This property is somehow even more stunning in person than in the photos. Absolutely beautiful and the perfect location for our weekend trip to Williamsburg. We have stayed in a lot of places over the years, and this one stands out as the most thoughtfully appointed home yet. Chuck was also very kind and responsive, which is always appreciated. We’re already planning our next stay at Blisland!

This truly was a country luxury retreat. If you are visiting the area or are local and want a comfortable get away, I highly recommend! Exceptionally clean with high quality everything! Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with attention to detail in every nook in the entire house. The sound system added to the coziness of the house as it played soothing music upon arrival. The home is a historical treasure.

Blisland 1749I have to say this is definitely the best VRBO that I have ever stayed at. It’s definitely five star.It’s quiet, easy to get to. From the front porch to historic Williamsburg including parking was only 20 minutes.The interior architecture and history is remarkable. The layout is spacious and cozy at the same time. The decor is over the top. The kitchen is is well equipped. The hosts have a gem here. I can’t thank them enough. I’ve already booked it for next year.
It was even decorated for the holidays. What a treat. It says a lot for the hosts.
Entrance to the great room.

What an absolutely beautiful home. The reno on the home could not have been any better. Communications with the owner was easy. Very helpful. Very close to Williamsburg and Jamestown. You could never pick a finer place. Thank you Chuck.
