Our single night visit was very pleasant. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful and safe. The room was spic and span and private. There were extra sitting room areas if needed. The hostess was friendly and shared information about the local area. She made a very fine breakfast. We wish we had more time to explore the area from this base.... More

I was looking for lodging options around George Washington Birthplace National Monument and Monroe Bay Inn B&B was the closest and highest-rated option. It did not disappoint! Shirley, the hostess, was incredibly friendly and accommodating to my schedule. The Inn is located close to everything in town and Shirley's restaurant recommendations were great. The house was extremely clean, the bed... More

A friend from Chicago & I wanted a quiet overnight getaway. Monroe Bay Inn was the perfect solution. A seafood dinner at Lowery's in Tappahanock, meandering through the Northern Neck, an Arts walk in Colonial Beach, all topped off with a hot cup of tea and a visit with our hostess, Shirley. The three of us talked about international relations,... More

My wife and I took a long weekend to explore Colonial Beach and stayed at Monroe Bay Inn. It has a great location between the bay and the river, about a 10 minute walk from the center of town. The house itself is very comfortable, with plenty of space inside and out to spread out and relax. Shirley, the hostess,... More

My second trip to the Monroe Bay Inn was just as delightful as my first experience! The innkeeper made my stay as pleasant & comfortable as before which is always appreciated when your expectations are high. I was not disappointed but enjoyed my stay even more this time.

My cousin and I spent a long weekend at the Inn. My cousin is from MD and I am "local", matter of fact VERY local. I live less than 10 miles from this delightful B & B. I never have time to enjoy the great things the area has to offer, so I decided to take the time to chill... More

Shirley was a fantastic host. She served a great breakfast and made us feel at home. She has a fantastic space and a great location. It's just off the main drag of Colonial Beach (less than 2 mins) so you're close enough but far enough away that you can relax. She is active in the local art community and offers... More

In just two days, my wife and I had the experiences of a normal week anywhere else. Thanks to the recommendations and referrals from our Inn Keeper, Shirley Hinrichs, we sampled the excellent food and sights of this very interesting and comforting area of the country. Shirley has managed to display a beautiful variety of local Art that can be... More

Just a great spot to unwind and use as your base to see the area. We did the local restaurnats, Washington's birthplace, a winery and a walk along the Potomac. Shirley is a wonderful and interesting hostess.
