South Court Inn
Adelheid and Mike Osmers welcome you to their Luray, Virginia B&B, South Court Inn, which is chock full of warmth and amenities to leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed.
From the Victorian décor and European bedding to the delectable multi-course breakfast, the Osmers have created a welcoming environment for their guests. Stay in the Turquoise Room with its mountain view or the Golden Room with its African accents. Rest well in the cranberry and gold of the Ruby Room or the understated elegance of the Sapphire Room. If you’d like your getaway to be immersed in lavish privacy, you won’t want to miss the South Court Cottage with its private patio, flatscreen TV, and whirlpool tub.
And what B&B is complete without breakfast? Breakfast begins with coffee set outside your room at 7:00 a.m. A little while later, you’ll be treated to items from the “ever-changing menu.” Indulge in a blueberry muffin or currant cream scone. Delight in a fruit salad, enhanced with lavender-infused honey. Treat your taste buds to banana-stuffed croissant French toast, lemon cloud pancakes, blueberry pancakes, or waffles with apple syrup and bacon. You definitely won’t go hungry at South Court.

Belle Hearth Bed & Breakfast, Waynesboro
“This was our second visit to belle Hearth and Wayne and Linda continue to be B&B experts. We stayed in the Magnolia Suite and the huge room with adjoining extra bedroom was great. Linda goes out of her way to help with any questions a traveler may have, including restaurant recommendations. Breakfast is a classic. Both Wayne and Linda share the duties and the fruit parfait was special. Wayne served a cinnamon French toast which was superb. If you are planning to look at the fall foliage on the Skyline drive or Blue Ridge parkway, Waynesboro is a few minutes from each. Of course the B&B is tops any season of the year.” –Genofred, TripAdvisor Reviewer

Fox Hill Bed & Breakfast, Fairfield, VA
Fox Hill Bed & Breakfast and Cottage Suites is a BBHSV member inn located in Fairfield, Virginia. This 38-acre “country retreat” is nestled in the hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and features a number of onsite activities to renew and refresh you on your brief escape from the real world: “Stroll in the shade along our spring-fed stream as the bluebirds swoop by, feed the goldfish in our two-tier garden pond while listening to the cascading waters, and wander in our lovely gardens. When you are ready for more activity, you can romp in the meadows with your favorite companions…or bring your plane and take advantage of our wide-open spaces and private RC airfield” (FoxHillBB.com).
Curl up and relax in your very own room—The Devon, The Cornwall, or the Merrifield—or cottage suite—the Heron’s Nest, Mountain View, or Fox’s Den—and awake to a three-course gourmet breakfast, which TripAdvisor reviewers have called “scrumptious,” “healthy and delicious,” and “perfect for a long day of activity.”
One of the most popular aspects of Fox Hill is its pet-friendly accommodations. Innkeepers Sue and Mark Erwin love dogs, and they have made their establishment the perfect respite for both you and your furry friends. Hampton Roads Magazine even named Fox Hill as a favorite “doggie destination” in the Shenandoah Valley. For more information about Fox Hill’s pet-friendly activities and requirements, click here.
