The Best Couple’s Retreat in Virginia
A lot goes into curating the best couple’s retreat in Virginia, but it starts with a dedication to service and exquisite attention to detail. You’ll find both at our Shenandoah Valley Bed and Breakfast and cabins in Virginia. Add to that plenty of luxurious and thoughtful touches throughout your stay and warm, welcoming hospitality, and you have the foundation for a truly incredible getaway.
Fall is always a busy time of year here in the Shenandoah Valley, with crowds of people descending upon Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway to take in the marvelous display of fall colors. As the season begins to fade, we’ll start to feel a tangible shift in pace. As the world outside begins to slow down, we, too, slow down. It’s the perfect season to reconnect.
From the moment you first arrive at our Shenandoah Valley Bed and Breakfast, we think you’ll instantly begin to see why we’re considered the best couple’s retreat in Virginia. From our stately manor to our charming cabins and the beautiful natural surroundings that envelop us, there’s something special about it here.
We offer five spacious guest rooms in the manor, each with a delightful range of amenities, including gas or electric fireplaces and private en-suite baths with double Jacuzzi tubs or large walk-in showers. We also offer five intimate and romantic cabins if that’s more what you had in mind for your couple’s retreat in Virginia.
Guests staying with us in the Manor House will wake up to a delicious breakfast prepared fresh right here in our kitchen. These breakfasts are proudly prepared using as many local ingredients as possible, helping to support the rich agricultural landscape surrounding us in the Shenandoah Valley. We are happy to accommodate vegan, vegetarian, lactose intolerant, and other dietary restrictions to the best of our ability and with at least 24 hours of advance notice.
Breakfast isn’t included for guests in our cabins, but each cabin is equipped with full kitchens to use throughout your stay. We also offer a delicious continental breakfast basket that can be delivered to your doorstep, or we’ll help you enjoy breakfast like a local by providing a variety of local breakfast foods for you to prepare in your kitchen. You can review and book both options here. Cabin guests can also arrange for our Grill Your Own Steak Dinner Package, which can be enjoyed at your leisure.
