We know there’s a lot of uncertainty right now, but that one thing is for sure: we are all craving our families and friends more than ever. You might be a part of a family that has a reunion every few years. Or, maybe your family has never had a formal reunion because everyone feels connected via social media and no one has ever taken the initiative to plan a day or weekend together.
Each year we welcome our family to the Holladay House for a big Thanksgiving dinner and to celebrate Christmas, so not to brag, but we’re basically family reunion hosting experts. We know planning any family event can be time-consuming, but a reunion brings unique challenges while trying to bring everyone together and coordinate schedules. Our expertise can help you host a family reunion at the Holladay House, where you can rent the entire inn while we make breakfast and help make sure there’s an activity for everyone to enjoy.
As a top venue for intimate weddings and elopements, we are pros at creating and hosting people for special times, including reunions. Our inn can accommodate 14 people, across six unique suites. Imagine coming together for breakfast, a mini adventure during the day, and then retreating to your private patio in the Ivy Suite for a little siesta before a group dinner at one of the local guest favorites, like The Light Well.
Our location in Orange County, Virginia, makes it easy for families from multiple states to convene in the Piedmont region of the Commonwealth, since we are only a few hours away from the Captial region, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Maryland, southwest Virginia, and West Virginia. We are just 30 minutes away from the Charlottesville airport, an hour hop from the Richmond Airport, and less than two hours from Dulles, plus we offer free parking.
The Holladay House is surrounded by experiences that will interest everyone. History buffs and school-aged kids can take a day trip to Monticello or Montpelier. For those in your family that like to imbibe, we are located in the perfect area for taking beer and wine tours for tastings of Virginia’s specialties. Not to mention, we can arrange for all of the transportation, too. Outdoor enthusiasts might want hiking, horseback riding, golfing, or kayaking on their agenda. And if a little shopping therapy is in order, the town and region have everything from boutique to barn.
Although we take care of breakfast, you and your family can indulge in some amazing meals during your reunion weekend. We have great local restaurants surrounding us from upscale to Southern comfort and BBQ. Plus, we can help you arrange tasting menus, group reservations, and coordinate a special evening to celebrate being together.
Orange County was one of the first counties that started the American frontier, making a stay at the Holladay House perfect for genealogy research. We are located only one block away from the Orange County Historical Society and the Orange County Courthouse, where people visit to gain access to the primary records available when studying their family history.
With all of these options (and more) available, your family reunion at the Holladay House will be a time for fun, fellowship, relaxation, and connecting with your loved ones. Don’t forget, every visit includes a two-course breakfast, wi-fi, TV and movies, local Virginia beer and wine, and our expertise as your personal concierge. So, ready to rally the troops and visit us? Get in touch to talk about the best way to host your family at the Holladay House this year.
