Williamsburg

"We just returned home from an amazing family vacation. We stayed for 5 nights. (6 adults & 3 children) The house is beautifully decorated. We had plenty of room indoors and outdoors. Very kid friendly. There are toys and books conveniently located in closets and nooks around the house. The yard is fenced in and our children enjoyed the playground. We loved taking the ferry to Jamestown. it is exactly 15 minutes to get across Most times we drove right on Sometimes we waited 5-10 minutes. The schedule does change in the evening from every half hour to hourly so one time we did have a wait. Our favorite places we took the ferry to were The Jamestown Settlement, Ripleys (loved the 4-D movies) the glass house (where you can watch glass blowing and shop), the Event Park (on the left side as soon as you get off the ferry $5 to park and you can swim in the river wasn't crowded) the Red, Hot and Blue BBQ (near Ripleys) and Food for Thought (next to Ripleys (they have gluten free options) Nearby the house we went to the Virginia Diner, Surrys Seafood, Bacons Castle and I highly recommend Ed-n-lo Antiques in Wakefield (so much good stuff check out their Facebook page :) there is also a children's clothing store upstairs and a few more antique stores on the same road (right near Virginia Diner). We did hike around the property after reading the Faery Story. It's beautiful and secluded (a lovely local woman told us a celebrity stayed here somewhat recently :) We had the pleasure of briefly meeting the owner, Cliff. If we ever head this way again we will stay here. A lovely historic home with a kid friendly yard is always more enjoyable than a hotel room for our family of 9. Thank you so much"
