This is an amazing Inn. We are always impressed with the magnificent gounds, the impeccable appointments and the gracious hosts. This is a place that you will remember, as we have for many years. However, this 5-Star Inn has become even better with the addition of Chef Adam. His food and its presentation are breath-taking. You will enjoy his Friday night dinner, but you will never have better food than his six course Saturday night dinner. This is not simply great food this is a dining experience. Everything is made in his kitchen using herbs that he has grown or are from the gounds. The mixture of flavors is grandly unique because Chef Adam creates his own menu. Each course is assembled with amazing beauty and delicious combinations of textures, smells and flavors. Imagine eating incredible food you cannot get anywhere else and you can begin to understand why this is Inn is such a treasure. We will now visit the Inn every year because of Chef Adam's wonderful talent.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at the Inn at Vaucluse Spring, well-rested and well-fed.

The Inn at Vaucluse Spring combines everything we look for in a vacation: a peaceful and beautiful setting, tasty breakfasts and close (very close) access to gourmet dining, comfortable furnishings, and close proximity to many outdoor activities. The Innkeepers, Neil and Barry, along with their wonderful staff, are extremely friendly and welcoming (and funny, to boot!).

There were some nice touches at the Inn that we really appreciated -- cookies and cider in the afternoons, having our room cleaned while we were eating breakfast, complimentary bottled water, access to plenty of materials describing activities nearby.

We opted to have dinner both Friday and Saturday nights at the Inn. The food was absolutely fabulous. The chef has the ability to put a great, unexpected twist on food. I must admit that I will always prefer my Caesar Salad grilled from now on!

We found there to be ample things to do nearby during our 3-night visit. Skyline Drive is about 20 minutes away, so we were able to spend every day leaf-peeping and hiking the trails there. After all that exercise, we really appreciated being able to enjoy a tasty dinner at the Inn.

We stayed in Gabriel's Room in the Cottage on the Hill, which had a jacuzzi tub and a nice little back porch area with chairs in the back. The bed was very comfortable, and it was so nice to be able to sleep in absolute silence. The Cottage on the Hill is right next to the Manor House, which means we had a very short, convenient walk there for breakfasts and dinners. I believe most of the other guests who weren't staying in the Manor House had to drive up for meals.

One thing we wished we had done is explore the grounds of the Inn more. There were so many pretty things to see, and so little time to see it!

If you enjoy a quiet getaway in a beautiful setting with great food, this is the place!

This is one of the best Inns we have ever stayed at. The location is idyllic, with streams, waterfalls, ponds, picturesque buildings, and pleasant walking paths. Breakfast is a three-course affair in the main manor house with truly excellent food. On weekends, five-course Prix fixe dinners are offered in the elegant dining rooms. We arrived mid-week, and asked about dinner. The chef, Adam, was still there preparing the next morning's breakfast. Remarkably, he offered to stay late and prepare us dinner with "whatever he had in the fridge." The result was outstanding! We could not have had a more enjoyable meal in any five-star restaurant. Adam planned, prepared, and served each of the five courses personally to us in the candle-lit main dining room. We could not have had more attention even if we were reviewers from Gourmet magazine!

With regard to accommodations, any of the rooms are good, but we found that the out-buildings are quaint and private. The Chumley House was excellent with two large sitting rooms, kitchen, powder room, screened porch, and a view of the mill pond. The wood-burning fireplace in the common room can be used by guests on cool evenings. Of the two upstairs rooms in this building, we liked the Chumley Suite the best since it faces the pond.

This was my second visit to the Inn. Amazingly in talking to other guests, we find that so many of the guests come back to Vacluse multiple times. Vacluse is in the Vlirginia countryside in a lovely, tranquil setting. The inn has multiple guest houses on the property adding privacy and seclusion if that is desired. This time we came with another couple and stayed upstairs in the two suites in the Chumley House. It was absolutely delightful, and we had use of the entire downstairs too, kitchen, living room, sun room, and porch.

The inn is comfortable and clean furnished simply, not fussy or overdone. The gourmet breakfasts and dinners are outstanding. A major factor that differentiates Vacluse from similiar places is the staff and owners Neil and Barry Myers. The entire staff is extremely competent, very friendly, and they all go out of their way to be helpful to the guests.

Staying at the inn is special. During our stay we found the guests to be in all age groups from their early 20s perhaps to their 80s. Wifi is available in the Manor House. Whether you just want to relax by your fireplace or get out and shop, or hike, or bike, or go to museums and historic sites, caverns, or Skyline drive, you will find something to peak your interest. My advice, don't think twice about this,
go to the Inn at Vacluse Spring.
