Traveler's Choice Travel and Lodging Directory of Bed and Breakfast, Country Inns, and Small Hotels. About 1890, a small school opened in Irvington, Virginia on the property of the old Methodist church. The two front doors remain, but the lower classrooms are now combined into an expansive, columned lobby with a dramatic stair, fireplace, and intimate conversational settings. The upstairs bedrooms are individually styled, elegant and rather hopelessly romantic. The smallest room features a previously hidden passageway to the bath, while the largest guest room steps onto a double balcony overlooking the front lawn.
All guest rooms have private baths, beautiful linens and plenty of soft pillows.
Behind the Inn there are four private guest cottages with their own small gardens. Each cottage drips charm, character and romance. To the rear of the property is The Meeting House, a small conference and retreat center which will accommodate up to twenty people. Guests will marvel at the authentic Victorian gardens featuring flowers and plants not seen in Virginia since the 1800's. A small, winding path leads to the most wonderful outdoor shower, complete with claw foot tub and sink in a totally private setting.
