“Wonderful Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

We went to Killahevlin for the first time in 2011 for our "minimoon" and returned this past weekend for a night for our anniversary. We stayed in The White Room both times and it was just enchanting. The breakfast is TO DIE FOR and the tea is excellent. The tiny pub is fabulous and perfect for a quick pre-dinner drink or apertiff. The decor really makes you feel like you have been transported to the Old Country. Tom and Kathy are accomodating and kind and helpful. For dinner, try Jalisco's (Mexican) or Apt. 2G! Can't wait to visit again!

“Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

A perfect overnight stay on New Year's Eve, to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary, accompanied by two other couples, our Dear friends! Clean, comfortable, hospitable above and beyond, welcoming, and the "icing on the cake" was an over the top, delicious and copious breakfast! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

“Cool Tower Rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

The place is a great B and B. We had the tower rooms. They aren't too cool with kids but we had our boys out of the way in the tower. Our boys enjoyed the small room at the top. Breakfast was a treat and nicely presented. It's a convenient location for visiting the Shenandoah valley and the Skyline.

“Get the Raspberry Room!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 15, 2012

We three, shall I just say mature, ladies enjoyed our stay in December 2012 immensely. We had gone to "look over" Killahelvlin in the fall and decided immedately that ti was the place to stay while being in Front Royal to visit our dear friend. When we told Tom, the innkeeper, that we would be a party of 3 he showed us the beautiful Raspberry Room and bath which accommodates a roll-way bed with plenty of room to spare and we put a booking on it immediately in our heads. Then he showed us the cozy bar downstairs and it was a wrap! Sherry in front of the fireplace on the beautiful settee in the room is a great way to settle in for the night. What a great breakfast room and breakfast too!

Room Tip: The Raspberry Room and bath are both very large.

“Great place to stay for our first visit to Shenandoah”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to spend a special, long weekend to celebrate a major event in our lives. We wanted someplace nearby (She lives in Wilmington, DE) so we could take the motorcycle along. We decided on Front Royal due to it's proximity to us (about 3 hours), Shenandoah National Park, and of course Skyline Drive. The Innkeepers were very accomodating, and ready with directions to the park, the local wineries, and suggestions for dining at local restaurants (By the way, "Apartment 2g" is fantastic!) The food at the Inn was very good and plentiful, and the "on-site" pub was a nice plus, although we only used it one night. We stayed in the Jade Tree Suite in the Tower House, and it was wonderful (wish it had been cool enough to use the fireplace). This was a really great place to spend our special weekend away, and we plan to return next year - perhaps this time our schedules will permit us to make it in time for foliage season :) Thanks again!

Room Tip: We stayed in the Tower House, which has suites. The other guests in the main house told us that the...
