Dennison Street Inn

This is hands down the best place to stay in Colonial Beach. The property is beautiful, comfortable and super clean. The host/owners Jodie and John were very personable, extremely accommodating and attentive. All the food and drinks were delicious. We had fun using the golf cart and bikes to explore the area. We enjoyed our stay very much. We plan to go back soon.

Jodie is honestly the best host and treated us like Queens. It was my mother’s birthday and Jodie made cupcakes and gave my mothers a beautiful birthday gift. Her bed and breakfast is stunning and our beds were so comfy and peaceful. We will be back, we loved our stay! So Amazing!!!! We hit the jackpot with this place!!

Dennison Street Inn is the best Bed and Breakfast I've ever stayed. Jodie and John make you feel welcome and comfortable. They are very accommodating and attentive to whatever you may need or want. The location is great, just a few steps from the water or any place you'd want to walk to. The rooms are comfortable and relaxing. The house is comfortable and well decorated. Jodie prepares the breakfast and it is delicious. It's a wonderful house, wonderful hosts and a wonderful place to stay. If your looking for an excellent place to stay look no further than Dennison Street Inn. It will satisfy your needs.

What a glorious stay I had recently at Dennison Street Inn, located in one of my favorite small towns, Colonial Beach, Virginia. Innkeepers Jodie and John have left nothing to chance and in her own words, Jodie says that she learns something new with each new visitor, striving to accommodate every want and need. For example, when a guest complained of not having a specific blend of tea, Jodie made sure from that point on to have a wider selection. This attention to detail is evident from the moment you walk through the doors of the stately Victorian, originally built for the first mayor of Colonial Beach. The owners wanted furnishings to match the time period of the majestic home, but didn't want an overly feminine look as is common with Victorian decor. They found a perfect balance. Plush furniture in the living room (it's like sitting on a throne!) in muted colors with antiques and historic paintings on the walls. I imagine the owners going through each room, as if they were guests themselves, anticipating every possible need a visitor might want. There is a shoe rack at the door, earplugs next to your bed, and every type of sweetener (sugar, raw sugar, sugar substitute), coffee and tea you could desire. There was even a special dark colored, plush towel for removing makeup so I wouldn't feel bad mucking up the white ones. Speaking of towels...they are just one more attention to luxury detail. Super fluffy and absorbent. Bathroom rugs are like walking on a cloud. My room even had a whirlpool tub! The bed is so soft and has so many pillows, you could spend your whole weekend right there. Freshly baked homemade cookies greet you upon arrival. Breakfast (prepared to your liking) is served in your room. (My room had two separate seating areas, in addition to the bedroom. Queen for a day!) Jodie and John were so kind, warm, accommodating and helpful. I can't wait to go back!

I travel extensively for work and was lucky enough to come across the Dennison Street Inn in a recent search of where to stay in Colonial Beach, VA. This was hands down the right choice. Not only was the interior of the Inn impeccable, from its cleanliness to it's time set furniture and ambience but also, my room, the King Charles Suite, was huge and provided every comfort of home. In addition to every necessary amenity, I was also able to be super efficient at work as the internet was very fast and reliable. Jody was the absolute best host anyone could ask for. She was friendly and knew what I needed before I even asked for it. She was an amazing cook also, preparing the best cedar plank salmon I have ever had! All her meals were freshly made and delicious, accompanied by fresh herbs and veggies from her garden. I have definitely found my go-to place to stay when traveling to Colonial Beach!

Jodie was the most fantastic hostess I've ever. Her place is immaculate and she pays attention to every single detail. She makes the most delicious breakfast and dines you on the patio. She also provides appetizers and beverages in the early evening. Their are cushy robes in the rooms, lots of chocolates, coffee machines, blow dryers, everything you could want. The beds were so comfortable too. We are staying for my sister's birthday and Jodie made it very special. She homemade a cheesecake just for the birthday and served it with champagne. Walking distance to the beach and some amazing restaurants. Golf cart available for use to tour the island. Jodie truly made it an unforgettable and magical birthday weekend. 10/10 would recommend to stay here for anyone wanting a magical beach getaway in Colonial Beach!

There is unfortunate fact that we cannot give more then 5 stars for somebody who provides exemplary service. Dennison Street Inn is run by the retired military officers who "get it done" every single time. They aim for the perfection and you benefit from it. The inn is at great location, beautifully restored, and furnished, and has state of the art A/C. Their mattresses are so good that you may feel bad going back home, as if you went from riding a horse o riding a mule. That was a risk I was willing to take. After kayaking 24 miles on the Potomac river, the owner drove the group back 15 miles to Colonial Beach (from Caledon State Park). By the time we all took showers and changed, his spouse has served oversized and delicious home made hors d'oeuvres at 9:30PM!!! She offered and took care of all the dirty clothes and did the wash so we can have fresh clothes for the next leg. In the morning she served us great breakfast and sent us out with the sandwiches, waters, fruits for the next leg of kayaking. There were so many wonderful gestures, favors, (more delicious food next day) and we even saw them taking breakfast (with mimosas) to a room to some love birds. The owners will do anything to make sure that you have restful and pleasant time and they succeeded with our group. This inn is a great base if somebody from DMV region wants to spend a weekend away and visit a local winery (Ingleside for example), farm (Westmorland Berry Farm for example) or museum (Stratford Hall for example). No hotel could provide such a personal attention even if a butler is hired. Dennison Street Inn is a perfection.

I don't think I could ever say enough about how wonderful our stay was here! The home is beautiful... immaculately clean and thoughtfully decorated. You truly feel surrounded by luxury. The breakfast and snacks were delicious! Very high quality food. It is evident that the owners truly care about this property and ensuring that your stay is perfect. No detail is overlooked! I definitely recommend staying here! Be warned, once you do, you'll never want to stay anywhere else! :)

My husband I returned a year later and found Jody and her husband John continuing to provide incredibly, personable service without being stuffy. Peaceful and quiet visit with an awesome homemade breakfast and treats. I highly recommend for a quick weekend "beach" getaway without the crowded beach scene and traffic. Perfect for boaters, like us, who were just passing by. Jody picked us up at our boat and dropped us off again in the morning.

The old saying goes, "It's not bragging if it's true," completely applies to the Dennison Street Inn. Every luxurious detail is prepared and maintained to perfection! The Inn is beautifully decorated and impeccably clean. The beds and linens are fabulously comfortable. The wonderfully tasty breakfasts are well thought out and made with great care to meet specific dietary needs/preferences. Happy hour appetizers are superb and professionally presented. The personal touches provided by the innkeeper are everywhere! There were cookies in my room upon my arrival. I was presented with flowers, a balloon, and gift for my birthday. The innkeeper went so far as to save my parking space for me when I ran a quick errand with my car! The location is within walking distance of the local beach/boardwalk and several restaurants for evening dining. My stay was very enjoyable and relaxing! My every need was attentively met. I highly recommend the Dennison Street Inn!
