We stayed in the Colonial Houses for two nights when we were in town for a wedding at the Inn. The nice part about the colonial homes is that you are right in the middle of everything. I thought the price for the colonial homes was a lot more reasonable, authentic and centrally located than some of the other Williamsburg... more

My husband and I just returned from a four day stay at the Colonial Houses (Merchant's Tavern) in a queen room on the ground floor facing Duke of Gloucester Street. We arrived late on a Friday night after a horrendous drive from DC down I95 and were pleased to find such a nice welcome at the Inn when we checked... more

My wife and I just returned from a weekend in Williamsburg for a friends wedding. The wedding was being held at the Rockerfeller Building (across the street from the Williamsburg Lodge) and I wanted to stay some place I could walk to. The Lodge was sold out and the Inn was too expensive, so we decided to stay in one... more

We stayed at Colonial Houses (at the Market Square Tavern, to be exact) for one night in early August. We were disappointed, to say the least. The room smelled like inside a tomb, it was humid, damp, there was mould on the wall and the whole place just really didn't look at all like anything they have displayed on their... more

We had a very nice stay in a Williamsburg Colonial House. We rented the bottom floor of a huse built in the 1700's. My wife and I stayed in the master bedroom with queen canopy bed and period style furniture. My daughter stayed in the sitting room on a fold out couch. On this trip there was nobody that rented... more

We stayed in the Chiswell-Bucktrout house just behind the Kings Head Tavern for two nights at the beginning of Memorial Day weekend. The building is wonderfully historic, as is the furniture although there are all the mod cons - A/C, TV etc. The location is extremely convenient, being just steps away from the Duke of Gloucester Street and the Capitol,... more

The furthest thing from the Holiday Inn, the colonial homes provide you with a romantic but true view of how it might have been to live in the 18th century but with the modern upgrades today's traveler expects. Located right in Colonial Williamsburg, you can walk out the front door of the home or tavern in which you're staying and... more

We visited Colonial Williamsburg and stayed in the Orrell House for 3 nights. To get the most experience out of your stay here, the Colonial Houses are the best option. You can park right outside of your house, which was nice. You check in at the registration building in front of the Williamsburg Inn, then you follow the concierge in... more

My husband and I spent four days recently in the Lightfoot Tenement, a Williamsburg, Virginia, colonial rental home. A perfect place for a couple, it is located behind the Magazine and just steps away from a CW bus stop. The house consists of a living room, a bedroom with a canopy bed, a small kitchenette, a dressing area and a... more
