Boyd Tavern House | Historic Jefferson Estate across from Clifton Inn

1 Bedroom House in Boyd Tavern, Charlottesville

Built in 1732, Locust Grove Tavern was originally part of the Monticello plantation in the Jefferson estate. Over time, the tavern has been used as a jail, school house, and grocery store, becoming a residential home in 1857 and still retains many of its original features. This room has two full-size beds and a private bath. Crib size floor mattress can be provided if needed for a small child.
This historic home is almost 300 years old and was in the estate of Thomas Jefferson's father. Originally used as a tavern, it sits above the Rivanna River where a wharf at the base of the property was built by Thomas Jefferson so tobacco, farm produce and other goods could be moved by flatboat to Richmond, via a connection with the James River at Scottsville. Locust Grove Tavern was surrounded by tobacco barns and storage buildings and was at the heart of the Shadwell area (Shadwell being the farm owned by Thomas Jefferson's father).
Guest access
Access to kitchen, large Virginian porch with seating and dining area overlooking sweeping treetop vistas, outdoor patio and garden included.
A toddler crib size mattress can be provided to be placed on the floor if needed at no additional charge.
Other things to note
This estate provides great additional accommodation for any guests attending a wedding at the Clifton Inn as it is 1 minute by bridge across the river.
The home retains its original stone walls, wood floors, windows and doors, and is an historic experience. Guests may tour the home and may be amused to see the original jail adjacent to the "cask room" that was part of the tavern.

Summary: Our stay was quick and easy, but it was a warm beautiful April night and I did not think to look for air-conditioning or fans in reviews. It did not have either so it was a warm night in the room.The bathrooms amenities were lovely, but there was no mirror on the wall for doing your hair and putting on makeup, but they did make available a small handheld mirror it was hard to get ready for an event. But everything else was lovely. The video of how to get in the property was helpful.
