Well, I only intended to stay one night but was there almost a week because I did not want to leave and It was so inexpensive that I could afford to extend my stay. The place is so lovely and comfortable and welcoming- like outspread arms. The hosts are good-natured, kind and so generous with their time. Everything you've read or heard about 'Mountain Home' is true. Lisa and Scott are Angels and 'Mountain Home' is a little slice of Heaven.

Happy hour was fun especially if there are other guests. Sitting at their little bar or sitting on the grand front porch just chilling is great. And their breakfasts are amazing and made fresh. Each morning is something different. If you eat it all, there is no room for lunch. My wife and I travel the world, and this is one of the most charming, relaxing, and accomodating places we have stayed. Downtown Front Royal with all of its eateries is within walking distance. The view of the mountains and the Shenandoah National Park are amazing. I recommend Woodward Hosue for anyone visiting Front Royal or the Shenandoah National Park. Michael H. Richmond, VA

There were also sweets scattered through the home. If you find the bed is too high, look under the bed for a stepstool. We were given bath salts as a gift when we left.

Just moments before we were going to walk to dinner at The Inn at Little Washington, it started to pour torrentially. The owner of the Gay Street Inn offered to drive us so that we would not get soaked walking. It was such a nice thing to do, and we really appreciated the thoughtfulness. We did not opt to have breakfast here, but we thoroughly enjoyed our short visit, the comfortable bed, and and cottage-core feel.

It was very reasonably priced and it looked great in pictures. The whole area was nice and quiet but since you're further from the bigger inn it was nearly silent (especially at night). We pulled up in front and there were plenty of spots a little after check in time (3pm). We were struggling to pull up the door code at first but we were let in (I believe by Drew) and welcomed us into their B&B and our room. The room was pretty spacious for the two of us and it was beautifully decorated. It had anything we really needed for the one night. We booked the Bed & Breakfast rate which included breakfast the next morning (sadly we missed it) and two cocktails that we picked the day prior in our mini fridge. We enjoyed both of those and loved that it included mixers if we wanted. The extra drinks were much appreciated as well. The bed felt a little weird for me and got a little sore but my girlfriend seemed to like it. Check out was pretty simple. We basically just had to leave the key and walk out. Drew and Deb really made things easy for us and everything was seamless. If we ever did come back, I would love to stay again.

I held a memorial for my ex-husband, attended by our daughters, their families and close friends who were neighbors of ours for years when our kids were young.

There are also large living and dining rooms. You can walk on paths on the 175 acres and enjoy the 2 Japanese oak baths on the lower level. I couldn't have found a nicer place to share memories and spend time with those close to me and my ex. We sang, cried, enjoyed the baths and shared meals and memories.

I had no idea what to expect when I set out late on a Friday evening from Washington, DC to Luray,…read moreVA. My biggest question was where was Luray, VA. As it turned out, Luray is located in Northern Virginia, about 80 miles South of DC in a quaint little town nestled in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Arriving around 10pm, I didn't know how beautiful until the next morning when I woke up to the most awesome sunrise and gentle mountain ranges. The "Inn" is actually one of several huge homes or "villa's" on the top of a hill on 5 acres of beautifully manicured land, something else I discovered the next morning. Upon arriving, I drove up the hill to Villa #1 and was greeted warmly by the owner Darryl Haley, a 6'6, 325-pound gentle giant of a man. As it turns out Haley is a former New England Patriots Offensive Lineman, Ironman Triathlete, and Corporate Fitness Trainer, with a B.S. degree in Human Kinetics from the University of Utah, a degree in Computer Science from George Washington University, I was given a tour of the 5-bedroom villa each with its own bathroom and jacuzzi tub, and settled in a room on the corner with an Eastern view towards the mountains and we agreed that breakfast would be served the next morning at 10AM.. Fortunately for me, I was the only guest in the entire villa so I was able to wake up to a wonderful sunrise, go back to sleep, shower, watch television, roam around the spacious home at my leisure and enjoy the views all before 10AM. At around 9:30am I received a call from Darryl inviting me to come up to the main house for breakfast that included eggs, turkey bacon, orange juice, cinnamon pancakes topped with strawberries and walnuts, and a delicious spicy hashbrown invention called a "Darryl." Normally after eating that much food I'd want to go back to sleep, but I felt energized and ready to go. I spent the next hour talking to Darryl about his career as an athlete in the NFL, and how much he loves cooking, hosting guests, and how it all fits into the theme of The Darryl Haley Bed and Breakfast, "where romance, fun and fitness are the main activities." After he cleaned up the kitchen, I was given a tour of the the main house, the grounds, a cottage tucked away at the bottom of a hill, and the gazebo which overlooks a dairy farm and has mountain views in every direction. We eventually ended up in a spacious garage that had been converted into a fitness and recreation center where I was coaxed into a friendly game of ping pong which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was then given a tour of the city which has plenty of bike and jogging trails, a lake for fishing or canoeing, as well as parks, hiking trails, antique shops, restaurants and wineries. The people are warm and friendly, and the area has become a magnet for artists, writers, and others looking for a retreat from the pace of big city life. In one area of the town there is a sobering reminder of its confederate past and an acknowledge how far this city of 5,000 has come. Whether its a personal or romantic getaway, a family, women's, men's or group retreat, this is a relaxing place to come to and you'll feel at home. The accommodations include unlimited access to cozy areas for conversation, relaxing or reading and comfortable and casual lounge areas to socialize and unwind. The beautiful and manicured grounds are ideal for outdoor events or simple sanctuary. The immediate area offers vineyards tours, wine tasting, hiking, cycling, kayaking as well as many other outdoor activities and antique shopping.
