Photos and Description of the Williamsburg vacation estate rental

Williamsburg area, Surry VA. Lightwood is an 18th-Century plantation house nestled in an ancient beech forest in rural Surry County, Virginia. It is surrounded by 70 acres of woods, fields, and streams, and is part of the land given by Chief Powhatan to Pocahontas and John Rolfe as a wedding gift. Two miles of walking trails wind through the property. Built circa 1760 and 1795, the house is completely restored, and offers exceptional woodwork, with much original detail, as well as all modern conveniences. A wonderful herb and flower garden is available for the use of our guests, as well as a fenced back yard with period outbuildings. While the surroundings are completely rural and secluded, the house is only 1.5 miles from the town of Surry, where basic essentials are available, and 3.5 miles to the free 24-hour, 20-minute car ferry ride to Jamestown and Williamsburg. From the dock on the other side of the river, Jamestown is 1/2 mile and Colonial Williamsburg six miles away.
