If you are a history buff in search of a vacation packed with exciting adventures, look no further than the village of Orange, Virginia. This historic hamlet is just minutes from the homes of three U.S. presidents as well as a myriad of other historic sites. The staff at Montpelier, the home of President James Madison, has even teamed up with several local innkeepers to create all-inclusive tour and lodging packages.

Among the participating inns is the charming Holladay House Bed and Breakfast. Located in the historic downtown district of Orange, Virginia, the inn dates back to 1830 and has been beautifully restored to reflect its 19th-century heritage.

There are several romantic guest rooms and suites, many with amenities such as a fireplace, double whirlpool tub or a private patio. Luxurious linens, fluffy towels and soft robes are among the other amenities that will leave you feeling pampered and content. The innkeepers prepare a delectable full breakfast each morning, a perfect start to a day exploring Montpelier, which is just five minutes away.

After choosing your inn, choose a schedule of events at Montpelier. There are several different packages for you to enjoy. The Montpelier Wine Weekend includes three days of fun and two nights at the inn. You’ll enjoy wine tastings at six local wineries, as well as a full tour of Montpelier. This package also includes dinners at fine, local restaurants.

For history buffs, try the History Weekend or History Weekday packages. These three-day, two-night packages include your lodging and breakfast at the inn, dinners at local restaurants and a tour of Montpelier. If you have more time available, the 7-day Dig in Style Package includes lodging and breakfast at your inn; a special first-night dinner and a farewell dinner with the director of archaeology; more dinners at local restaurants; a tour of Montpelier; and five days of working at Montpelier’s archaeological dig.

In addition, the innkeepers at The Holladay House also offer special extras to help create an even more memorable getaway. You can book a private, in-room massage, have fresh flowers placed in your room or even add on a freshly baked lava cake for two. There are also a variety of other packages available at this romantic Virginia bed and breakfast.
