Turn your visit into a vacation

Relax at a bed and breakfast in the Valley

The Valley is full of cozy, quaint bed and breakfasts that cater to busy parents in need of some rest and relaxation. As convenient as a motel can be, these B&Bs allow you to relax in comfort. Let yourselves sink into beds that feel as if they are made of clouds and allow the innkeepers to treat you like royalty. The following four B&Bs will make you want to come to Harrisonburg and not let your children know you are here. Enjoy!

 

The Stonewall Jackson Inn (View Photo Slideshow)

The Stonewall Jackson Inn is a restored mansion, circa 1885, that looks and feels like an old summer home on the New England coast. There are 10 guestrooms available at the Inn with varying bed sizes and a private bath. Take your pick from the rooms, which each have their own unique qualities and character—from the décor to the ambiance.


Whether you are in the Stonewall Jackson Suite, or in any of the smaller ones such as The Robert E. Lee room, you will not be disappointed. Just as these men, after whom the rooms were named, made history, so will you when you make a visit here. The Inn is covered with beautiful watercolors by Rachel Goodman and original prints of P. Buckley Moss. The Stonewall Jackson Suite is the Inn’s premier suite that includes a king-size bed, sitting area, wet bar, in-room private bath, shower and more.


Wake up to a succulent gourmet breakfast that can include anything your heart desires. From Eggs Nova Scotia—Egg Benedict with smoke salmon with cream cheese and dill served with fresh bacon—to a Brie Breakfast Soufflé or a Crab Soufflé, you will never want to leave the table.


What’s even better about this B&B is that it is only five minutes away from the JMU campus, so you can make the annual visit to the kids your own special getaway. Web site: www.stonewalljacksoninn.com. >>continue
