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.

The Holladay House Bed and Breakfast in historic downtown Orange is one of the excellent Virginia inns that you can select. This historic home, built in 1830, has been restored and decorated to reflect both the home’s 19th-century charm as well as all the romance one expects at a fine bed and breakfast.

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.

The first Montpelier package available is the Montpelier Wine Weekend. This three-day, two-night package includes lodging at your inn, dinners at local restaurants, a tour of Montpelier and tastings at six local wineries.

Other fun options are the History Weekend and History Weekday packages, which also are three-day, two-night trips. These packages include lodging, dinners and a tour of Montpelier including the mansion and grounds. The Dig in Style package is another option, perfect for those who have a little more time. This 7-day, 6-night package includes all your lodging, dinners, box lunches and tours of Montpelier, as well as special dinners with the Archaeology staff at Montpelier. In addition, you’ll get to spend several days digging at Montpelier’s archaeological dig site.

If you are celebrating a special occasion or just want to make your bed and breakfast experience extra special, consider one of these add-ons. The Holladay House innkeepers can arrange to have fresh flowers in your room, a homemade lava cake for two or even a private, in-room massage. There are plenty of other choices available, as well.
