Hi Oz - We stayed at a fabulous B & B in Stafford, VA called Courthouse Road. They have a website. It's in the rolling countryside and the local area around the property is steeped in Civil War history. The acreage right around this place was occupied by thousands of soldiers prior to the nearby Battle of Fredericksburg. The town of Fredericksburg is fascinating and very well preserved. Several battlefields are nearby. It would make a great day trip from the D. C. area. You would have to leave sufficient time to get to IAD, but this area is definitely worth your while.
