Whether you enjoy all of these fun things to do in Staunton or choose just one or two, we know you’ll have a great time – and we think you’ll probably be inspired to visit during a slightly warmer time of year, too. Regardless of when you visit or how long you stay, treat yourself to something special and stay at our top-rated Bed and Breakfast in Virginia or one of our equally impressive Shenandoah Valley cabins.
Our historic Virginia Bed and Breakfast was built in 1916 and sits on 50 stunning acres in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. Inside the Manor, you’ll find five luxuriously appointed guest rooms, each outfitted with plenty of modern amenities. Alternatively, you can stay in one of our five secluded and upscale cabins, each overlooking a different but beautiful part of our property and the Shenandoah Valley.
Breakfast is always included with stays in the Manor (not the cabins), offering our guests the perfect start to the day. Cabin guests, however, can purchase a breakfast basket package, which treats you to plenty of delicious and local ingredients, enough to make two separate breakfasts for two people. Cabin guests can also order a “Grill Your Own Steak” package for a unique, intimate dinner for two.
