We loved the “disappearing” bathroom in room 3029 in the Chiswell-Bucktrout building! Our room was clean and comfortable. It was great to be farther away from the shopping district and have a scenic and peaceful walk to the Capitol.

A frequent visitor to the Brick House Tavern, a Colonial Houses property, I particulary enjoy the lovely decor ) even if a bit dated) reminding me of staying in my mother's homes on Beacon Hill in Boston and York Harbor, Maine. Conveniently located, walking anywhere in Colonial Williamsburg is a breeze. The staff here and at the Williamsburg Inn provide exemplary service. I'll definitely return!

Please be aware that there is an additional $30 per day resort fee whether or not you use the resort facilities. The check in location is not co-located with the room. The facility has steep steps that would be difficult for elderly or handicapped to access.

The colonial houses are lovely!! The check-in location (the Williamsburg Inn) is amazing. The houses are nice, but their best quality by far is the location and history. If I stayed in the same room somewhere else, I wouldn’t have been nearly as impressed. Continental breakfast would have been nice and the walls are very thin. I wasn’t too bothered by either because it was such a cool place to stay

My ONLY complaint was booking through a 3rd party, the resort fees I was charged at the property were more than the 3rd party quoted. Everything else was perfect and we enjoyed it so much.

We loved the little colonial cottage 1772. What a great way to get an authentic stay, if that’s what you are looking for! The great thing about the old colonial cottages is they are right in the heart of colonial Williamsburg walkable to everything or to a bus stop. We loved learning the history behind every cottage.

Incredible Find in Colonial Williamsburg
Amazing value right in Colonial Willamsburg. The property has colonial era buildings scattered over blocks that are cozy and comfortable. A Wiliamsburg friend was amazed that this existed. I did not use the common facilities. I look forward to returning.

My husband and I stayed here while moving our daughter into her college dorm at W&M. Keeping in mind that this is a 250ish year old house and is meant to feel authentic with a few modern upgrades (plumbing, AC, TV, etc) it was in excellent condition. The staff was very polite and helpful, We’ll definitely stay again when we come back to visit our daughter.
