Reynolda House is one of the most comfortable homes I've ever visited, and had I the money, I'd want to design a house for myself as close as possible to its aesthetic. They took great pains at Reynolda to marry the indoors to the outdoors, which was a notion very far ahead of its time back when that house was built.

Nice to see Old Salem represented, also! It bears noting that Old Salem actually has more authentic colonial buildings still standing than does Williamsburg.
