About this property

The Fenton Room in historic Holladay House

Staying at the Holladay House is taking a step into American history. One previous owner was a grand-nephew of President James Madison, and his daughter's wedding reception in the house counted J.E.B. Stuart among its guests.

The Fenton is on back side of the house, with a view of the enormous evergreen magnolia tree in the back yard.

There are five other guest bedrooms in the Holladay House: three others on the second floor and two on the walk-out basement floor.

Your hosts live in a suite on the first floor, where also are found the common-area parlor, study, and dining room.
For entertainment, guests can expect to find TVs. Kitchens, fireplaces, and balconies are other standard amenities. Limited housekeeping is available.

Host was quick to respond to emails. Very flexible with early check-in and allowed us to leave our car a little past checkout.
