The Inn At Vaucluse Spring

This place was an incredible weekend getaway! They are so accommodating for any special dietary needs, I am gluten free and they did an incredible job with the food. All the staff, as well as the owners are so sweet and make you feel right at home. The rooms are great, well kept and the beds are so comfortable! Will definitely be returning in the future. The grounds are well kept and there are plenty of places to walk around, and sit outside and enjoy the peace and quiet.

New owners Tiffany and Derrick are welcoming, down to earth and classy. Grounds and rooms are beautiful and very clean. Food is delicious and special diets are not a problem. If you want to have dinner there call ahead. My only regret is not having dinner there. Would highly recommend.

This is a REALLY lovely place with very reasonable prices (as B & B’s go). We stayed in the Chumley Homestead building with two other couples — there is room to add a 4^th couple in this building. After a hike in the Shenandoah National Forest off of Skyline Drive (about a half hour away) we arrived here in the late afternoon with our friends. There were homemade cookies and local apple cider in the Manor House to greet us, and then we returned to the Chumley house where we had our own happy hour in our sun porch. There is a kitchen for refrigeration and complimentary water, soda, and coffee in this building. We had dinner in Winchester at «M» and then came back to Chumley to the log cabin living room where we lit a fire in the walk-​in sized fireplace. The furniture in this room is a little bit tired, but overall it was a great setting to hang out with friends. We stayed in the Zane room, which I loved. Another wood burning fireplace, jacuzzi tub, comfortable 4 posted bed, plenty of amenities in the bathroom, and nice towels. The walls are a little thin in Chumley — we could hear our friends talking next door (muffled) and in the sitting room we could hear the guests upstairs talking (again, muffled). Slept like a rock — the quiet is intoxicating. The grounds are well maintained and very scenic, including the crystal clear mill pond, and the staff and breakfast were top notch. Breakfast was all homemade, local, unique, well-​served, and delicious. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to my friends, I hope to come here again and to enjoy dinner next time. Final note: The current owners are retiring and have just sold to a young couple with two young teens. We met the husband who seems friendly and gracious. I look forward to seeing what new energy they bring to Vaucluse Spring!

This was our twelfth «mystery destination» for my discriminating friends. Believe me, if I picked a bad place I would never hear the end of it. This time, I had six other couples along from various places from north NJ to Virginia who were all given a series of envelopes that gradually directed them, this time to this fabulous inn. Not a complaint from the group! And that is saying something. Neil was very accommodating, and we had the multi course dinner that received raves. There was also plenty of things to do in the surrounding area.

My girlfriend and I stayed here over the 2015 Memorial Day weekend. We stayed for two nights.
Upon arrival and check in, Barry met us and the first thing he said after greeting us was, «Can I get you anything at all? How can I make your stay fantastic?» That is exactly the type of people they are and how serious they take their role as your hosts.
The main house, The Manor House, was expertly decorated and included maps of the area wineries, winery reviews, certificates for free tastings and lots of other local brochures so you had plenty to do (if you wanted to venture off the B&B grounds).
The Manor House had fireplaces in every room which were lit during dining and giant doorways which really took you back in time. Every experience with staff was exceptionally pleasant and it was obvious that they wanted to make your experience worthwhile.
We reserved the Stephens Room in the Chumley Homeplace. It’s a separate building towards the front of the property off of the main road. The facility was quiet, clean and had everything we needed. There was a kitchen in the main portion of the building with every implement (free fridge use, sodas, waters, ice machine, extra pool towels, etc) you could imagine… and coffee was completely ready in the morning!
The room had a private balcony after exiting french doors and was exactly what we needed to enjoy the delicious wine we discovered while exploring the area.
Dinner at the resort on Friday night was good. The bibb salad was remarkable! Entrée used local asparagus and was as good as it gets.
Upon departure, they provided a large box to store our wine so they wouldn’t roll around the back of our vehicle and asked us about our stay and plans for the day. We quickly remarked that we were heading out for a trail ride. Two days after returning home, we received a personalized email thanking us for staying with them and asking how the trail ride went. We were pleasantly surprised they remembered and it shows how incredible this couple and B&B is.
Neil and Barry… thank you so much for a weekend that will be hard to beat!

This place is a gem! My significant other booked us a room (the cabin on the pond room). It far surpassed any of my expectations, especially since I didn’t do any research on the Inn beforehand. I figured it would be a typical B&B, but it is so much more. The grounds are lovely and are nice to walk around, the staff is absolutely outstanding and went out of their way to make us feel at home, the room was fabulous and very clean (Jacuzzi for two, king bed, fireplace, porch with rocking chairs), the FOOD (!!!)…that was the icing on the cake. I had no idea that I was in for a delicious five course dinner (with wine pairing for an extra fee) and then three course breakfast the next day. Everything homemade and absolutely delicious. Impeccable service. The next time (because there will be a next time) I’ll be sure to wear something other than jeans/​sneakers to dinner (oops). The experience made me feel like I was in a different decade. At one point I felt like I was in the real life version of the game Clue sans murder mystery.
I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a romantic weekend, a getaways with friends/​family, a place to rest your head after winery tours, a fantastic meal, and/​or an escape for daily life. It’s close enough that the drive from DC is easy yet far enough that you’re removed from the daily madness. It’s Monday morning and I am refreshed.

I’m not a big «bed and breakfast» guy but I have to give this Inn 5 stars.
We had a family wedding here and every room was taken by family members. Neil and Barry made sure every detail was taken care of. All went off without a hitch and this venue was perfect for the wedding.
One highlight for me was the dinning. They must have a fabulous chef. Every breakfast and dinner was like dinning in a fine restaurant. Even my boys loved the meals!
If you are looking for a bed and breakfast in this area-​this is the one.

This place was great! Very elegant and historical. The food made it a 5 star place – amazing 3 course breakfasts and great dinners. They accommodated my dairy allergy with ease and didn’t simply give me a meal minus the dairy ingredients but made me my own personal delicious dairy free dinner/​breakfast. The pool was also a huge plus. Nice inn keepers who obviously cared a lot about their guests. The grounds were great, as well. An excellent choice.

We have been staying at the Inn for years and we are never disappointed. Barry and Neil are perfect hosts. Alway helpful and warm but never overbearing. Neil makes the most delicious treats for breakfast. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. Chef Adam makes dinner an event. His food is creative and delicious. The staff and so attentive and friendly, it’s like visiting family. We are always sad to leave.

This inn is amazing! My fiancé and I literally live minutes away from the inn, but needed a weekend away from our kids and life in general. We got exactly what we were looking for. It was my birthday and I chose the inn to propose to my fiancé. I am glad I did. We stayed in the Thornton room in the manor house, which was absolutely stunning. If you need to just get away or celebrate a special occasion, don’t hesitate on choosing the inn, this is the place you’ve been looking for! This is truly a hidden gem! We are glad we have a new «hide out» to run to when needed. One tip thou: Do not miss out on dinner! Chef Adams offerings were simply wonderful. Thank you Neil and Barry!

My husband and I stayed here for two nights. We were amazed by the delicious food each morning and how clean the place was. There wasn’t a speck of dust anywhere, no joke, it was spotless, even under the bed was dust free, attention to detail like this really impressed us.
Aside from the delicious food, the property is very tranquil and relaxing. They are located on over 100 acres and have several different properties to choose for your stay, we stayed in the manor house and we’re glad we did. The manor house has a back porch with rocking chairs, it was perfect to sip lemonade and eat cookies (they offer mid-​afternoon snacks too). I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a weekend getaway in Virginia (its about an hour and 20 minutes outside DC area).

The Mrs and I spent a romantic weekend here in late summer 2013 and I must say that the reviews prior to mine do not lie. The charm of this place is hard to put into words, you really have to experience it first hand. The pictures do make an attempt at capturing some of the tranquility of the Inn but alas its an experience that must be felt by your senses.
The food is equal to that of any five star restaurant. Service is outstanding. The rooms and accommodations are just fantastic; the floors are clean enough to eat off of, all of your needs are thought of and addressed, and the staff are very attentive to address any concern, or convenience to make your stay optimal.
We had a great time, and even though you don’t get that «personal» feeling from the owners that you’d get at a smaller B&B (The Inn can host 34 guests in total) the charm and intimacy is exactly the same.

I’m apprehensive about writing this review as I’d like to keep it a secret, but I must return the favor.
This place is an absolute gem. Likely the most romantic weekend you’ll spend so close to DC. Check out some wineries, go hiking, ride horseback… The area has lots to offer, but be sure to relax and take it all in. We found that exploring a site and hitting a single vineyard was the perfect day.
We stayed in the cabin and it was sublime. Not a single detail was unchecked; Barry, Neil, and the staff have done an amazing job putting together and maintaining the property.
Dining was top-​notch and you won’t find anything to rival it close by. You’ll be asked if you’ll be staying for dinner when you make your reservation… Just say yes. Trust me, I did the research. Chef Adam and the staff are outstanding.
I reviewed countless places within four hours of the DC area before selecting Vaucluse for our first anniversary. I have no doubt that it was not only the best option, but the closest. A real no-​brainer and we can’t wait to go back!

The inn is on a gorgeous piece of property. Stunning in all ways. The rooms have modern tubs and amenities, and I enjoyed a gas fireplace.
Breakfast was delicious! Every bit the experience of the inn. The hosts are also pleasant and helpful without being overbearing. The staff are also great!
However, I must disagree with the other reviewers about the meal Chef Adam prepared. I found the food to lack zeal and vibrant flavors that did not pair well in the progression of the meal. I also found the courses lacked harmony and connection, and each offering stood alone and unconnected to the next course. This chef is talented and can execute a solid gourmet meal, but I think the courses lacked a certain character. It is almost as if more attention was paid to the execution and technical skill rather than making something taste earth shattering or heavenly.

This delightful place seems to be in the middle of nowhere. It seems to pop up like a mirage.
We did not stay there but did go for dinner. It was a very good experience the food and service was very intimate. We highly recommend it.

Paradise found. We’ve been a few times now and each time we go, we discover some more charm. The real gem here is the dining. Chef Adam is brilliant and with him at the helm this place is quickly becoming our dining destination.

I took my mom to the Inn at Vaucluse Spring for Mother’s Day weekend, which also happened to be her birthday! I can say this was the MOST lovely place I have been in ages — wonderful owners, staff, guests, room, the 6-​course Saturday dinner was AMAZING. All top notch! They were also incredibly accommodating to my vegetarian, no fish diet. I will most definitely be returning ASAP!

Dined here for this first time this evening, and will definitely make return trips! This is a hidden gem of the Shenandoah Valley! What a wonderful experience – a beautiful setting, wonderful staff and fantastic food!

Wedding Mini Moon «V I P STYLE»…because that’s how WE ROLL!
Now I understand why this place has amazing reviews on TripAdvisor, I must seriously thank the TripAdvisor GODS for guiding me in the right direction. I bow to you oh great one…
Inn At Vaucluse Springs is an amazing and romantic B&B but if you must visit this INN you must visit «Lexy M style».
— You MUST book a room or cabin with Jacuzzi Tub & Fireplace
— You MUST make dinner reservations with their amazing Chef and his Friday & Saturday 5 course Meal (One of the best meals I have ever had)
— You MUST have breakfast sent up to bed one morning
— You MUST try their homemade breads and pastries
— You MUST explore this town and near by towns for the day… travel to the little towns through the mountains out in the country.
— You MUST get take out from one of the local BBQ restaurants and drive on down to the local DRIVE-​IN THEATER for a romantic night in your ride «50’s style».
— You MUST take advantage of the Horse Ride Trails… let out that inner cowgirl/​boy ya hear!
This 3 day trip was the Perfect Mini Moon after our Wedding. I look forward to our Honeymoon over seas but i’m so glad we got to enjoy a little piece of GOOD OLE AMERICA in the little town of Stephens City.
YEEEEHAW!

My wife and I had a wonderful trip to the Inn and could not have asked for more. It was one week after peak foliage on skyline drive and the views were still stunning. I will say that the service by the owners and staff would have to be the star at the Inn, but this is not to take anything away from the location. We stayed in the manor house and thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the back porch reading and sipping cider and tea supplied by the Inn. All the meals we had were phenomenal. The breakfasts left you full for hours and featured the tastes of the season and the dinner was well worth the price. If you stay here you don’t need to leave to enjoy the scenery because it is the perfect getaway with a pool, a pond, a spring, and woods. I would love to return… if I can ever find the time.
