    Great little place! Love the "inn" feeling -- down to the set of keys provided for both the room…read moreand the main places of the inn. Quaint and somewhat unique these days! Like a maze inside, but very cool. Great service by the young lady who got us checked in! Felt like distant family welcoming us to their home. Charming. Live music, good food, great back patio/beach, and wonderful rooms with a good view and walkout to a patio overlooking the river. If there weren't so many telephone/power poles around the front of the place, photography opportunities would be great. At least the backyard is picturesque. The only slightly negative thing worth noting is that outside it can be a bit loud considering both the river with its small waterfall and the live music. Def would go back!

    Loved my stay last week. From the moment I arrived, I was treated like family. After staying in…read moreprior years in smaller economy rooms, I booked a large room on the second floor with access to a shared balcony for 2 nights. The sound of the waterfall was extremely relaxing and since I was able to open windows it made for a restful sleep. My room was near the noise from the bar but it ended at 9:00. The breakfast in the morning was delicious (fluffy eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, fruit, muffins, toast, bagels and mugs of coffee), managed by a wonderfully attentive woman who went table to table to ask if everythi was ok. All of this was accompanied by a beautiful view of the river. Great way to start the day. Dinner of grilled trout, mashed potatoes with garlic and rosemary, and braised heirloom carrots from the new fall menu was lovely. Finally, I enjoyed the mix of people I encountered, from retirees (like me) there to ride the Creeper trail (currently the Damascus to Abingdon portion is open, trail from Whitetop to Damascus open Mar27), to a group planning to hike the Appalachian Trail for 3 days. Lots of adventure to be found in the area. My favorite though was relaxing and painting on the deck by the river. Will definitely be back.

    My wife and I stayed a the River Garden Bed and Breakfast for one night in August. The facility is…read moreawesome-- the location right next to the river was simply beautiful and relaxing. Paula was our hostess and she was wonderful. She greeted us upon arrival, gave us a quick but thorough tour, offered us cold drinks, and let us be. She cooked a wonderful breakfast in the morning. We were staying for only one night but wish we had more time to enjoy the inn and surroundings. We thought the inn was a GREAT value for the money. We would have spent more at a standard hotel by the highway. The inn was way more relaxing, quiet and peaceful than our other options. The inn was very well decorated and did not have too many throw pillows! Our deck looked out over the river and we feel asleep listening to the river. We did not realize that there were other guests at the inn. We had all the peace and quiet we needed. I highly recommend talking to Paula about the best way to get to the inn. We planned to arrive before dark but we fell behind schedule. We relied on our smart phones but lost service coming in along some very rural roads from the north. It was a fun but crazy nighttime drive along the N. Fork River Road until we found the inn. I should have printed out a map! The inn has WiFi and was in range for our Verizon phone service. The inn has a big man cave, music room, hot tub, and lots of other amenities that we plan to enjoy when we return.

    A Disappointment. We've stayed at many bed & breakfasts and…read morethis was the first time we were disappointed with our choice. The pictures on the website were obviously old, probably when they first opened. When we noticed the For-Sale sign at the entrance I started to have my doubts. Apparently, the owners turned their home into the B&B about 15 years ago and may have made some alterations at that time but it can use some current upgrading. Our shower was smaller than an old phone booth and would not be comfortable for anyone bigger than an average teenager. There were rules for using the tub and shower I guess due to plumbing issues and when I went to plug in my phone charger by our bed there was an extension cord with other things plugged in and the lamp flickered. The owners/ innkeepers were too involved in conversations and at times somewhat rude and condescending. Our first morning breakfast with no other guests at the table was good but when I asked for decaf coffee I was looked at as if I was some-kind of an alien and told how people who drink decaf never finish their coffee and don't understand why they drink decaf. Well I have a serious allergy to caffeine but I guess that was irrelevant. Our second day breakfast was also good and thankfully there were other guests which limited the innkeeper's involvement in conversation. It was also the first time we were not given a room key which was strange. The positives are that it was a convenient location close to town and the grounds were nice with a nice porch and yard. Bottom line after reading some of the previous reviews I should have paid more attention to the bad reviews. This is not a place we would return.

    From the owner: White Birches Inn is the only bed & breakfast in Abingdon, VA that can offer you a king-size bed,…read morein-room fireplace, oversized whirlpool tub, and a private walk-in tiled shower. Our boutique inn, which is a Virginia Green Lodging inn, offers personalized service and luxurious accommodations and creates a wonderfully inviting alternative to typical hotel lodging. Though most of the furnishings are English or American antiques, there is a compelling mix of periods. Many of the pieces are museum-worthy: An Eighteenth-Century Norwegian upholstered chair and a Nineteenth Century Biedermeier secretary share space with Picasso lithographs and Russian Iconistry. The collection spans centuries and countries of origin yet reflects a consistent refined aesthetic.
