This was our first stay at a B&B and the Dinsmore House has set the bar pretty high. Denise & Ryan were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. Our room was clean and the bed extremely comfortable. We stayed on the sleeping porch which was not quite level, but not unreasonable. Breakfast both mornings was great and the blackberry... more

We love the way the staff at Dinsmore thought of the little things. A welcoming glass of wine, complimentary DVDs, an anniversary card on the mantle, fresh flowers on coffee table and a "dream machine" on the nightstand. It's a neat old house in a good jumping off location for our getaway, but the staff attentiveness is what we'll remember.... more

Our stay at The Dinsmore Inn was excellent. We have stayed in many Bed and Breakfast establishments in Virginia and this is by far, the best place we have visited. This fact, on top of being in Charlottesville, made for a great experience. The owners, Ryan and Denise, were very pleasant, professional and accommodating. The 4:00 pm Wine & Cheese... more

When we were looking for a place to stay in Charlottesville, we looked at the Dinsmore House website and were impressed. Impressions on arrival were not so good however as we were disappointed to find that the inn sits on a busy main road and it’s a reasonable mile walk into town. There is a frequent free bus service however.... more

I just returned from another great weekend getaway at the Dinsmore House. Every fall my husband and I visit Charlottesville to celebrate the anniversary of our first date (cheesy I know) and always stay at the Dinsmore House. This was our 5th visit here and we're already planning the next! The Dinsmore House is such an amazing Bed & Breakfast,... more

My new husband and I chose to extend our honeymoon for one day so that we would be able to see Monticello so we booked the last available room at The Dinsmore House. The Dinsmore House is an immaculate property with an interesting history located only a short walk from a busy sightseeing and shopping district. We were pleasantly greeted... more

The Dinsmore House Inn is simply lovely, we stayed in the Veranda room and could not have been more satisfied. The room is furnished well and very comfortable. Ryan and Denise are friendly and extremely helpful, without being intrusive. The wine and cheese social was enjoyable with three other couples. Breakfast delicious and served either in the dining room or... more

Dinsmore House has some good things going for it - it's quite attractively decorated and with comfy beds but it could do with some refurbishment - nothing that some serious maintenance and redecoration could put right. Our room was large and light but the bathroom was miniscule and rather dilapidated. The air conditioning made an infernal racket and the windows... more

From our arrival to our departure, everything was in order and as advertised at the Dinsmore house! The bedding was fabulous, the location was perfect for a nice stroll down to the pedestrian mall, and the breakfast was delicious. We received a very warm welcome here, without feeling like our privacy was invaded. The friendly owners and staff made us... more

The inn was built by a friend of Thomas Jefferson. Our room was large, lovely and very comfortable. The owners are helpful and pleasant. Some exceptional restaurants are within easy walking distance. more
