Perfect getaway for teens and adults. House was wonderful and had everything you could need. Hosts were fantastic and gave great recommendations for local spots and a goat farm. We will definitely return again and will recommend this oasis to all!

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.

Beautiful setting!
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. The perfect location to relax and unwind. We enjoyed the fresh cookies upon arrival and the selection of hot teas. Definitely recommend!

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! 🎄

Perfect Getaway
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.

Perfect Little Barn
Wonderful location. Well thought out property. Had everything you would have wanted in terms of activities. Amazing decor and detail to the barn. Loved the nighttime lighting with the window candles. The outdoor fire pit was fully stocked and very convenient. The kayaks were easy to get to and perfect for our family. I could go on and on. Such a perfect vacation spot.

Beautiful property!
We loved our time at the Tiny Red Barn! The property is beautiful and the house is so cozy. We used it as a weekend getaway to Busch Gardens, so didn't spend as much time at the house as I would have liked. I guess we'll just have to come back!
