Description
Circa 1870. Lovingly renovated to reflect the grandeur of an elegant Victorian mansion, this bed & breakfast features elaborate moldings, vintage chandeliers, antiques, Oriental carpets, rich color schemes and window treatments. Built in the 1870s, the two-acre grounds bloom with informal gardens in the heart of historic Shenandoah Valley, just two hours from Washington, DC. Romantic guest bedrooms with fireplaces are pampering retreats. Sleep in a four-poster canopy bed and soak in a clawfoot tub. Lunch is rarely needed after an incredible breakfast that may start with fresh peaches and lavender honey or warm apple tart with cheese. Blueberry pancakes, lemon waffles, herb omelettes and cheese soufflés are favorite entrees. Baked goods are hot from the oven and topped with homemade jams and syrups. Fruit sorbet tops off the meal.

Historic Interest |
The house was built by the town pharmacist in the 1870s as a white clapboard farmhouse setting at the front of his 300+ acre farm. His son-in-law, a local hero from WWI who became Appointments Secretary to Senator Harry Bryd, renovated the house in the 1930s, moving the house to facilitate the "mining" of a full basement, then moving it back to its current location and adding the brick veneer, wraparound porch, sunroom, garage and summer porch. Anita and Tom renovated the interior of the house from 1997 to 2000, adding elaborate moldings, window treatments, paint and color schemes, furnishings and decor to match what might have been seen in a fine town home of the 1890s. Historic Memberships: No Restrictions.
