We are happy to have members of the wedding party and guests and relatives stay at our vacation homes. However, functions are not allowed to be held at any of our properties - including weddings or receptions. There are plenty of vendors who would love to help make your wedding a day to remember. A simple internet search for "Virginia Weddings Venues" will provide you with some helpful information. BnBonVoyage does provide certain properties that can be made available for Weddings or Receptions. Please call our office to learn more.
USPS will not deliver to your vacation home. If you are planning on a delivery arriving during your stay you will need to select Fed-Ex or UPS and/or pay for upgraded shipping (to prevent final delivery hand-off to USPS). This is especially important for Amazon Prime orders, where they will default to USPS as the final deliverer. Just because Amazon recognizes an address as valid doesn’t mean that USPS will deliver there, or that a package will be retrievable. We are not able to
facilitate mail recovery for packages that don't follow the mailing guidelines on our Rental Policies page.
Every space is professionally cleaned & disinfected after each guest. We follow strict VRMA & VRHP guidelines. For more information on vacation rental cleaning standards, visit VRMA/VRHP’s website here. Additionally, we regularly inspect properties and maintain rigorous standards in upkeep & maintenance.

BnBonVoyage cannot be responsible for items left behind in properties. Check your property carefully before leaving.
