I was only able to spend one night at Afton Mountain - my first B&B, but I know I'll be back for more! The location is convenient to the Blue Ridge Parkway, as well as Charlottesville. The price was extremely reasonable for the comfortable bed, terrific hospitality and unbelievable breakfast - croissants topped with fresh, locally grown strawberries. The Ingrahams, along with their dog Bailey, made my short vacation an enjoyable and memorable experience. Hopefully I'll make it back soon!

Our experience echoes all the great reviews on here. We were heading to the Charlottesville area for a wedding and needed a place to stay. The Afton Mtn B&B had the cheapest price, great reviews, and the added benefit of character (compared to the chain motels). We are very pleased with our decision.

Dan and Orquida accommodated our early arrival, gave us a tour, and recommended a GREAT deli/market for lunch (Greenwood Grocery, on 250 @ I-64 exit 107). Our room was comfortable and cool on a 100 degree day. There were numerous lady bugs, beetles and moths in the room. It didn't bother us at all (it's summer, and an old house!) but just a note in case you're a bug-o-phobe. The house is very nicely kept, and the resident K9 is calm and friendly.

Breakfast was very tasty and filling, and the conversation with the other guests was the best part. Wish we could have stayed more than one night, but we'll be back!

We had a very nice stay at the Afton Mountain Bed & Breakfast. Orquida and Dan were very welcoming hosts that made us feel right at home in their beautiful historic home. Breakfast was delicious and we really appreciated the early-morning coffee before breakfast. Our room was very comfortable and had its own bathroom, which was small, but adequate. Also enjoyed the outdoor porch areas for reading and listening to the birds.

The Nelson County area also provides lots of activities which we enjoyed and more dining options than we expected. We especially liked the Blue Mountain Brewery right up the road - very neat place.

For my girlfriend’s birthday, I booked the Goodwin Room for 2 nights as part of a package. It was a surprise weekend away and I have to say that Afton Mountain met and exceeded our expectations. We arrived late after a much longer than anticipated drive from DC and Dan and Orquida, the owners, couldn’t have been nicer or more understanding.

Even though it was dark by the time we arrived, one could tell that the house and grounds were quite charming. Waiting inside the room was a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Orquida’s breakfasts were delicious and the conversations with others who were staying at the Bed and Breakfast were quite interesting.

Since we were close enough to Charlottesville, we spent time at UVA, Monticello and area wineries. They were quite happy to offer suggestions on dinner locations and we ended up seeing both of them at the restaurant that we chose. After dinner, we enjoyed one of the comfortable common areas by relaxing over a game of checkers.

Thank you Dan and Orquida for making our stay such a great experience outside of the hustle and bustle of DC’s Beltway. We have already recommended it to some of our friends!
