It is fun to be in such a historical property. The people working there are all so nice. Our bed was comfortable and the fireplace was fun. The property could use some renovation as well as the bathroom.

Wonderful getaway!

A lovely getaway at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Very relaxing and enjoyable - the staff was beyond accommodating and friendly as well. Dinner at the restaurant was equally as enjoyable. The hostess and Chef made it a wonderful experience and meal. A quiet getaway. We’ll go back.

I loved that we got to stay in a whole colonial, well-appointed, immaculate house by ourselves. I loved the staff, that went out of its way. The grounds are beautiful, as are the accommodations. I didn't like my breakfast, a "sandwich" made from a croissant, some flavorless cheese, a fried egg and overcooked, very salty bacon. No garnishes. Croissant was second-rate. Should have had tomato or greenery. Caused us to cancel our dinner reservation. Other than that, the staff was amazing, as were the grounds and the accommodations.
