Planning a visit to Williamsburg and want to stay with the best Airbnb Williamsburg VA has to offer? I’ve put together a comprehensive list of the best Airbnbs in town, including apartments, homes, and pet-friendly accommodation options.
Virginia is located in the South Eastern portion of the United States. Williamsburg is known as Virginia’s colonial capital. The country’s first recorded English settlement, ‘Jamestown’ is situated along the James River and is within the city.
Step back in time, traveling by horse and cart, when visiting the colonial Williamsburg. This living history museum portrays life as it was in the 18th century in Virginia. I recommend that you try the colonial favorite foods such as crayfish and shrimp stew, and apple brined chicken for an authentic Williamsburg experience.
Traveling with young children? They will be happy to know Williamsburg has an adventure park, thrilling roller coaster, and water park. It’s the perfect location for a weekend getaway!
