About this property

The Fenton Room in historic Holladay House

Staying at the Holladay House is taking a step into American history. One previous owner was a grand-nephew of President James Madison, and his daughter's wedding reception in the house counted J.E.B. Stuart among its guests.

The Fenton is on back side of the house, with a view of the enormous evergreen magnolia tree in the back yard.

There are five other guest bedrooms in the Holladay House: three others on the second floor and two on the walk-out basement floor.

Your hosts live in a suite on the first floor, where also are found the common-area parlor, study, and dining room.
