Mornings

Start your morning here

A complimentary grab-and-go breakfast is set out every morning from 7:00 to 9:00 AM, alongside fresh coffee and a wall of loose teas.

Sit down with a mug and watch the light come up over the river, or take the whole thing with you — it’s built for guests who want to be on the trail before the day warms up.

The Inn Market shopette — cooler with drinks and shelves of snacks

Any hour

The Inn Market

Our little shopette by the breakfast area keeps cold drinks, water, and snacks — granola, chips, nuts, candy, and local Virginia goods — stocked for whenever hunger hits. Handy for packing a trail lunch or grabbing something after the kitchen lights in town have gone out.

The setting

A one-of-a-kind setting

You can get a room anywhere. You can’t get this porch, this river, or this building anywhere else.
