Get away with the wife.

Beautiful property with great privacy and scenery. Extremely clean and very comfortable. Stayed for four nights with my wife and our dog while we enjoyed the area. Couldn't ask for a more perfect location. Owners were very respectful and polite. We enjoyed greeting the donkeys each morning!

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!

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!

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.

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!

Absolutely beautiful!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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! 🎄

We loved The Tiny Red Barn! My son loved the dock and caught quite a few fish! We even decided to skip some sightseeing just so we could relax and enjoy the property more. Very clean and welcoming! Beds are very comfortable! Do not hesitate to book this place...we didn't want to leave! You are close to many activities but far enough away to really unwind and relax! Beautiful location!

Virginia was AWESOME! She was incredibly quick to answer any questions we had and always pointed us in the right direction—including where to find great pizza!The property was immaculate, yet still felt warm and inviting. It was beautifully maintained without ever feeling like we were afraid to touch anything. We were genuinely sad to leave.The fresh eggs and homemade cookies were the icing on the cake and made our stay even more special.If I had to suggest one small improvement, it would be a little more dresser space for clothes. Even that is a very minor detail and certainly wouldn’t keep us from coming back.Between the location, the water, and an amazing host, this place is absolutely spectacular. We can’t wait to return.Thank you, Virginia, for being AWESOME!

My family of 4 stayed there and my brother and sister in law joined us for half the stay. It was so cute, clean and well appointed. Communication with host was super quick and pleasant. My 13 year old twins loved going out by the lake and catching frogs and lightening bugs (the critters remained unharmed) and petting the donkeys. We were able to visit Williamsburg and Busch Gardens about 30 minutes away then enjoy the rural setting and relax.

The pictures on the site are good. When you walk into the house it is bigger and a comfortable home. Virginia was a gracious host. My husband, daughter, and grandchildren caught fish from the dock. They also enjoyed the kayaks. We plan to visit again!
