We've been to Old Town Alexandria many times, but this was our first time at Peake Fairfax House and was our best experience. We love the historic nature of Old Town and felt that our stay in this historic home could not have been better. Our hosts, Dorothy and Chet, were welcoming and helpful in making our stay comfortable. We... More

After my husband's second deployment to Afghanistan in 2 years, we decided it was time to have the honeymoon we never had. After a lot of searching, we decided that the Peake Fairfax was just the place we were looking for. When we got there we were greeted at the door and made to feel welcome from the first hello....

Beautifully restored early 19th century house with period furnishings. We were welcomed to use the library and enjoyed a 5PM glass of wine with Christian, an enthusiastic and welcoming host. Artwork is everywhere. One block from King Street which has a free trolley. Only one hotel has a better location, and it won't be one of the most memorable parts... More

Our stay at this lovely, historic townhouse was the final stop on an historic tour of Virginia that my husband and I made with our close friends in mid-October.

We loved Chet,Dot, and Christian. They definitely have the gift of hospitality.Having a glass of wine with them at 5pm in the parlor was my favorite part of my stay. I would definitely stay there again. The bed was really comfortable and the room was a nice size. We walked to our restaurants both nights.

My husband and I had the extreme pleasure of a weekend at the Peake-Fairfax over the Columbus Holiday weekend. The only downside was when we had to leave. From the first moment to the last Dot and Chet made us feel like family. We were also lucky enough to meet two of their children who were equally gracious. The spacious... More

Our stay at the Peake Fairfax House was an enjoyable experience. The House was beautiful and very clean. The owners, Dorothy and Chet, were wonderful and were always willing to accomodate any of our needs. We stayed in the Palladian Suite which was very roomy, quiet, and has its own bathroom. Breakfast was set out in the dining room every... More

Beautiful, perfectly restored house. Excellent location for exploring alexandria and DC. Very hospitable hosts, definitely recommend having a glass of wine with them in the parlor, the most fascinating part of the stay. We plan to return.
