Terrific Travel Tips

Holidays are time to enjoy family and friends, but so often the holidays become a series of stressful days of meal planning and shopping and cleaning that take away the fun of the season. Why not enjoy all the beauty and ambiance of Thanksgiving, without any of the fuss? Book a stay at a historic Virginia bed and breakfast and leave your stress behind.

The Holladay House, located in Orange, Virginia, is an ideal place to spend a restful Thanksgiving. Innkeepers Sam and Sharon Elswick delight in creating a traditional gourmet feast each year for their guests. This special Thanksgiving dinner is just $45 per guest and includes the signature turkey and all the trimmings, as well as a selection of locally produced wines.

In addition to the dinner, the innkeepers at this Virginia bed and breakfast also are offering a special discount for guests who book more than one night. Book a second night, and you will receive 25 percent off the second night’s stay. If you book three consecutive nights, the third night is half-off. These two offers cannot be combined.

The Holladay House, which dates back to’30, rests along historic Virginia Route 15, part of the National Park’s Service’s Journey Through Hallowed Ground. This Virginia inn is one of the many interesting historic stops along this trail. The beautifully preserved inn offers romantic guest rooms and plenty of amenities, such as whirlpool tubs and fireplaces.

In addition to offering Thanksgiving dinner, the innkeepers at this Virginia inn are happy to help guests plan daily excursions. The Holladay House is ideally located near a myriad of interesting activities, from wineries to the homes of three U.S. presidents. James Madison’s home, Montpelier, is just four miles from the inn. Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and James Monroe’s home Ash-Lawn Highland are about a half-hour from the inn. The innkeepers offer free wine tasting passes to several of the local wineries and also have several unique packages that combine inn stays and trips to the local presidential houses.

So book a stay at Holladay House and enjoy a unique, historic and relaxing Thanksgiving. The only thing you’ll miss is all the work and clean-up that are part of a traditional holiday dinner.
