A Wonderful Vacation

My family stayed at this wonderful Farm House. The pool was fantastic and it was very clean. We were around an hour or so from Williamsburg, Bush Gardens, James Town, and other museums. My Son enjoyed the pond and had a great time catching fish. This is farm country it is quiet and at times you can here the cows moo on the next farm. The house was clean and comfortable. The owners were nice and they answered all my questions. We loved the time we were there!

Amazing place!!

The house itself is beautiful, clean, decorated very nicely. It is stocked with plenty of cookware and utensils. It is so quiet there at night- what a change from the city! The grounds are well kept and we were in the pool everyday. My husband enjoyed fishing and caught a few brag-worthy fish. If you enjoy bird watching you will love this place. I saw goldfinches, blue birds, indego buntings, 2 types of egrets, and many more. One night we had a bonfire and watched the bats. Our two huskies loved the place as well, and my boy dog was very much against leaving at the end. Pros: quiet, peaceful, stunningly gorgeous, sparkling pool, comfortably close to offsite activities Cons: My only slight complaint was that durring our short stay some non-emergency landscaping was scheduled which interfered with our secluded getaway. I feel this could have been arranged between bookings as we felt awkward swimming and reading by the pool as someone worked right next to us, and though the landscaper did a great job it was jarring having loud gas engine running although it was brief. Obviously a place this nicely manicured will need frequent upkeep and the owner did give notice. Things to note: there is someone else living in the building beside the house, I think it is the caretaker. He was quiet and did not bother us at all. There are full trees between the buildings that allow for privacy Overall I highly recommend this place for some rest, relaxation and beautiful wildlife watching!

Just Love Everything About LaVallee

Great house in a great location, and the pool is wonderful. Loved every minute of our 25 night stay, as well as our 14 night stay in 2021. Planning to stay even more nights next summer. While a pleasant 2 hour drive for us, only 30-45 minutes for people in and around Richmond. A real gem in a bucolic location. We could not have found a better place. The owners are fantastic and respond quickly to all questions.
