Step into history with a stay at the Moody Kitchen, a charming 18th-century building nestled behind the historic Moody House on East Francis Street in Williamsburg, Virginia. Once owned by the blacksmith Josias Moody, this building offers a unique opportunity to experience life in colonial Williamsburg while enjoying modern comforts in a beautifully restored space.
A Connection to Williamsburg’s Past
The Moody Kitchen was originally part of the property owned by Josias Moody, a blacksmith who lived and worked in Williamsburg in the 18th century. In keeping with architectural traditions of the 1700s, kitchens were built as separate structures from the main house to reduce the risk of fire, prevent the spread of food odors, and manage excessive heat. Now fully restored, the Moody Kitchen offers a peaceful and historic retreat just steps away from the heart of Williamsburg.

The Masonic Kitchen was depicted on the 1782 "Frenchman’s Map" of Williamsburg and now stands as a testament to the city’s rich heritage, offering a rare chance to stay in a place of both historical and architectural significance.
