Susan and Mike took care to make sure we had an excellent stay: Susan helped us make dinner reservations at Thornton Grille that were otherwise unavailable on Open Table, and then after we got home from dinner, Mike helped light our wood fired heater. The building is well maintained and very comfortable. Best of all, the breakfast was soo delicious! I hope I'll be able to visit again.

We just returned from 3 nights at Belle Meade B and B and can't say enough about how wonderful…read moreour stay was. We stayed in the cottage, which is a bedroom and bath with a porch on both sides and wonderful mountain and farm views. We had a good time watching the turkeys running in the field. And a hot tub and large pool out the back (though the pool was too cold for me in late October, of course). The bed was comfortable and amenities were high quality (thick robes, Dr. Bronner's soap, etc). I slept wonderfully well in the quiet. This is also the only B&B I've ever stayed at where the hosts came and tidied the room every day. The only other advantage/drawback (depending on your outlook) is the lack of cell coverage and the weak wifi signal. We had no problem with that, especially because you can always go into the main house and get a strong wifi signal. We did that for a "couldn't miss" meeting one evening and enjoyed sitting in the parlor and checking out the books and rocking chairs. Breakfast was stellar, all 3 mornings. One morning, the hosts (Susan and Mike) made whole-grain waffles using flour Susan had just milled from grain. With local apples baked for the top, a plate of fresh fruit (some from their garden), and a side of bacon. Another morning, breakfast came accompanied by still-warm bran/ginger/whole-grain muffins. And a bowl of local apples was always out. Which brings me to the best part of Belle Meade: Susan and Mike. They are wonderful people with a ton of accumulated knowledge about a wide variety of topics. They were great at pointing us to hikes and bike rides that were beautiful but also within our capacity (we're 67 and 76) and also recommending places to eat and visit. We went to "Flavor on Main" in Culpeper, which was great and "Blue Door Kitchen and Inn" in Flint Hill, which was really special. Staying at a B&B can sometimes feel awkward, since you're in someone else's home. But Susan and Mike made us feel right at home. We'll be back!

However, if I could have a choice, I might've just rolled on by.... First of all, it's a motel, so I'm going to try to be fair here. I just am disappointed with the cleanliness of the hotel. We checked in and there were food crumbs scattered across the floor--- one of the crumbs even resembling a roach but I was too afraid to pick it up. The desk chair and desk were really sticky. The room itself, though listed as non-smoking, clearly had a smoker inside it before us... we had to keep the windows open at first! I gave an extra star because the internet was surprisingly more stable here than other hotels and also the shower head water pressure is pretty strong--- soo at least you'll feel clean/better about your stay? Idk.

My family and I stayed in Sun Dancer Lodge for a week this summer in Etlan, VA, which is in the…read moreheart of the Shenandoah Mountains. First, the positives: the location was beautiful and very accessible to hiking, wine tasting and several other great summer outdoor activities. The actual house is nice and very spacious. The negatives: the place was FILTHY. As a family, we decided to tolerate the filth so we wouldn't ruin our family vacation, but as the week went on, it became more and more annoying to accept how dirty it was. After our week-long stay, I contacted the owners and forwarded them a list of issues we found as well as photographs to document the condition of the house. We made it clear that we were not asking for any money back (although if we pushed the issue, I certainly think we would have been entitled to it). I also raised an issue with their ridiculous policy for the OCCUPANTS to wash and fold all of the linens before a noon departure on Sunday, which is totally unrealistic. This policy forces occupants to get up extra early on their last day of vacation to do something a paid employee should be doing. After the second attempt to contact the owner, the response she provided was that she forwarded my email to the cleaning lady. No apology. And No indication that she really plans to address it in the future. For this reason, I am giving it a one star rating. If she had sent back a different response, I would probably be giving it at least a two star rating. If cleanliness of the property is important to you, this place will not be satisfactory. List of issues: - Beds were unmade and the sheets were from the previous occupants (ewww) - I swept a large pile of dirt in one of the back bedrooms my grandmother was staying in - Mouse dropping in the back bedroom - Spider webs in closet - Overgrown lawn - Dirty stove, oven, toaster and refrigerator - Dirt, chips and crumbs in the couches - Hot tub smelled like urine and several jets were broken - Ashes in the fireplace - Mildewed towels in the linen closet (my Mom took all of the linens, washed, folded and put them away because previous renters put away wet towels, due to the ludicrous cleaning policy -- but made the entire closet really stink) - Dog hair on the linens and couches, even though the owner claimed her grandchildren are deathly allergic to pet hair - Remote controls did not operate - Playhouse (pictures on the website) was a mess and had a lot of dead bugs and spiderwebs - There was uneaten popcorn in the popcorn maker. My Dad spent at least 30 mins scrubbing it out before we could use it

Great experience…read more This was a history rich B&B making for a wonderful experience. Our only regret was our own schedule changed making for little time on the property to relax. The owner/manager was very accommodating when our shift resulted in very late returns in the evening. The final morning we did get a chance to enjoy a leisurely breakfast; tasty home cooking and great conversation with a very interesting owner and another guest. Scenic vista across the farm and foothills of the Endless Caverns, minutes from the historic New Market battlefield, and ample wildlife to spot while taking that early morning walk. Beds were very comfortable, internet for those that can't drop the devices for a weekend, and an all around great experience. Definitely on our list for a repeat weekend get away.

We'd lived in DC for a while, but we had yet to to venture further into Virginia, especially during…read morethe fall months, when the leaves are colorful. We searched the web for BnBs in the Shenandoah Valley, and came upon the Rosendale Inn. Seemed like a chill place, and we called and booked the space with a credit card number, but we were told we'd need to pay by check. It seemed a little fishy, and I was prepared for good or bad. We arrived on a dark fall evening, and Paul, the inn owner, met us downstairs and showed us to our rooms. The rooms are named after Virginian Presidents, my wife and I were in the Woodrow Wilson suite, and my parents had the Andrew Jackson suite. We settled into our rooms and then drank wine and played board games in the library, and slept very comfortably while the wind made the house creak a little. The inn is PACKED with history. It was owned by relatives of President Wilson, and a few presidents stayed there as well. Paul told us the whole history in the museum, and all the stages the building went through in its ongoing restoration. He is full of stories, from his own life on 3 continents and all the books he's written. In the morning, we had coffee around the table, and then Paul and his mom made us a nice breakfast, starting with fruit, and then an egg casserole and sausage one day, and french toast the next day. He made hot water for my parents (not coffee drinkers), and he gave us tips for what to do in the valley. Solid BnB, great for relaxing, and killer views of the valley. We hope to be back in a few summers!

I came from the Washington-DC area, and it was quite easy to get to the B&B (using GPS, of course!) Hugh, the innkeeper, was there to receive me with a complete tour of the place, which was beautiful, comfortable and spotless! The gardens and outdoor areas were just as delightful. My room, Hawksbill, was a corner unit with windows on two sides, painted in a soothing light blue and a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The room was comfortable, clean with a bed that knocked me unconscious until the next morning. I was also able to meet the owners of the Mayneview B&B, Bryce and Greg, who were very welcoming and kind. Hugh also made sure that I had everything I needed, and made himself available in case I had questions. In the evening, and after dinner in town, I even met some of the other guests at the Mayneview B&B, who coincidentally all came from the New York area. We all sat by the crackling fire pit and got to share our stories. In the morning, I was served a delicious breakfast of asparagus soufflé, with a side of sausage and a watermelon salad. The coffee was fresh, black and strong, just like I like it!

They had a common living room for the guests to relax in which had books and board games. There was also an area for 24/7 water, coffee, and tea, and in the afternoon, a baked treat was available. We saw chocolate chip cookies and apple cider donuts. Bonus: There was a mini fridge with seltzer water. Second, we booked the Naturalist for the weekend and it was a wonderful room. The sheets were so soft and comforting. The bathroom was a bit small but had modern fixtures. I don't know what the shower head was, but it was super nice LOL. I could've stood in there forever. Their shampoo, conditioner, and body wash smelled lovely as well. They provide a little lotion tube. So, I'd recommend bringing your own. Third, the breakfast was amazing. Shannon and Joe did a wonderful job making the dining experience wonderful. I really loved Shannon's french toast. Joe was also very attentive to the guests. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience. I would love to visit again someday. The location is also quite convenient. You are walking distance away from many cafes, stores, and restaurants. It was definitely a wonderful weekend to recharge. Highly recommend and grateful that we could spend our anniversary here
