Lodging and Dining - Allure Art Center

Lodging options

There are a variety of options for lodging and dining in the Middle Peninsula, Middlesex County, and the Northern Neck depending on personal preference and budgets.

Traditional hotels are very few in the region, but we have Inns, Airbnb properties, RV resorts and marinas if you have a boat. Most of the RV resorts offer cabin rentals. There are many Airbnb options in the area that you could check into on their site.

Look for the towns of Deltaville, Hartfield, Topping, Urbanna, and Saluda which are the closet to the exhibit region. Other search options are Mathews, Irvington, Gloucester, and Kilmarnock that are approx. 25 – 35 mins away. The town of Gloucester is about 30 mins away and has several traditional hotels. It also has fast food and shopping complexes.
