the pettus house

Resort regulars are probably very familiar with Kingsmill's formidable redbrick estate
known as The Pettus House. You may have even heard of some of its previous guests—
Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush, just to name a few.
But not everything improves with age (buildings being one of those that don't),
so The Pettus House is currently undergoing a renovation and we wanted to give
our Kingsmill Current readers a sneak preview before it reopens this summer.

Worthy of a photographic feature in Architectural Digest, The Pettus House will be
adorned with rich finishes, fixtures and furnishings in a warmly inviting palette that
gives a gracious nod to the estate's past, but looks and feels completely of-the-moment.
If you're looking for a blowout vacation home rental, The Pettus House will be it.
Where guests can live like kings (or presidents!), relaxing in the luxe living room or
cozy lounge and throwing all-out dinner parties in the formal dining room that
accommodates ten. Even a bowl of cereal is elevated to gourmet status when you
eat it at The Pettus House's massive kitchen island (which also seats ten).
Every night, you'll slip into the most luxurious sleep of your life in one of four sumptuous
master bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. And every morning you can watch
the sunrise dapple the James with a golden glow as a river breeze caresses your skin
from the wall of windows or expansive deck spanning the entire back wall of the estate.
This is your opportunity to beat every former POTUS to the punch. Be one of the first
to stay in The Pettus House for the ultimate vacation this summer (and the jaw-dropping
Instagram posts and bragging rights that come with that!). Check our website in the
coming months for updates on progress and availability.

House hunter heads-up

When your Kingsmill vacation is almost over, do you always think, "I wish this would
never end"? It doesn't have to.

A new neighborhood nestled between the 2nd and 9th holes of the storied River Course
(see the Kingsmill Championship story on page 4) is currently in the planning stages.
Watch our website and upcoming issues of the Kingsmill Current for more details.
