"Starting the New Year right!"

Reviewed January 03, 2025 NEW

The staff was very accommodating. The historical events were great, especially the nation builder talks with Marquis de Lafayette, the Native American storytelling and the “Hang a Pirate” play. We stayed in a colonial house which was so comfortable. The food was good at the Kings Arms Tavern and Sheila’s Tavern.

"Colonial Home experience during Grand Illumination"

Reviewed December 28, 2024 NEW

2 couples stayed at the George Jackson House for the Grand Illumination. This is a whole house experience with 2 suites and dining room and kitchen. In the CW area near Campbells, we had an assigned parking spot and walked to whatever we were doing over the 4 days we spent there. It was comfortable and convenient! We made hors d’ourves one night and had a fire in the fireplace. Beds were queen sized and mostly ok but a little hard. There are a few little things that needed repair but nothing that interfered. It was hard to get info about this kitchen, but it had dishes, cookware, microwave. Coffee is Keurig, no pot. We greatly enjoyed this authentic Colonial House experience. Note: the bathrooms are small but adequate, one up and one down, with tub and shower. Also note: there are several small step-ups or down throughout the house where you have to be aware. Three steps to the door. Porch is sturdy but needs some repair. Overall, a wonderful, memorable experience!

The most amazing experience! The Christmas festivities were also so wonderful and full of memorable moments! We especially loved watching the Grand Illumination, the Carolers, and the burning of the Yuletide Log! Wow! We will be coming back!

"Immersion at Williamsburg"

Reviewed December 18, 2024 NEW

Immersion at Colonial Williamsburg is a wonderful way to learn about the past and understand the present. We also visited Jamestown and Yorktown. There's a lot to experience, and it evolves. We're looking forward to returning so we can learn more.
