Luxury Autumn Getaway
We had the best time at the Tiny Red Barn. We came to the area to visit Williamsburg, but our favorite part of the trip was relaxing at the barn. The property is absolutely gorgeous, completely serene and peaceful with breathtaking views. We spent time outside exploring, enjoyed s’mores by the fire, and cuddled up on the cozy seating on the screened in porch. The inside of the barn is immaculate. It was the cleanest, coziest and most meticulously decorated rental we have ever had. Our boys (5 & 9) loved the homemade cookies that greeted us, the leather rocker, sleeping in the loft and meeting the donkeys. Thank you so much for an amazing stay! We can’t wait to come back.

The beautiful, restful, Tiny Red Barn
The Tiny Red Barn is such a unique, delightful, and absolutely beautiful property. The space is clean and impeccably decorated, including all of the amenities you may need during your stay. We especially enjoyed our time relaxing in the screened in porch, the game selection and game time with our kids, paddling on the reservoir, and making s’mores around the fire pit. Virginia was communicative and available at any time, but gave us our space and privacy throughout our entire stay. It was so easy to melt into relaxation at this gorgeous property and we hope to stay at the Tine Red Barn again!

Attention to Detail
Loved the American flags attached to the trees as we drove in. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay because of how remarkable they made our living quarters!! The attention to detail was amazing. Personal robes, special soap as a gift as well as all the items desired when taking a shower, shampoo, razor, tooth brush, ect..a few adult beverages in the frig, cookies, and games both indoor and outdoor. The decorating done on the inside and outside was beautiful! The donkeys would greet us while on our walks. People who came to visit during our stay were also very impressed!

Truly a 5 star place
This is one of the best vacation homes we have stayed in. Very clean, comfortable beds, lots of thoughtful extras, and a friendly responsive host. We had fun on the trails around the property, fishing from the pier and just loving the house and natural surroundings. The location was great for getting out to local tourist stuff too. Our family had never spent any time with donkeys until we met the ones on the property. We immediately fell in love with those peaceful guys and looked forward to visiting every day. Thanks for the great stay — We are looking forward to returning!

Everything was as described in the posting. The cookies and eggs were absolutely fabulous and I loved my "keepsake" bar of soap. The kayaks were an awesome added bonus! The reservoir was so calm. The house is so beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. It was like coming home after the adventures at the theme parks. We could love 💖 to stay again in the future.

Wonderful Gem Convenient to Williamsburg and More!
I sent my retired parents to the Little Red Barn as a gift, and they loved it! All my communications with the hosts were friendly, easy and great! I asked my parents to send me their reviews so others could read about a great find. From one parent: We enjoyed our stay at the Little Red Barn immensely. Its location was an excellent jumping-off point for our tours of the Historic Triangle of Williamsburg. Each day we looked forward to returning to our “home away from home” and only wished we had more time to explore the surroundings with our dog. We highly recommend the Little Red Barn for a stay in the Williamsburg/Richmond area! From the other parent: We just loved the Tiny Red Barn! It was so comfy and cozy. Decorated beautifully. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept well. The kitchen was well stocked. The grounds were beautiful. Too cold to sit on the beautiful porch. The place even had a fire pit, picnic table and gas grill. All in red!! We truly enjoyed our visit.

We loved every minute of our stay at the tiny red barn. The barn is well decorated and enjoyed our night fire and watching Christmas movies. Just a short distance to Williamsburg.

Little Red Dream
There aren’t enough nice things to say about the Little Red Barn! We had a slight change in our travel plans and Virginia could not have been more gracious & accommodating. My sister-in-law made the trip with me and we both unanimously said as soon as we settled in, “We could live here!” Virginia met us when we arrived and showed us everything we needed to know. From the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies waiting for us when we arrived to the beautifully decorated unit, the perfectly appointed kitchen and bathroom, the peaceful, serene grounds and view of the reservoir, the holiday decorations and warm hospitality- everything was just perfect. We totally fell in love with the Little Red Barn & can’t wait to come back again! Virginia & Stephen attend to your every need when you stay with them. Their hospitality & beautiful property were the high point of our trip. Thank you for such a wonderful stay and the delightful home made soap! We hope to see you again soon! Merry Christmas! 🎄

When we arrived my children ran into the woods and began to explore. The area is such a relief from city life. With all the outings I planned the kiddos wanted to stay at the barn. The shower is amazingly relaxing. The beds are the softest ever. All of the amenities are as expected. I hope to return in the future.

We loved our week long stay at the “Tiny Red Barn”! It was a great home base for everything we wanted to see and do in the Williamsburg/ Richmond areas. The property itself is wonderful, extremely clean, beds were very comfortable and so many personal touches and amenities…the cookies awaiting on our arrival were an especially nice touch. We loved the dock, and had fun with the kayaks, paddleboat etc. Virginia and Stephen are amazing hosts and we would stay here again in a heartbeat.
