    My friend and I had a wonderful time this weekend…read more Alan, the owner, greeted us upon arrival. He was friendly but gave us our space too. Alan also has a bird named Sweetie. When we arrived, the sheets still needed to be changed in the room, so we sat in one of the many outdoor spaces. Outdoor furniture could use some updating. I did not like the beverages and snacks available throughout the property. The beds in the Burke Room were a little too soft. I didn't mind so much but my friend with a bad back had some trouble sleeping. I could tell pets are welcome because there was a bit of dog hair on the comforter. The sheets were clean though. The highlight of the trip is the breakfast. Alan is the host with the most! The french toast casserole, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast and jam, homemade granola, and yogurt were delicious. The best part was getting to know the other couple staying at the bed and breakfast. You will love the knick knacks throughout the property and there are games to help you relax. We were only about 30 minutes away from Charlottesville.

    What a fabulous stay at the Ebenezer House!! Alan -- the Owner and Innkeeper -- was a gracious…read morehost!! Beautiful antique decor! Centrally located 20 miles from University of Virginia (UVA) Charlottesville! The 9:00 AM breakfast -- that allowed us to sleep in -- was amazing, as you can tell from the photos: buffet style, eggs, swine, coffee, tea, juice!! The daily homemade granola was a winner (yogurt, locally produced honey)!! This is the best bed and breakfast, by far! You'll be stuffed!! Our two night stay was spectacular. We will return again and highly recommend it. As a bonus, you're greeted by Sweetie (the adorable cockatoo)!! Alan provided wonderful hospitality and conversation. The room had everything and more. Pro tip -- as we did -- visit UVA (rotunda), wineries, cider tasting (Bold Rock Nellysford), Carter Mountain Orchard (more Bold Rock, apple cider donuts, cookies, apple pie, hayride, pick your own apples, wine tasting), breweries (Devils Backbone), movies (Alamo Drafthouse), Wegmans (grocery), restaurants (Rhett's River Grill & Raw Bar, Burtons Grill, Sedona Taphouse). Spring and summer guests can lounge outside on the deck, plenty of seats. Next stay, we want to try some German fare at Bavarian Chef (closest restaurant), visit James Madison Montpelier plantation, and catch UVA hoops, football! See y'all soon Alan and Sweetie!! Again, bring your appetite!!

    Still one of the best Bed & Breakfast options in the Shenandoah Valley. Hank and Wylie are awesome…read morehosts. The rooms are always clean, cozy, and well-appointed. Hank is an EXCELLENT baker as well, so the cakes are well worth it. A great option indeed!

    ## Piney Hill Bed and Breakfast: A Perfect Shenandoah Valley Getaway (5 stars)…read more **A Dreamy Escape with Spectacular Views and Unforgettable Hospitality** My recent stay at Piney Hill Bed and Breakfast was an absolute delight. Nestled amidst rolling hills just outside of Luray, the location offered stunning panoramic views of the valley and surrounding mountains. Finding the B&B was a breeze, and upon arrival, I was immediately charmed by the property's historic character, perfectly complemented by modern amenities. **Comfort and Convenience** The room itself was a haven of comfort. The bed was incredibly inviting, and the ensuite bathroom provided everything I needed. Piney Hill truly goes the extra mile with thoughtful touches - from having spare toiletries on hand (lifesaver alert for that forgotten floss!) to individual climate control - ensuring a perfectly relaxing stay. **The Heart of Piney Hill: Hank, Wiley, and Bob** However, the heart and soul of Piney Hill lie with the wonderful innkeepers, Hank and Wiley. Their warm hospitality and engaging conversation made each breakfast a highlight. Their stories and kindness were truly heartwarming, and I found myself looking forward to these morning chats just as much as exploring the Shenandoah National Park nearby. **Breakfast Fit for Royalty** Speaking of breakfast, it was without a doubt the best food I had on my entire trip. From the melt-in-your-mouth sticky buns to the heavenly French toast and the savory sage-egg-sausage bake, each morning was a culinary delight. **A Must-Stay for Shenandoah Valley Travelers** Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a base to explore the national park, or simply a place to unwind amidst breathtaking scenery, Piney Hill Bed and Breakfast is the perfect choice. I can't recommend them enough! In fact, if you're staying nearby and can't swing a stay, I highly recommend checking out their take-out bakery. **A Fond Farewell (and a Scratch for Bob!)** Thank you, Hank and Wiley, for making my stay so special. And please give Bob the dog an extra scratch on the head for me! I can't wait to return to the Shenandoah Valley and Piney Hill in the future.

    What a super sweet, comfortable B&B nearby Shenandoah National Park. We spent the evening in…read moreSperryville after hiking Old Rag during the day, and it was absolute perfection! 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!

    My husband and I recently got married at Prospect Hill Inn. While the ceremony was beautiful and…read morethe venue has charm, the experience leading up to and during our wedding day was incredibly stressful due to poor communication, unfulfilled promises, and a total lack of professional coordination. We chose this intimate venue for a low-stress experience, but we felt like a low priority and were blamed for every issue. Before we paid our deposit, communication with T was fantastic. Afterward, replies went from taking hours to taking weeks. Though coordination was explicitly included, T failed to deliver: No Communication/Direction: T ignored late-night texts about the fire pit, leaving my husband to build it. On the wedding day, no one directed guests or vendors; I had to meet people in the parking lot. Timeline Failures: Our 5:00 PM ceremony started late because no one tracked the timeline or gathered the groom. T then rushed us through everything else to hit a strict 7:00 PM dinner, cutting into our photography. Poor Hospitality: In 90-degree heat, we had to make six trips to haul bags to our cottage with no help or golf cart offered. Later, staff refused to let guests (including older family) sit down or get a drink before we entered. During a rushed photo session, T inappropriately interrupted to complain about our guest book pens. The Flowers & Charms: Friday, I gave T a labeled bag. My mom explicitly asked her to attach 4 sentimental charms of my late grandparents to my bouquet. T agreed. By 3:50 PM Saturday, I had no flowers. T was entirely off-property, forcing my mom to hunt down the bouquet. When found, the charms were missing. T arrived late, blamed others, and told me to attach them myself while in my wedding dress. The groom's boutonnieres also arrived Friday and were brown and wilted by ceremony time. Blame & Broken Promises: The AC: When the AC broke in my parents' room, T instantly accused us: "You must have blown a fuse." Dances: T acted visibly annoyed by our first and parent dances, though they were explicitly scheduled. The Grounds: Promised winter hydrangeas and wildflower hills were actually zero bushes and pure dirt. Hidden Fees & Perks: T forgot our cake design details multiple times. Souvenir flutes contractually promised were never received. We were charged a surprise $21 fee for cottage breakfast delivery. When we asked to put our refund on a different card, they fought us before reluctantly writing a check. The Menu: Food quality didn't match prior menus. We were never shown the breakfast menu, yet T snapped at my husband for asking for ketchup and blamed us for not changing a menu we never saw. To top it off, our marriage certificate arrived with my name misspelled and the wrong date. T never offered a single compliment on the wedding day and didn't even say goodbye at checkout. Our wedding was beautiful solely because our 11 guests stepped up to run it. Future couples: what is promised in the sales pitch is not what is delivered. Get every syllable in writing.
