A short drive west of the Williamsburg Historic Area, along the Route 5-Scenic Byway, will lead you back two centuries in time to a special country B&B inn property listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The rural tranquility of plantation country provides you with an escape from the twenty-first century at this elegant country retreat: Wind-down with porch rocking, croquet, bird-watching, badminton or star-gazing. Guests will find every modern convenience, such as private baths and air-conditioning, as well as luxuries of the past, such as turn-down service, wood-fires, a swimming pool and candlelight breakfast. Nearby are three fine restaurants, each featuring regional cuisine by candlelight, against the backdrop of Williamsburg's James River Plantation Country. Three generations of the Gordineer family graciously welcome you to their enclave of historic buildings which includes Piney Grove (1790), Ashland (1835), Dower Quarter (1835), Ladysmith (1857) and Duck Church (1917). The personal touches of the family are evident everywhere - the newer gardens, the Piney Grove "history" book, the nature trail and the barnyard of farm animals. The Gordineers will gladly assist you in your itinerary as you plan your visit to Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown and the James River Plantations, as well as Richmond and Petersburg's Civil War battlefields to the west. The Williamsburg-James River Plantation Sampler and Williamsburg's James River Plantation Country Grand Tour are package plans offered by Piney Grove at Southall's Plantation - 1790 and they include lodging, plantation touring and fine tavern dining. Special activities, including tours and dinners, are held at the plantation during Virginia 's Historic Garden Week, Civil War Re-Enactor's Day, Halloween and Christmas.
