I stayed in the Summer Kitchen and it was so cozy and comfy, just what i was looking for. Only issue was that the jets in the bathtub didn't work, and when I drained the tub, water came up in the shower. But it wasn't a big deal. It was spacious, and quiet and full of antique treasures. Very cool.

Its a great quiet and serene place to escape to, less than 2 hours from DC. It happened to be dog friendly which was perfect for our needs. Many wineries and restaurants nearby. Onsite dining was excellent for dinner and breakfast.

If you enjoy history, you will love staying on this wonderful historic estate. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the patio and looking out at the view with the mountains, the excellent breakfast, the friendly staff, and the charming cottage room with a real antique feel in spite of the necessary bathroom addition and very comfortable bed.
