While visiting from Michigan we stayed at the Blue Ridge Abbey for three nights. The property features a stunning 1890s main house with its original interior and a cozy wrap-around porch. We stayed in the old guest house (the carriage house), where our two rooms were exceptionally clean with excellent hot water and water pressure. If you travel with dogs, this is the ultimate spot. While the main house preserves its historic structure, the converted carriage house units are completely pet-friendly. It is the perfect base for exploring the area, including the nearby Paxton House plantation and the beautiful campuses of VMI and Washington & Lee Universities in neighboring Lexington as well as all the other beauty of the Shenandoah valley.

I needed to be in Lexington but all the hotels were booked so I landed on Blue Ridge Abbey. What a lovely surprise. The abbey is the perfect launching point for visiting multiple universities and activities in the vicinity, and enjoying scenic views and an historic home with modern amenities and updates bathrooms in an historic Virginia town. Perfect for mommy time, a girls getaway, a family weekend or a quick stopover on your travels. Daniel was the ideal host. Thank you!
