Normally, I’m not a bed and breakfast type of person. Kitsch really isn’t my thing, and I want privacy when I’m on vacation. But we had dinner reservations at the Inn at Little Washington to celebrate my girlfriend’s 30th birthday, and that meant we had to spend the night in one of Washington’s many B&Bs. I first got the hint... More

Visit date: 12/2 - 12/4/11. Just prior to our arrival, my husband had a serious allergic reaction to a horse we petted nearly an hour prior. John went out of his way to find a local doctor, but we ended up soaking his eye & waiting it out (it cleared up w/in 24 hrs). This B&B is not only perfect,... More

We stayed at the B&B for my husband's birthday and dinner at the Inn at Little Washington. Our dinner reservations weren't until 9 PM and we were looking for cheese and crackers to hold us over. We bought a couple bottles of wine at the local shop and then asked Diane where we could find some snacks. As we were... More

We travelled to Foster Harris House to celebrate a friend's birthday and have dinner at Inn at Little Washington. Finding this B&B was such a nice treat. The hosts go out of their way to make you stay memorable. Our rooms were upgraded upon our arrival. Wine was offered, and then the whole bottle appeared. We asked to borrow a... More

My husband and I took my sister for her 50th b'day celebration on this amazing trip. We absolutely loved the whole package. The owners and organizers are so pleasant and "happy" and thought of every detail. The cycling is challenging but rewarded with gourmet meals at the beginning and end of each day. The B&B is small and intimate and... More

We stayed at the Foster Harris House and did the Tour d'Epicure this weekend. We went with three other couples (and we met a person who was there on her own and had a great time with her as well). The House is charming, the service is fantastic, the bicycle rides were a little hilly but the scenery is absolutely... More

My girlfriend and I booked The Suite for 3 nights this month as a base from which to dine at the Inn and hike in Shenandoah. We are so glad we did. John and Diane have an attention to detail that makes everything just perfect. On arrival we were greeted at the door by John, where some operators are keen... More

My husband and I love escaping the city to the breathtaking views, spectacular food, and heart-warming hospitality found around Washington, VA. John and Diane are wonderful hosts of the Foster Harris House, where we have enjoyed overnight stays with good wine and a scrumptious breakfast. The Mary Ellen Jenkins room is very cozy with a spacious shower. We've also enjoyed... More
