The husband-and-wife owners, along with their four wonderful boys, are building such a special place here. The property is absolutely stunning: an amazing barn that's ready to host weddings, a sparkling pond with a fountain and gazebo, a vineyard right on-site, a beautiful swimming pool, a cozy fire pit, and breathtaking mountain views in every direction. There's so much to do--wineries, breweries, and incredible restaurants are just 15 to 20 minutes away in any direction, along with antique shops to explore. Or you can stay put and relax: enjoy a private breakfast on the front porch, book an in-room massage, or have a romantic dinner under the old oak tree in the backyard. And the breakfast? Out of this world. The wife is an incredible cook--you'll wake up to something better than you could imagine every morning. Whether you're looking for a quiet escape, planning a wedding, or just want to enjoy Virginia wine country, The Orchard House B&B is absolute perfection. Highly recommend!

Carol, the owner, is a bundle of energy and endless Walton/Hamner lore as she tends to each guest as if they were family! The Hamner Family Home sleeps 6, with a full kitchen and a luxurious bath. Spend time on the porch listening to the sounds of nature surrounding you. Step up the hill to John and Olivia's Bed and Breakfast in the morning, served up hot and delicious at the family table by Carol and her staff. The B&B's main room and kitchen area are uncannily accurate replicas of the interior of the Hollywood set house. The B&B has several themed rooms each with a private bath. There is also a small gift shop with cool memorabilia for sale. Carol saved the Hamner house and the legacy of Earl Hamner, Jr. -- I had to give it 5 stars but if I could, I would give it 10! It's a nostalgic trip to a bygone era. Don't miss it!

It was the most affordable compared to other venues, most beautiful, and we have the luxury of staying the weekend and relaxing with our family! The house is amazing, and the soy crops outside mixed with the trees really sold it for us. Not only did we love the venue, but we also felt warm and welcomed by Annmarie. Since the moment we booked she has been a great communicator and we feel like she is really listening to our needs. Not the "corporate" feel if you will. We also did our save the dates at the venue with their photographer! They turned out AMAZING! It was so fun and taking pictures with the horses really made them feel so much more magical. We are booked for May and I could not be more excited! Also just to add- they had so many options to help with vendors, which helped us pick our caterer! It's so much less stress than I imagined because they are SO helpful! I am so excited about our wedding and could not recommend this venue enough!

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights after a wedding at another plantation down the road, and…read moreit was a great experience. We got a chance to enjoy the kitchen and the pool. Our room was nicely appointed and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was a nice size with good water pressure. They do not cook a full breakfast in the mornings but there were bagles cream, cheese, other pastries, coffee, tea, and juice for us in the morning. We never ran into the owner until just before leaving on the second day, but felt at home the whole time. We will definitly be back again the next time we are in the area, it is definitley a home away from home kind of place and was a great value for quality of accomodations. The only downfall is that it is cash or check only...no cc travel points for me on this stay.

A 1910 home with grand rooms, high ceilings and filled with charm you will never get from a corporate chain. The rooms were lovely, spacious and the bathroom was gigantic with a beautiful claw foot tub. Breakfast was served in the grand dining room with a large fireplace. We were served coffee, tea, 4 different juices, fresh baked pastries, quiche, yogurt, bacon and more bacon. We felt like royalty. Our only complaint was that we couldn't stay longer. We were only in town for one day. The Inn on the Avenues was an amazing stay and we whole heartedly recommend you choose this place over any hotel/motel. The price was great, food was delicious, the owner was as kind as could be and it was an unforgettable stop on our vacation. We look forward to our next stay here.

Parking was a breeze, purchasing tickets was easy, and we were able to shop in every single room of the Inn, which also essentially doubled as a tour.

One of the owners was dolling out the samples and it was nice to chat with him. You could tell he and his wife put a lot of love into their Inn. I wouldn't hesitate to return for other events and will keep this spot in mind for future visitors looking for a B&B experience as well.

One review?!? People need to know about this place!!!…read more We travel frequently and love to stay at B&Bs. We had reservations to stay at a different B&B in Scottsville but due to an unfortunate situation we found ourselves looking for alternate arrangements. While I was on the cell phone checking for a place my wife ran across The Chester and called them. She was smiling from the moment that she spoke with them on the phone which, considering our frame of mind, was a great start. We got to this place which was absolutely gorgeous. The Inn was spacious, clean, very tastefully decorated and painted, and smelled like roses and family. We were warmly greeted by Jean who showed us the rooms and was accommodating from the get go. She helped us plan dinner and set up a late wine tasting trip, as well as offered to make dinner for us the evening after. The dinner was fantastic with Jean and Craig pampering us with delicious food, wine and dessert. If you have the opportunity to have dinner with them ask her for the orange squash soup and the rosemary pork...WOW! The breakfasts too were amazing!! We offered Jean to buy our own bacon/sausage since my wife does not eat nitrates (migraines). She told us not to worry about it and she will figure it out. The first day she served a fantastic veggie quiche (sorry if I am not using the right term) with fresh juice and french pressed coffee. The second day french toast with NITRATE FREE apple sausages! Our rooms were promptly made every day and Craig made sure to provide turned down service which was a very nice detail. Oh yeah, we got to meet the grand baby and also the Inn mascot, Trixie, who is a sweet little dog with the best personality. One of the best B&B experiences we've had period! We will be back!!

The second evening we even talked them into a scotch and great conversation in front of a roaring fire.

First off, every interaction from booking to check out was full of kindness and going above and beyond. When the owners found out we were celebrating a birthday, T excitedly said she'd "birthday bomb" the room. That she did! Full of decorations and balloons, it was a beautiful way to celebrate. Then, after chatting with Jim, the chef, he learned that the birthday boy loved lamb and offered to make that special (we signed up for the five course meal). The five courses we had were so worth the cost. Not only were portions huge, but everything we were given was absolutely delicious. I'll dream of that filet mignon for a while. The three course breakfasts were also amazing, made extra special by selecting one of their tons of options of flavored lattes. I couldn't recommend staying here more. In addition, the grounds were gorgeous and well kept. We'll be back next year! Thank you Jim and T for making everything so special.
