical antiques.
The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the grounds lovely. It fit right into the history we were wanting to learn about in this area. Would definitely recommend it.

An Enchanting Stay at Lightwood
My family and I enjoyed a wonderful multi night stay over Fourth of July week. Cliff and Joy were the perfect hosts ensuring that everything was as smooth as possible. Lightwood is enchanting not just for children, but also for adults. It truly transported us away from the cares and worries of the world to a place where we could just focus on eachother. Thank you Cliff and Joy for sharing this amazing place with us! We definitely plan to return!

オーナー : Cliff and Joy Williams
Lightwood Forest is owned by Cliff and Joy Williams. Cliff began restoring the house in 1978 and its restoration has been a labor of love ever since. We are pleased to share this beautiful and beloved property with guests from around the world.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
Since the age of ten, I had always wanted to restore an historic house. Several years after moving to Williamsburg to work for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, I discovered Lightwood House abandoned and forlorn in rural, unspoiled Surry County, on the south side of the James River. The house was in an advanced state of deterioration, but still had great possibilities. I began the work in 1978 and after ten years had made considerable progress. However, it has been Joy's influence that has truly civilized the old place and turned it into the gem it is today. Having worked for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation for many years, I was familiar with the love that visitors to the area have for Colonial American history. With Williamsburg nearby, it seemed appealing that an eighteenth-century house could be enjoyed by guests as a home base from which to discover Virginia's historic sites.
この宿泊施設の特徴
Staying at Lightwood Forest is truly a unique and extraordinary experience and visiting the property can be a vacation in itself. Only a few places exist where it is possible to be so immersed at once in both colonial history and nature. Guests enter a different world after passing through the gates leading to Lightwood House, and stepping into the entrance hall is like traveling back in time to the early days of our nation. It can feel like a great English country house in miniature (after all, we only have five bedrooms, not fifty!) And although the feel of history is everywhere at Lightwood, all modern conveniences expected in the twenty-first century are provided, including broadband WIFI, cable TV, whirlpool tub, laundry facilities, air-conditioning and working fireplaces with very realistic gas logs. The extensive grounds and walking trails at Lightwood are a nature lover's (and a dog's) paradise, and many other historic and scenic sites and attractions are close by. Guests can visit Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, Busch Gardens, and Yorktown from the comfort and luxury of their own eighteenth-century home.
