    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.

We rode horses on the ranch, Francisca was the sweetest guide & really made the experience. Our dogs loved walking along the property watching the long horns, cows, & sheep. The sunrise was absolutely stunning from the rocking chairs on the porch. Cute cowboy aesthetic! Everything was clean & tidy. The extra paper towels, soaps, and trash bags came in handy. Such a sweet extra amenity. Celena & Susan were so kind and responsive. We met afew of the other staff along the property and they were all so sweet and courteous as well. The wedding venue looks amazing!! Can't wait to come back!! Thank you so much for having us!!

They were so accommodating to book a same day appointment for me and my date. We arrived like 30 minutes early so we got to sign the forms and walk around the ranch. The property is beautiful I wish we could have stayed in one of the cabins. My horse outlaw was the sweetest. This wasn't my first time riding but even if it was anyone could ride him. I enjoyed the trail ride throughly I wanted it to last another hour it was so peaceful! Between the instructor & my man we got great pictures and an unforgettable experience.

    White Fence Bed & Breakfast - They let us use the fire pit at night and we sat outside and played some games we had brought and had some wine! So relaxing!

    My fiance & I were lucky enough to stay at at White Fence B&B this past weekend. Mary responded…read morevery quickly to my inquiry about availability (Friday night 9pm inquiry for Saturday stay) and we booked the Blue Ridge Carriage House. It was wonderful to have a flexible and late check-in time as we hiked all day in Shenandoah Park. The cottage itself is PERFECT: very spacious and clean with everything you could need for several days. Mary & Dan have thought of & provided everything to make you feel at home and comfortable, i.e. wine opener and cutting board. It was nice to maintain your privacy because you had everything you needed inside your own cottage! Inside the mini fridge you will find waters, mini orange juices, little bags of trail mix, cheeses, and even mini bottles of white & red wine and more!!! I have stayed at many B&Bs and never experienced this level of included goodies- it was such a wonderful surprise! The location of the B&B is beautiful as well. Very convenient to Luray and the park. You can enjoy the lovely backyard on your private adirondack chairs or on the patio which has several rocking chairs and a fire pit. At 9:00am Mary & Dan knocked on our cottage door with breakfast and we were 'Wow'-ed again! The smoothies made with fresh-picked Sperryville, VA blueberries were my favorite. They accommodated my vegetarian needs perfectly. My fiance and I agreed that the breakfast was one of the best, if not THE best, we've had at a B&B, and we have stayed at some very expensive B&Bs. You get way more than your money's worth here! I highly recommend for a romantic, private weekend getaway. I couldn't have been happier with our stay at White Fence. We will be back.

I emailed her quite a few times before booking- she answered all of my questions and even gave me extra info based upon what I had asked. I told her the reason why we were coming and if I could do the wine basket add-on as a nice touch for when we arrived. Also to note, I had never been to this area before or rented a cottage like this, so I had no idea what to expect! When we arrived, the cottage was even better than the pictures (if that's possible). The cottage is quite large and definitely beats staying in a small, one room bed and breakfast or hotel. The cottage was beautifully decorated and VERY clean. So cozy with the fireplace, bed was extra comfy, everything really was just perfect! Knowing it was my boyfriend's birthday, Mary made a mini cheesecake and left it in the room for us! How thoughtful! Even left a nice birthday card and a couple extra muffins. FYI: her baking skills are top notch! Our continental breakfast consisted of toast, English muffins, fruit, baked goods, juice, plenty of coffee/tea/hot chocolate which is all in the room upon arrival. I can't say enough positive things about this cottage. Mary and her husband also own the local pub, Dubliners, and we ate there the first night. Food (and wine) was great! Overall a perfect birthday escape. Could not have asked for anything more! Many, many thanks to Mary and her husband. We will definitely be returning!

    We came to Shenandoah Valley for a winter experience and took advantage of some of the great winter…read moredeals (all rate 25% off plus third night was 40% because we booked before Thanksgiving) offered by Brookside. Unfortunately, because of our choice of year, we ran into a few problems, all of which were addressed promptly and satisfactorily by the owners of Brookside. And, because of that, we are in position to review several of the cabins! We booked Cabin 9 and battled through crazy DC drivers who freak out over a literal two inches of snow (aside: seriously DC-area, get it together!) Diane in the gift stop called us that morning to warn us of the impending snow and to let us know that if we ended up arriving late, they would leave the key for us under the doormat. Amazing foresight and we really appreciated her call. When we walked into our cabin, the bathroom sink was overflowing and not draining. Turns out the cold winds had frozen the drainage pipes and Cabin 9, being at the end, got the brunt of it. Cece and Bob, the owners, came down immediately and gave us our choice of cabins. We chose number 2, which is a cozy space with a hot tub, angled bed and intimate fireplace area. The second morning, when we were moved back into 9, the water went out over the entire resort just after our morning shower, but by the time we returned to the cabin in the evening, it was fixed. Overall, I liked Cabin 9 best, with its open layout, its great view from the Jacuzzi tub and its numerous skylights. Cabin 2 was cozy and romantic and I liked the layout of the sofa area around the fireplace and the hot tub was pleasant. Both are ideal for a couple, though Cabin 9 has a pull-out sofa and is large enough to not feel too crowded with kids. We also had a peek into Cabins 7 & 8. Number 8 has a full kitchen and two bedrooms and would be great for a family or even the main house for a family reunion. Cece said it is popular for Thanksgiving gatherings. Cabin 7 is a jacuzzi cabin that was intended to be a two-bedroom but instead has a "tub room." If you like privacy for your Jacuzzi it makes sense, however we did not like that each room was separate. The greatest part about the winter? Beautiful snow-covered trees and a partially frozen brook that still babbles underneath it AND the amazing Christmas decorations in each cabin. The usual decor is a bit old-fashioned and flowery, but the Christmas decorations are really fabulous and fun. The restaurant was closed from Thanksgiving until the second week of January. Also, the cabins are really close to 211, which could get noisy in the summer, maybe? But we did not hear much traffic from our cabin, which was next to the roadway. Plus, you can't get any closer to the Thornton Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park. We hope to return this spring!

    We usually do extravagant things for our anniversary. Last year, we found ourselves with not enough…read moretime and not enough money to do our usual. Instead, we decided to get away for a long weekend in the mountains of western VA. I can't speak for the main house, but the Wooodland Cabin was a nice way to get away from everyone and spend time with your honey. The furnishings were woodsy, without being hokey, and with both a couch and dining room table you could easily hole up for a few days. Breakfast was delivered to our room, the outdoor hot tub was private and the owner was nice enough to help me set up a surprise vowel renewal (including a new ring). If I had a complaint, I'd say it's that the sign out front is not well lit and we drove right by the place twice. The owner also seemed a little overworked, but as her husband was serving in Iraq at the time we were there, it was certainly understandable. In the end, it's a great way to escape the DC metro scene without airport security or spending a ton of cash.

    We really enjoyed our quiet getaway at the Milton House. We stayed in the Woodland Cabin which was…read morevery nice. The owner truly cares about your stay and really pays attention to the little details. You are within a short drive of the Luray Caverns, skyline drive and the Shenandoah River. I highly recommend staying here as opposed to a local hotel in the area. Great service, great amenities and quiet.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We had a wonderful experience here for our anniversary…read more First, the house itself is incredibly beautiful and clearly well taken care of. 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
