Beautiful property

The property is quite lovely, surrounded by the rolling hills of western Virginia. The house was perfect, a lot of space to spread out if needed. We spent our evenings on the screened in back porch. The pool and gardens were an added bonus. Every evening the neighbor cows would graze along the fence line- just a lovely get away from the City!

Perfect property

We had an amazing stay at Little Oatlands! The property is a dream — every room is beautiful from the furnishings to paintings to the views, and the extensive grounds are absolutely unmatched. Kim was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the rental process and while we were staying at the property. It’s perfect for a family getaway, reunion, or wedding, and we couldn’t recommend it enough! We can’t wait to return!

Perfect Family Vacation

Little Oatlands was the perfect spot for a family gathering/vacation. The pool and the garden kept the children who were with us (ages 5 and 2), entertained for hours. The "toy closet" has a generous supply of tennis balls, rackets, plastic baseball bats, and basketballs. The fire pit served us well for roasting marshmallows. The house was spotless upon our arrival. We highly recommend this spot and hope to return next year!

Perfect Wedding Venue

Little Oatlands was the perfect place for our outdoor wedding and we’re very happy we chose it. If you are planning to do the same, and have family stay in the guest house for the weekend, read the contract *carefully*. We skimmed it and failed to realize that you’ll need to take all trash bags to the dumpster by the barn and strip all of the bed sheets and put them downstairs, etc…

Expansive and charming

This property was perfect for our family reunion, in conjunction with a wedding in Middleburg. The house was interestingly rambling, and had perfect spaces for everyone who came. The grounds, garden, and swimming pool were cherries on top! It was the perfect setting for a large gathering, with plenty of spaces for different activities and conversations. Such a unique property!

Virginia Wedding Destination

Little Oatlands was home for 9 of us for a flower filled week in May. We assembled from KC, BC, CA and VA to attend my daughter’s wedding overlooking the Potomac at Murray Hill. The property and approach to Little Oatlands takes your breath away! Flowering Dogwoods line the drive blending with the white fence and homes in the distance. Each of us walked down the lane to read the plaques and the history of the preserved property. Certainly a history lesson and it would be wonderful to know more. There are grand rooms and humble spaces in the Main House. We enjoyed them all! The owners shared linens and China for the generous dining room and we lit candles one evening for dinner. The 4 seats at the kitchen table were the ones in highest demand. We all sat on the front brick patio most mornings gazing at the fields ahead. Cows would appear at the fence, Blue birds and Cardinals flew in daily and Bunnies peeked through the edges. But the 2 acre garden, a sanctuary in itself, was the delight of us all! The photos on the website cannot begin to capture it all! It is not a modern property and is not fashioned that way. It is a loving time capsule of years forever gone. Rarely will you find a place that you may call your own for a few days to imagine what it must have been like to live at that time. My granddaughter and her father learned pickleball, we learned to make endcaps for wedding aisle chairs and there was a pick your own Strawberry patch at the start of the lane.

Fantastic Home for a Holiday

My family and I had a wonderful stay for Thanksgiving. The house truly feels like a home and the property is stunning - so many beautiful walks to do straight out of your front door. Much of the furniture, including the mattresses, is old and not necessarily the most comfortable, but the rest makes up for it.

Beautiful and so much to do

We booked both houses for a family stay for a local wedding. I booked 3 days before and 3 days after thinking that we would explore the area's history. The estate offered so much for our family that we never left. The swimming pool, the english walking garden, the tennis/pickle ball court, the two porches kept us entertained and busy. It ended up being the perfect place for us all!

Beautiful place

The grounds are amazing, and the house has all the charm you could want. Very cozy and every or nearly every bedroom has an en suite, which is remarkable for a home of this age. We spent two long days by the pool and playing tennis, ending the days with a walk through the garden and marveling at the expansive views and chatting with the grazing cows as the sun set. We enjoyed every minute. There was a major storm headed to Leesburg on the eve of our check in and it was handled perfectly - checking on us, letting us know where candles were in case of power outage, and offering a rescheduling of our stay if needed. I have already recommended it to friends! Thanks for a great stay.

Hogue Family Vacation 2023

Our family loved this property! perfect amount of room for our group of 11! BEAUTIFUL home and all the ammenties. Kids loved swimming and playing tennis. Also played some board games in the evenings. We also had big family dinners candle lit at the dinner table. That was a personal favorite of mine! We didnt get to spend much time at the house as we were traveling to dc quite a bit. We also took the metro which turned out so much better than driving! Went wine tasting and didnt realize Virginia doesnt have sweet wine like our state of Oklahoma lol Thank you for letting us stay!

Perfect Family Trip

Little Oatlands was an amazing place for our family to disconnect and spend time together. The grounds were perfect for walking and exploring and were one of our favorite spots. Every room had its own character and if you spent enough time looking through the artwork you can find original pieces by JBW which was a wonderful touch. The children explored every room even though we only stayed in a few, and for a device-free stay, they found plenty to keep themselves occupied. A short walk from the house was a very well-kept pool with an amazing view of the fields behind the house. At night we were amazed to see a field full of lightning bugs which was a fun evening activity trying to get them to land on you. The kitchen had almost everything we needed and we enjoyed having "fancy" dinner in the dining room, and the kids loved it so much that we had a fancy dinner with burgers. I can't express how rejuvenating it was to disconnect for a few days and spend time together as a family. Thank you for such wonderful memories.

This property was perfect for a small family reunion. The property was breathtakingly beautiful, the pool was relaxing and lovely, the gardens were impeccable and the house was perfect. The kitchen was fully equipped, and we had both formal dinners inside and casual meals outside. Prettiest property I have ever seen.

Family Get Away

We spent a nice week at Little Oatlands. The grounds are very nice. There are nice golf courses in the area (Bull Run, Mt Pleasant and Raspberry Falls). Nice vineyards too (Cana). The house is far enough away to enjoy the countryside but close enough for conveniences in Leesburg.

Feeling Our Oats

What a fabulous place to spend a week with the family. The grounds are beyond description, so if you don’t walk the trails you’re missing a big part of the experience. The pool was the center of activity with the tennis court a close second. And the garden is the place to get away from it all (the kids, haha). The century-plus farm house is huge with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for all 10 of us. And if you bring your dog, and I encourage you to, they’ll never have more fun either.

A Place of Our Own

A wonderful old house full of twists and turns inside. The children loving exploring it. The very large outdoor lawn and the pool gave us a spacious feeling of relaxation and room to play. The house is well equipped for its guests. Unfortunately, suburban development is encroaching, so the true feeling of being out in the country is being eroded

Quirky place for a stay, outdoor space made the visit

We had a great time here, primarily due to the size of the rental and the ability to host our large group relatively (25 min) close to the events we were there for. The out door spaces such as the pool and the formal gardens are great. Having a tennis court and equipment was something we enjoyed tremendously. The house is lovely, but a bit careworn-- for instance one of the chairs on the screened porch is kind of worn through in the seat, and should be replaced/repaired. A bit of updating furniture could help with the value of the rental.
