Great place to stay!

Plenty of comfortable space indoors and several patio spots outdoors. Easy to access from interstate and lots of parking for guests cars. Pet friendly was important to us and there’s even a fenced dog run. Spotlessly clean with many thoughtful amenities. Quite private but host was attentive by text and emails before and during our stay.

Beautiful Historic Property

We were so lucky to find this amazing property! The pictures don’t do it justice. Beds were extremely comfortable, house was very clean and well maintained. All bedrooms had well-appointed bathrooms. While we were there due to emergency repairs to our home, this would be an amazing place for a bridal party.

Wonderful Historic Home

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful old home. Our family was attending a memorial service in West Point and the location was excellent. There were four adults, one teenager, and two twelve year olds, so it was an excellent fit. My only regret was that family events kept us from taking advantage of everything the inn had to offer.

Colonial Life

The house was amazing. The deco was beautiful. The two coffee stations was perfect. In a couple of the bedrooms, there was a lot of road noise. But, the ambience of the house was so perfect, that a little road noise did not interfere with sleeping.

The grounds were lovely . The 2 coffee stations with a huge selection of coffees and cocoas were a welcome treat . Jess was very friendly and was very knowledgeable about the local history . We had fun eating at Martha's Kitchen .

A Hallmark Christmas

A group of 8 adults, 1 toddler, and 1 guide dog for my visually impaired mother all fit into this very cozy historical home. The whole place is gorgeous, the grounds have multiple outdoor seating areas (fire pit, a gazebo area, a deck area with a full seating arrangement etc.) and the grounds are lovely and go on for acres. There is a cozy little dinner directly across the street that we definitely stopped into. This place is less than 30 mins to Busch Gardens and/or Williamsburg (we did both and I drove). All the beds were so so comfy and had plenty of warm blankets and pillows. The tea service area on both floors had everything we needed for a hot coffee or tea throughout the day (and we had many haha). The living room area cozily accommodated all of us as we opened our Christmas presents, watched football, and gathered around Christmas movies. The owners are amazing, welcoming, and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. For instance, not only is my mom blind, but she recently hurt her foot and was wearing a boot. I never said anything or asked anything but they shifted things around to make sure the ground floor room was open for us! It was such an amazing gesture to make sure we were all taken care of. The house itself has so much history and the decor was all these incredible originals and antiques! I felt almost like I'd been allowed to stay inside one of the colonial Williamsburg homes and to touch all of it up close! It was Hallmark Christmas perfect.

Great Weekend Getaway

The Vaiden Inn offered us an opportunity to relax and reconnect as a family for a weekend. The accomodations were extremely comfortable for the 6 of us and had all of the amenities of home. We did walk around the property before it started raining. Any American history enthusiast would really enjoy this location. The house and the grounds are simply amazing. It's too bad we couldn't stay longer than a weekend...there's always next time! -The Perez Family

Just what we were looking for.

The Inn was just what we were looking for. It was liking stepping back in time. Perfect location and accommodated our family of 7. House was decorated for Christmas. Santa was able to come down the chimney with the grandson gifts. Even though we only had the kitchenet we where still able to cook most of our meals. Jess was a true angel when a family emergency arrived. I highly recommend staying at The Vaiden Inn.

A lovely inn / large house close to many attractions

We had a great time staying at the Vaiden Inn! We (two families of four, adults and children), just spent my son's 7th birthday at the inn so we'd be in close proximity for a day at Busch Gardens. The home was large, convenient, and well appointed. The host was helpful and accessible. Thanks!

The perfect solution for my family and I

My family and I were in town for a wedding and this was the perfect location for our long weekend getaway. I appreciated Jess’s patience as I had a ton of questions and just wanted to find a cute place to stay and relax. This felt like home and honestly we would have stayed for a whole week if our schedules allowed!! We can’t wait to come back!!

Wonderful stay in gorgeous Inn

We all had such a lovely time staying at this historic Inn! The included amenities were so helpful such as the coffee bar, water cooler, and ice maker. We went to Martha’s Kitchen which was right across the street twice, as they were so good! Jess was super nice and gave us all the information we needed and checked in on us. We all wish we had had more time to enjoy the property such as the outside seating area and fire pit, but we spent quite a bit of time away while visiting Busch Gardens. I would highly recommend this location for any larger group wanting to enjoy a unique stay while enjoying the area.

Quiet, Comfy Inn

It's a comfy, quiet Inn located about a 1/2 hour from Busch Gardens. It's a lovely historic place. Even though there are buildings around it's so quiet, it took us a little getting used to as we're not used to it being that quiet. Jess is a wonderful host. She is very responsive to any messages and fixes any issues asap. The Inn has plenty of space for a family. The tv's are all streaming or over the air broadcast. I thought there was satellite on 1 tv but didn't have it, no big deal we made things work. We didn't use the lighted patio or firepit. The AC keeps the place very cool. We had a very nice time there.
