I am sure that the restaurant here is worthy of the excellent reviews. Our breakfast was served swiftly by the owner and Chef. It was fresh and delicious. The dining room is quaint and historic looking. Unfortunately, the room we stayed in was not as charming. There was a mildew and musty smell. The furnishings were old and tattered. They... More 

We were in the area visiting family and hoping for a clean, basic hotel room. What we found was so much more. The Lafayette Inn is an absolute gem nestled in the quaint town of Stanardsville VA. Our room, the Wilson, was spacious by hotel standards, with comfortable sleeping, living and bath areas. It had a warm, well restored, late... More 

The room was very nice, but the bathroom was not! Due to poor shower design, there was standing water and black mold along the bottom of the shower. When we sent feedback, as requested, our comments were ignored.

My husband and I spent 2 wonderful days/night at The Lafayette Inn & Restaurant, indulging in a 10 course tasting and wine paring dinner & and since we couldn't resist Alan's cooking skills, another delicious dinner the next day. We enjoyed every minute, and are impressed by the friendliness of the owners and staff! With plenty of things to do... More 

We were spending two days hiking in Shenandoah National Park and decided to stay here for the night. It is close to the Swift Run Gap entrance to the park.

You can choose an alternative of... More 

Stayed in Taylor room--perfect for our family: kids in one room, parents in the other--with doors for peace and quiet! Comfortable accomadations, spacious room Fantastic restaurant--had a great dinner and complimentary breakfast the next day (omelettes, french toast, etc)

Unique stay at the 1840s hotel. What is most interesting about this building is that it is about 80% original. The staff is very friendly. The room is large with a sitting area. The restaurant is excellent and the chef is very friendly and interacts with the patrons. This is a unique place to stay and dine.
