Forest, VA

Travel Guide

The property is beautiful! The entire insides of the house were burned at one point after his family sold the property. It was rebuilt inside when someone purchased it but once it was turned into a historical landmark, renovations began to take it back to it original interior. They are following the original plans that Thomas Jefferson created with the help of actual letters that were written to Jefferson’s head contractor at the time the house was being built. It’s going to be beautiful! Sad it’s not the original interior. But has a very interesting story!  It $13/pp to tour but worth it!

The elevator was out our entire trip. My 91 year old father had to take the stairs up and down to and from the room. This limited his ability to fully enjoy our trip because he avoided going on most of our outings. At least the front desk was able to move our room one flight down.

Everything was fine, and it was great to have free coffee and popcorn in the lobby. However, a group of college students were very noisy and rowdy, keeping us up late at night and waking us up. Everything else was good.

We had a great time and would return! Our group loved the house and it was perfect for our chill winter weekend away. We had some issues which took a moment to address but they were apologetic and took care of it quickly after finding someone to help fix the hot tub. Our one complaint is that we ...

Benjamin’s in Forest has always been our favorite restaurant. We were quite disappointed this time. Portions and quality were nothing like they have been in the past!
