Ding Ding Ding! Time to Eat!
One of the many perks that comes with staying in one of our houses is that you have full access to a top of the line kitchen that is stocked with almost everything you could possibly need! We also feature massive dining tables so that everyone can sit down and enjoy a meal together while you’re staying here. Our family is iconic for hosting weekend get togethers which feature over the top homemade meals or takeout from one of the restaurants in town. Cooking can become one of the main events of your vacation and might just involve part of the group, have some fun with it!
For inspiration, here are some recipes that might be fun to make for the group!

Exhausted from the day of vacationing? Maybe takeout is the right option for you! Thankfully Alexandria has several restaurants which feature incredible options for you to bring to your home away from home.
Looking to take out? Here are some good options for you:
Casa Jalisco – Mexican Food

We love getting takeout from here and have had it at events anywhere from celebrating my graduation to feeding everyone during Labor Day!
Their tacos are to die for!
The Great Hunan – Chinese Food
There’s nothing better than getting Chinese food takeout during the chillier months! (I recommend the Kung Pao Chicken!!)
Great Hunan offers incredible take out!
It’s popular so make sure to order ahead of time!
La Ferme
Not only is the food incredible, but the ingredients are local! We love getting their sandwich specials for lunch.
La Ferme’s sandwich lunch specials are absolutely iconic.
