An overnight stay at the Blue Bell offers a chance to experience the beauties of Virginia’s “Golden Age” while enjoying the original colonial tavern like those in Colonial Williamsburg.  The house has been furnished with exquisite antiques while providing contemporary comforts.

Its perfect proportions belie its spaciousness.  With a large living room, three bedrooms, two baths, kitchen and informal dining area, this is an inviting dwelling-place.  A smaller adjacent 1740 cottage, elegantly appointed as well, is also available for overnight, weekend, or weekly rental.  Both houses and the surrounding grounds have been immaculately maintained.  Additionally, walking areas with extensive gardens beckon the visitor with English boxwood, camellias, azaleas, and rhododendron, particularly glorious in the spring.

These are part of Mary and David Peebles‘ Lisburne estate, adored by visitors to Historic Garden Week for forty years.  A tennis court is available also for sporting alternatives.  The Cottages at Lisburne are in harmony with nature amidst beautiful gardens and tranquil pastures with our Llama, Bojangles, and his dutiful followers, a dozen Dorset sheep. Our buttercup meadows offer a breathtaking sight in the springtime.

There is an original ice house on the grounds along with an outside small quaint kitchen of 1903.  Most of all, the Cottages at Lisburne reflect the generous and thoughtful attention to detail in hosting their guests.

Lisburne is located on Vaughn’s Creek, a finger of the Severn River, one of many beautiful rivers in Gloucester
