I recently painted a wedding at the Irvine Estate and wow what a gorgeous venue with a top notch staff!! The panoramic blue ridge Mountain View's can't be beat and are the perfect backdrop for a beautiful ceremony. Communication before the wedding day was stellar. Would love to paint here again! -Abby Stachnik Abbystachnikart.com read more

We had a nice dinner with a beautiful view. The server was very sweet. I must say, though, a white tablecloth would have elevated the experience because the table was sticky. read more

We recently hosted my daughter and son in law's wedding at the Irvine Estate at HMI. We could not have been more pleased by the outcome. Jamie was incredibly helpful and facilitated the most beautiful weekend we could have wanted. The wine and cheese for the wedding party, rehearsal dinner and welcome party on Friday night were perfect. The food was spectacular and we held the dinner (for 40) in the pavillon and the party (for 130) on the terrace. Saturday was just idyllic from breakfast for the wedding party, getting ready in the house, photos in the scenic spaces and a blow out wedding for 210 guests. Jamie and her staff accommodated and supported us the entire way. Every guest was gushing about the venue. We could not have asked for a better spot for our event. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Attended a wedding there this weekend and it was lovely- the staff were friendly and the place is so picturesque. This is a great venue for a wedding or special celebration. read more

I got married here in September 2016. From the minute my wife and I saw the inn, we knew this was the venue for us. Jamie & the rest of the staff are amazing, and got every detail right with our ceremony, guests and catering. The wedding day itself was perfect, and our families and friends loved it. We've come back since, and plan to keep coming back, because the Inn is a slice of heaven. Even if you're just traveling through the Shenandoah valley, stay a night here, read a book by the roaring fireplace before bed, and take 15 minutes to watch the sun hit the mountains while sitting in a rocking char on the porch. Your soul will benefit. read more

House Mountain Inn - our wedding, 2016. - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Lexington, Virginia

The views were incredible and the food was terrific. Service and staff were fabulous. The place is beautiful, quiet, incredibly comfortable and welcoming. We didn't even know our room had a hot tub on the balcony - it was so exciting! The small interior pub is adorable and the wine selection is fabulous. There were a few little niggles but nothing that the staff didn't handle beautifully. I would absolutely recommend this place for a country getaway. read more

My nephew wedding was held there Feb 8 2020. The staff was amazing and made you feel at home. The food was delicious.

I took my girlfriend here for our anniversary just the other night March 5, 2016). We stayed in the Green Hill room for 1 night which included dinner and breakfast. We paid $311 total, after gratuity and taxes. PROS: -Beautiful view -Surf and turf was delicious (but small portions) -Relaxing atmosphere -Mostly friendly staff -Jacuzzi was nice -WiFi worked pretty well -Bed was comfy (soft) -Bathroom and bedroom were very spacious and clean -We were showed how everything works when we checked in. -Complementary snacks (Oreos, cheese crackers, granola bars, fruit), soda, coffee and tea 24/7 -Fireplace was nice. -They had robes and bath towels just for the hot tub. -4 to 5 pm free cheese and wine. CONS: -Lots of stink bugs kept getting in, with the door closed. -Menu was not the same as it was online for dinner. -They add 20% gratuity to your meal (not included) automatically. -No front check-in/out desk. Had to find the office or track down Jamie. -Cell phone service is not good. -Large steep hill to get to the location. Not recommended during snowy conditions (though there was no snow when we went). -Not really anything else around for shopping or excitement. For the faults listed, we had a great time. I just want others to be aware of a few things that may turn some people off, even though we didn't mind so much. Also keep in mind if you plan to visit downtown Lexington, Sunday many places are closed or have limited hours. read more

Just attended a wedding at the House Mountain Inn for a close friend of mine this weekend. Arrived on Friday for the rehearsal dinner, went for a hike Saturday morning on their 1000 acre property, and then continued to enjoy the amazing facility for the outdoor wedding and reception. The food was excellent and accommodations were amazing. read more

My brother just had his wedding here and I have to say it was an amazing experience. HMI did *everything* possible to make the weekend exceptional. The wedding coordinator was knowledgeable and friendly and on top of everything. And the food was just divine! The venue is so beautiful and the views amazing. The only downside is that there is ZERO cell reception. There was wifi, but it didn't work very well and the signal strength was pretty weak. But, with so much beauty around you (not to mention the activities of the wedding), you won't be spending much time on your phone anyway. The decor is rustic but elegant, very much Old World hunting cabin in theme. The rooms were huge and luxurious. I was so impressed by the friendliness of the staff as well as by their efficiency. I absolutely recommend this venue to anyone. read more

My wife, son, and i went to the house mountain inn for a stayover, and were floored by how gorgeous the inn is. The rooms are enormous, and the common area feels like a lodge from yosemite or glacier natl park. The staff are very accommodating. Breakfast was outstanding. The only downsides were the price, and that their advertised private hiking trail was pretty seriously overgrown and neglected. Still, its a beautiful location and we would return. read more

Awesooome! Would definitely stay here again! My partner and daughter had a great time and the staff was courteous and helpful! Thanks!

This is the place my husband and I come to get away from it all. It's like being transported to another world. We especially appreciate the comfortable bed and the hot tub. You also get a really unique dining experience here at the Inn. It's so luxurious we look forward to it every spring. The innkeepers are really nice as is all the staff. The views are amazing. read more

I had my wedding here. The location is just amazing. The wifey and I were looking for something in the mountains and we found this place. As soon as we got out of the car we knew this was the place. Jaime coordinated everything for us and just made our experience very enjoyable. The rooms were very spacious for all of our guests and everyone had a great time. The food for wedding was just amazing. No one had anything bad to say about the food. The service was also just amazing. We went on a hike before the wedding and had a great time. The grounds were beautiful. I couldn't have asked for anything more. It was a true pleasure staying here. read more

Very impressed, the room and place of stay was amazing, the view was awesome, the FOOD was so delicious, nice family owned, friendly, top notch!! Highly recommend for a weekend getaway. Also highly recommend for a wedding spot!!! read more

Wow! This place is truly phenomenal. My family just spent a long weekend at the Irvine Estate for my sister's wedding. We could not get enough of the views and ambiance. Jamie and the staff were top notch and incredibly professional and hospitable. Our entire stay was so enjoyable and my sister's wedding was her dream come true. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway or wedding venue. The food is amazing, the accommodations were clean and cozy, views are breathtaking....we did not want to leave. Thank you so much! It was a perfect weekend! read more

Beautiful inn and amazing views. Did not stay the inn but dined for dinner. One price, $40 for appetizer, entree, veggie and pasta of the day, dessert and beverages, The food and service were both good but not outstanding. I expected a more upscale presentation and service. The quail was excellent. Stuffed jumbo shrimp Was tasty but the shrimp were not jumbo. Fresh mozerrella was excellent but the scallop appetizer was gritty. Cheese cake was delicious but chocolate left something to be desired. Should be 3.5 stars read more

Everything about this place is the best. We loved our stay. The b&b was clean, cozy,well decorated and just beautiful. The staff were so friendly and made you feel right at home. Great trails, views, mountains, landscaping, dining, rooms and staff. We could not be happier with our stay. We just left and can't wait until our next visit. We could not be happier or say enough good things about this place!!! Top of the line.Nothing else compares!!! Loved every minute there. The ATV ride was wonderful too!!!! Much thanks to the staff. They were wonderful:) Mindy read more

My son was married here recently. House Mountain Inn was a wonderful venue. The grounds and buildings are beautiful and meticulously maintained. The mountain views are spectacular. It is absolutely a first class operation. As the groom's family we hosted the rehearsal event at the main House Mountain Inn facility. The wedding reception was "up the hill" at the Irvine complex. They are part of the same operation. Between the two complexes (House Mountain Inn and Irvine) there are about 15 or so (check with them) rooms. I can't speak for Irvine, but the Inns rooms are great; very large, a hot tub or jacuzzi, spotless.. perfect. I suspect this is not the place if you are looking for a bargain. Having said that, the rehearsal dinner and social after was reasonably priced. I can't speak for the wedding and reception cost. But given the quality of the whole experience, I'll guess it wasn't cheap. We had a buffet meal and it was wonderful, especially as wedding buffet food goes, it was the best I've had. My wife and I went as B&B guests about a year ago when we knew it was picked as the wedding venue. Again, perfect, spotless rooms. Great breakfast and dinner. The place was pretty empty, just one other couple there. Approx. late August, early September. It's about 20 minutes from anywhere, ie Lexington. My take is is there's not really much in Lexington (depending on your interest). I would highly recommend as a B&B get-a-way, but would suggest you be happy making the most of House Mountain Inn. All in all, an unsurpassed wedding venue. A great B&B get-a-way. The staff is terrific. read more

Our son and his lovely bride were just married at the House Mountain Inn. A wonderful venue...amazing location...and a great value. Jamie, Carrie, ALL the staff are wonderful. And the wedding couldn't have been lovelier. Additionally--I and one of the guests have Celiac Disease and our dietary needs were accommodated. Deliciously. Flawlessly. Cannot say enough nice things about HMI. read more

There is not possibly enough time to talk about how amazing this place is. We just finished our wedding weekend at House Mountain Inn. First of all, Jamie, the owner and wedding coordinator is fantastic. We booked out almost 2 years and she answered all of my questions and emails very timely along the way. Every bride knows how difficult it is to get your vendors to respond quickly. I was nervous about trying to plan a wedding a few hours away, and having all of our wedding guests coming from different states, but Jamie was very organized and very quickly put my mind at ease. Everything from check in to check out was perfect. The bartender, Dave was amazing as well. My family loved him and his sense of humor. Our wedding was flawless. Every time I thought I forgot to do something I would go down to set it up, only to find that Jamie had already done it. I can not explain how awesome the service staff was at the reception. Very friendly and attentive, always asking what we needed. Our guests commented all night on how delicious the food was, and what a beautiful venue it was. The whole weekend was very stress free. It is very obvious that Jamie, Dave, and the rest of the HMI staff love what they do. read more

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with dinner at House Mountain Inn on June 29. It is one of our favorite romantic dinner spots, with views of endless mountains, the lovely property and it's beautiful landscaping and water features. My husband had "the best crab cake (he'd) ever eaten." My duck breast was perfectly prepared. The evening was marred by an officious jerk who apparently sent Every. Single. Thing. back to the kitchen. He went on and on about having traveled there from Philadelphia, how his dissatisfaction was just "an accumulation of a lot of little things." There were perhaps 5 other couples there on a Wednesday night, all of whom had their evening spoiled by this brat. The chef, Tim, was most accommodating and polite and did everything possible to appease the customer, and even comped his whole meal, which seemed like a reward for bad behavior. I hope his date was properly embarrassed by his actions. We were the last couple to leave; Tim apologized to us for the fracas and comped our wine, nice but unnecessary. As I said, the food was very good (not Michelin-worthy, but far above average), and the service attentive but not overbearing. read more
