I can't say enough good things about the Sugar Tree Inn. My boyfriend and I went for my birthday and stayed two nights. We purchased the wine package and were greeted by Becky and Jeff (the owners) when we arrived with a wine and cheese buffet. The wine was from a local vineyard and the cheese was delicious! Becky and Jeff are wonderfully warm people and incredibly easy to talk to. We stayed in the Blue Ridge room, which is in the furthest out building (a minute's walk to the main house), and I highly recommend it. It was cozy and had a large shower and excellent Aveda products and the bathroom was sparkling. Our room included a large deck with two comfy chairs that looked out on the forest below. We watched the sunset both nights! The bed was extremely comfortable and there was plenty of space to lounge around. We went to Gerdie's (a local country store) for dinner the first night and had pulled pork bbq sandwiches. The patrons and owners of the store could not have been nicer or more hospitable. The next day after delicious omelettes, fruit and fresh muffins we climbed to the top of Crabtree Falls, which is about 20 minutes from the inn. We didn't even need to eat lunch as we were still so full from breakfast. There is also a great vineyard nearby (Rockbridge), which had much better whites than reds, but again the owners could not have been more hospitable. We also saw the world's first wheat reaper, an herb garden, a restored mill and an early 19th century home (all within 15 minutes of the inn.) That evening we dressed up and joined the 14 other guests for an incredible four course dinner (I had quail, a house salad with homemade dressing, a delicious chocolate cake, and chilled peach soup) prepared by their young chef who is going off to cooking school in Cali, which was served along with a wine tasting. We had the privilege of trying four wines from a Charlottesville vinyard, and they were all explained by the vineyard's sales manager who stayed at the inn overnight and answered all of our questions! The next day we awoke to a great buffet brekfast (the sausage was to die for) and headed out to explore Lexington (which is about 30-40 minutes away.) It was a magnificent experience and one I won't soon forget. You must try the Sugar Tree Inn!
