My family and I had a wonderful stay for Thanksgiving. The house truly feels like a home and the property is stunning - so many beautiful walks to do straight out of your front door. Much of the furniture, including the mattresses, is old and not necessarily the most comfortable, but the rest makes up for it.
The home was comfortable and spacious. Everything we hoped it would be.
Exceptional venue to stay at with beautiful estate and pool and garden. Perfect venue to hold our intimate wedding in the magical garden with gazebo as back drop. Wonderful stay with excellent communication and support from host. Highly recommended for an event or just staying in the area.
We booked both houses for a family stay for a local wedding. I booked 3 days before and 3 days after thinking that we would explore the area's history. The estate offered so much for our family that we never left. The swimming pool, the english walking garden, the tennis/pickle ball court, the two porches kept us entertained and busy. It ended up being the perfect place for us all!
Pictures don’t do it justice. What a wonderful location. Great for walks or just laying by the pool.
The grounds are amazing, and the house has all the charm you could want. Very cozy and every or nearly every bedroom has an en suite, which is remarkable for a home of this age. We spent two long days by the pool and playing tennis, ending the days with a walk through the garden and marveling at the expansive views and chatting with the grazing cows as the sun set. We enjoyed every minute. There was a major storm headed to Leesburg on the eve of our check in and it was handled perfectly - checking on us, letting us know where candles were in case of power outage, and offering a rescheduling of our stay if needed. I have already recommended it to friends! Thanks for a great stay.
Our family loved this property! perfect amount of room for our group of 11! BEAUTIFUL home and all the ammenties. Kids loved swimming and playing tennis. Also played some board games in the evenings. We also had big family dinners candle lit at the dinner table. That was a personal favorite of mine! We didnt get to spend much time at the house as we were traveling to dc quite a bit. We also took the metro which turned out so much better than driving! Went wine tasting and didnt realize Virginia doesnt have sweet wine like our state of Oklahoma lol Thank you for letting us stay!
Little Oatlands was an amazing place for our family to disconnect and spend time together. The grounds were perfect for walking and exploring and were one of our favorite spots. Every room had its own character and if you spent enough time looking through the artwork you can find original pieces by JBW which was a wonderful touch. The children explored every room even though we only stayed in a few, and for a device-free stay, they found plenty to keep themselves occupied. A short walk from the house was a very well-kept pool with an amazing view of the fields behind the house. At night we were amazed to see a field full of lightning bugs which was a fun evening activity trying to get them to land on you. The kitchen had almost everything we needed and we enjoyed having fancy dinner in the dining room, and the kids loved it so much that we had a fancy dinner with burgers. I can't express how rejuvenating it was to disconnect for a few days and spend time together as a family. Thank you for such wonderful memories.
Our extended family stayed here during a wedding at the adjacent Oakland’s Historic Garden. We really enjoyed the pool, the garden, and the large lawn overlooking the property. The home has 6 bedrooms and two kitchens providing plenty of space for family and visiting guests.
This property was perfect for a small family reunion. The property was breathtakingly beautiful, the pool was relaxing and lovely, the gardens were impeccable and the house was perfect. The kitchen was fully equipped, and we had both formal dinners inside and casual meals outside. Prettiest property I have ever seen.
We spent a nice week at Little Oatlands. The grounds are very nice. There are nice golf courses in the area (Bull Run, Mt Pleasant and Raspberry Falls). Nice vineyards too (Cana). The house is far enough away to enjoy the countryside but close enough for conveniences in Leesburg.
What a fabulous place to spend a week with the family. The grounds are beyond description, so if you don’t walk the trails you’re missing a big part of the experience. The pool was the center of activity with the tennis court a close second. And the garden is the place to get away from it all (the kids, haha). The century-plus farm house is huge with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for all 10 of us. And if you bring your dog, and I encourage you to, they’ll never have more fun either.
The property was amazing for a family get-together. The house was well stocked. The pool, yard, and formal gardens were great. It’s a great place to stay to hang out outside.
A wonderful old house full of twists and turns inside. The children loving exploring it. The very large outdoor lawn and the pool gave us a spacious feeling of relaxation and room to play. The house is well equipped for its guests. Unfortunately, suburban development is encroaching, so the true feeling of being out in the country is being eroded
It was a breeze staying at this property. We hoped we could have stayed longer . Never had trouble at all. My family had a wonderful time. Thank you again!
We had a great time here, primarily due to the size of the rental and the ability to host our large group relatively (25 min) close to the events we were there for. The out door spaces such as the pool and the formal gardens are great. Having a tennis court and equipment was something we enjoyed tremendously. The house is lovely, but a bit careworn-- for instance one of the chairs on the screened porch is kind of worn through in the seat, and should be replaced/repaired. A bit of updating furniture could help with the value of the rental.
If you want a perfect house, this isn't for you. If you want a historic house filled with treasures, and with a simply wonderful swimming pool, tennis courts and award winning garden, next to a very special historic house (National Trust for Historic Preservation) that you can walk over and visit and also see its garden, well then, this is the house for you. And when I say not perfect, there was nothing wrong with the house (the air conditioning was unexpectedly fantastic), I simply mean if you need the perfect new kitchen, you will not find it here. What you will find is the most charming old fashioned kitchen (with EVERY convenience) that will make you want to take yours back to a more simple, and perfect, reality.
