Location Overview

Irvington

In Irvington, we are a bit different and we have many things here that other small towns can only wish for. Come here, stay with us and live the dream.

Today, we are still a small town on a sleepy Virginia creek, a place you’d think nobody ever heard of…until you glance at the guest list of those who visit our town – Tom Cruise, Mia Hamm, Bill Clinton, Beck, Stephen Spielberg, Sandra Day O’Connor, James Taylor…

Irvington has emerged as a place where “Manhattan meets Mayberry”. Our martinis are as good as our lemonade. Our seasonal first Saturday Farmers’ Markets fit well with cooking classes and wine pairings. We blend uptown with down-home, cutting edge with country…making what some say is the epitome of the American Dream.

Unlike no other small town, we can boast of a medal winning vineyard, a bistro, three destination golf courses, a full service spa, cruises on classic boats, a museum, an historic church that can match the best of America’s 18th century churches, a sailing school, kayaks and sailboat races and, of course, our nationally acclaimed little inn. There are thirteen chic and sophisticated boutiques including an incredible four trendy women’s’ shops.

Add to this a Norman Rockwell Fourth of July parade and fireworks over Carter’s Creek, Big Bands and the Air Force band, Grape Stomping contests that would even make Lucy laugh, a Turkey Trot that gets our Governor “in the running”; a Christmas boat parade considered the best in Virginia.

Totally unconscionable in a town of 673 people.

Irvington today, fun and hip – a small town that knows how to be uptown in the most delightful way. We are simply in a town that enjoys the good life and we are willing to share it with you.

"..a place where sleepy cul-de-sacs wind around quiet creeks, carvers continue to perfect the art of the decoy and tiny white clapboard Baptist and United Methodist churches line barely trafficked roads."
- New York Times
