We had one of our friends stay inside in one of the rooms and he also enjoyed his room. The owner of the Inn was a wonderful guy. He was very helpful and provided everything we needed. He knew the area well, and was very friendly. We all enjoyed breakfast in the morning and enjoyed a good conversation with the owner as we ate and he served us. If you are looking for a relaxing weekend in Virginia, I can't imagine a much better experience than what we had. I definitely plan on going back!

I called the inn concierge to ask a few questions, but they didn't respond, and never retuned my call, although I left a clear message. I tried calling again on another day, but again went to voicemail. It was easy to locate and parking was fine. The landscaping around the inn was lovely. My room was at the top of a narrow, steep staircase. No offer of help to get my bag up there until I got to the top, and then one of the housekeepers kindly helped me with my bag. The room was what I expected, given the inn is old. The bathroom was okay and the hot water was fine. It was clean, but there were ants around the coffee maker, as well as larger bugs- I woke up to find a medium sized black bug under my back and in the bathroom , another larger one on my shoulder. I didn't find anyone at the desk at 5pm or at 7am the next morning to answer questions or check out. I had been given a number to call if you needed them but I didn't want to bother them, as it wasn't an emergency. There were no snacks or drinks available in the afternoon or overnight, and they recommended I either go to a gas station nearby, or go to the beautiful winery down the road, which I did, but they were full and did not offer a take-out lunch. There was a nice new Nespresso machine in my room, and I enjoyed the coffee immensely. I did not stay for breakfast, as I found my stay an unpleasant experience overall. It was not a place I would want to visit again.

I liked how our room had its own mini fridge stocked with water. Plenty of parking outside in gravel or in the field next door if needed. This place has a lot of history and is rustic and beautiful. Our room was nice but the bathroom was a little outdated. The sink was in the room and the shower was small and old but did the job!

Our room was clean and neatly kept. The house is also very quiet at night. We didn't hear anybody in our neighboring rooms and they were fully booked. They have very nice music they play in the main rooms downstairs during the day. The music gave a relaxing atmosphere to read or talk. Breakfast is absolutely delicious! We truly enjoyed our french toast with eggs and sausage, pears with cream, turkey sausage and egg casserole, greek yogurt with honey and berries. Sarah is a very good chef and hostess! We also chose to eat dinner at the B and B after a day of winery touring. We had a delicious salad, grilled chicken and pesto pasta with a glass of white or red wine and a yummy pudding dessert! We also met a very nice couple at breakfast which we hope to have dinner with soon! The B and B is quiet and friendly. It is also located near many different wineries in the area. We are not usually B and B people and I would definitely return here! I felt we had plenty of privacy, but it is also a small enough place to chat with people at breakfast or maybe outside by the fire pit. Read less

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!

We arrived early to get our champagne and walk around the property, which is gorgeous. We were seated in a private dining area, with special menus that said "Happy Birthday", since I let them know I was celebrating there. The service is top notch. But beware, you can't add more guests to your party after a certain time so if anything changes with your reservation, let them know ASAP! The wine pairings with each meal were fabulous. I especially liked trying the ice wine at the end with dessert. I also love that they change the menu and are seasonal! Our menu was dreamy! The first course shrimp and grits had us all licking our plates. We even asked the chef at the end how he made the grits. Perfect!! The next round was an interesting goat cheese and corn soup. Loved the pumpkin seeds with it. Then....the filet. YUMMMM! Now they don't ask you how you like it cooked but we all got rare which was fine. The asparagus was nice with it too. The dessert topped it all off, with a perfect peach compote and almond cake that had us all delighted. Or maybe it was all the wine. Not to be missed is the pipping hot French press coffee we all enjoyed after dinner. Again, superior service, cozy atmosphere, and we enjoyed our convo with the chef afterwards. It was certainly a special occasion for the price, but in my party's opinion, very worth it and a night we will not soon forget.

I'm so glad I ended up staying at Fox Hill b&b, even though there were hotels closer to my race. Charlie and Julie acquired the place during the pandemic, and they're seriously killing it. Grounds. Absolutely gorgeous. The b&b is on a large stretch of land and there's plenty of small mown grass paths to explore and walk around. Mountains around, and of course close by to some legit hiking trails which I hope to hit in the future. Rooms. All I can say is that the pictures don't quite do them justice. Yes, they're quaint. I think I was expecting the rooms to "feel" older, but there were so many cute details, and everything looked new and very well kept. The bed and couch (where I may have watched like 2 hours of qvc) were comfy. They have a few rooms, two with kitchens. We got a kitchen room, and my parents got a non-kitchen room. Both with beautiful views of the grounds. The kitchen was well equipped, literally with everything that I needed (pots, saucepans, strainers, cutlery, bunch of different sized bowls/plates/mugs, etc.). There were also a lot of nice little touches, like drinks in the refrigerator that were gulped down immediately after the race or paw wipes for the dog. FOOD. This is the biggie. I've never ever ever have been to a more welcoming b&b. When I booked the room, about half a year in advance, Julie asked about dietary restrictions. I told her that we were vegan, and she asked me what type of milk I liked to drink (oat) and what I thought about vegan muffins/how I made them. I didn't think much about it because I figured she'd forget and we'd do what we always do - bring our milk, bring our food, just eat out of a can (sigh/lol). When we got there, they had bought oat milk, just egg, and had a recipe for vegan muffins for our breakfast. Breakfast was topnotch. A scramble of just egg with lots of veggies, vegan breakfast sausage, potatoes, delicious blueberry muffins, cup of fruit, and coffee with oat milk. Maybe redundant, but Charlie and Julie were also just good people. And there's some self selection it seems, because all other guests were friendly as well. Some other notes: - Dogs allowed in rooms, grounds, but not in main building (where the kitchen is). - There is an outdoor eating area if you're still uncomfortable eating inside (like my mom is). They had large heaters for the outdoor tables. - Check in between 4 - 7 p.m. They like to know when you get there because they set things up for your stay and like to welcome you in.

In a sentence, White Pig is a vegan bed-and-breakfast with Victorian aesthetic, where proceeds go directly to helping rescued pigs, goats, and horses. Both of our stays were incredibly enriching and meaningful to us as lifelong vegans. The rooms are extremely comfortable, elegant, tastefully and practically laid out. Heavy emphasis on pig related knickknacks, wall art, and general animal decor reminds you what is at the heart of all this. Founder/ owner/ innkeeper, Dina, is also chef extraordinaire. She provides gorgeous and nutritious vegan breakfast in a charming kitchen with cheerily arranged pig-forward table settings. As soon as you start talking with her, you'll find her to be one of the most compassionate advocates for animals you will ever meet. She's devoted her life to raising awareness and introducing people to the intelligent and gregarious animal so many of us grew up eating. Dina knows the area well and has wonderful suggestions. It's thanks to her that my husband and I took a hot air balloon ride over the Charlottesville Mountains during our anniversary stay. When I returned with my daughter's on our most recent visit, we opted to stay on the farm and visit with the resident rescues for the entirety of our leisure time. The horses and pony are located near the big house. My girls adored these social creatures who come to greet them over the fence. Then it was on to the pigs & goats. Oh my goodness there are domesticated pigs of every style and breed I thought imaginable, so many we had never heard of . Adorable kunekune (fury pigs), dignified little warthogs, standard English pigs with floppy ears, and every color and pattern a Vietnamese potbellied pig can be. For the most part the pigs are interested in a friendly hello. Some little fellows are standoffish and there's plenty of space for them to stay away from the commotion of visitors. There are quite a few goats in the mix as well. Each of these rescue animals are so delightful and it's humbling to think of the journeys that brought them to this beautiful vegan sanctuary. If you're looking to support a good cause while also being surrounded by natural beauty and staying in comfortable accommodations with a cruelty-free and quite delicious breakfast provided to you, then you should book a stay at White Pig.
