Blue Ridge Abbey provides an excellent base for exploring this part of the Blue Ridge. This is a large Victorian home, nicely appointed to imagine time travel to an earlier America. Brooke and Mason were excellent hosts and I plan to return with my wife sometime soon.

Everything about this stay was awesome. The room, bed, and common areas were nicely preserved or of good quality purchase. Bathrooms are modern but somehow fit in just fine. Breakfast was delicious and on time. Host was hospitable and had breakfast with us. Good opportunity to learn the area. Appreciate your hard work!

I rarely leave reviews but this place was too great to not say something. My husband and I stayed at the Blue Ridge Abbey a few days for a wedding. Lovely room and building, delicious and locally sourced breakfast, quiet and wonderful location minutes from the parkway, and a super welcoming and responsive host made for a great experience. Highly recommend this bed and breakfast.
