Gorgeously preserved Victorian home with the perfect amount of modern touch where it’s needed. The hosts were so gracious and made sure you were well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend!

Gorgeous, tastefully renovated home to maintain the historic beauty! My fiance and I stayed in the Primrose room that is decorated with floral/rose and blush accents. It had an extremely comfy king bed, luxurious modern bathroom, large TV, and amazing AC! I highly recommend staying at Blue Ridge Abbey since you get to step into the past without sacrificing modern comfort! It is hard to find a true bed and breakfast these days which adds to the charm of this stay. The small city of Buena Vista is quiet and beautiful. You are close to many nearby cities and nature activities which makes the Blue Ridge Abbey the perfect location!

Gluten and dairy free friendly!!!! I’m allergic to gluten and dairy so bed and breakfasts are always bed and apple for me because pancakes and waffles are out of the question. Not here! Everything on the menu can be made gluten and dairy free. Infact the owner and the owners family are gluten and dairy free. Everyone is so kind and the rooms are beautiful. You get the rustic feel with modern amenities! Next time I’m here I will be back for sure.

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.

Spent the weekend here for our daughter’s graduation. The front porch alone was worth the cost of the stay. Enjoyed the beautiful old Victorian.

The location was wonderful. The front porch was perfect for evening cocktail or morning coffee. Beautifully maintained Victorian home with period pieces. Host was attentive and gracious. We rented the whole place and felt like we had stepped back in time. Also, Mounain Roots restaurant and Nick’s family Italian are must eats.

Very helpful and provided extra amenities when needed.

I was in Buena Vista to attend a graduation from SVU. I thought I would spoil myself while there and stay just a few blocks from the school. It was really awesome to stay in a 1903 Victorian house with many of the original furnishings. The host, Daniel, is fantastic. He gave me a tour of the house and was easy to contact for any questions. In addition to my lovely room and modern bathroom, there is a dining room with access to hot drinks or milk and even cereal 24/7. Each morning’s breakfast was homemade deliciousness. And he even made me a breakfast to go- biscuit w/ bacon, egg, cheese- not even on the menu, for when I needed to leave early. There is also an open parlor for visiting as well as a large front porch. I will definitely be staying there again!

Great host, clean, home is beautiful and has plenty of character.

Incredible experience! Host was kind, responsive, and very professional! The room and amenities were amazing! Southern hospitality at its finest!

Meticulously restored Victorian home! It’s worth it, just for the grand staircase! Daniel, our host, was very friendly, professional, and went out of his way to make sure our stay was wonderful!

Charming, peaceful and very comfortable. Live in an exceptionally well maintained 1900 family house with the amenities of a modern hotel. Perfect location for a retreat, a relaxing vacation or a hiking resting hub. The service is most pleasant and accommodating. If I come back to this beautiful area, I would definitely stay here.

We had a great stay at Blue Ridge Abbey! The restored Victorian home retains all the charm of the original home, with updated features (heated bathroom floors!) When you walk through the house, you feel like you are walking back in time. The room we stayed in was much bigger than most we have stayed in, and the bed was very comfortable . Even though we stayed in early March and couldn’t take advantage of it, the wrap around porch looks so inviting to sit and watch the day go by. Maybe next time we stay… We would definitely recommend Blue Ridge Abbey to anyone to any one passing thru or as a destination for a quiet time in a small town.

This perfectly done bed and breakfast is so worth the stay!! The rooms, the whole house, the amenities were beautifully done, and gave us the comfort and luxury we wanted for this Valentines weekend! There was quick morning coffee with a dark roast that I prefer, cereal and milk for the kids, honey for my guy’s coffee, and delightful morning blueberry bread for our last morning. The shower was spacious, clean, and the water was HOT!! Loved it! They provided body wash, shampoo, and conditioner that all smelt so lovely it was like spa day every shower. The drawing room was romantic and made for a wonderful Valentine photo shoot. It was too cool to really enjoy the sprawling front porch, but I can just imagine warm spring evenings with tea and conversation. The whole neighborhood surrounding the abbey is quiet , quaint, and quality! We didn’t get to spend too much time in town, but chose to drive the short 15 minutes to Lexington and enjoyed the art galleries, the cafes, and the restaurants. Definitely stay here!!

Blue ridge abbey was a wonderful bed and breakfast. My boyfriend and i took this trip to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. The room was beautifully decorated, clean and pristine. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was modern and updated. The breakfast was delicious and prompt. I highly recommend this inn for anyone looking to stay in the area! 🌷🌄

Blue Ridge Abbey is a beautifully renovated Victorian home with a welcoming wrap around porch, beautiful furnishings, large comfortable rooms with pristine clean modern bathrooms. The owner, Daniel, greeted us after our late check in, made sure we had everything we needed and was very welcoming to our dog. We enjoyed getting to know him over breakfast. We are excited to return!

Blue Ridge Abbey is a great historic place to stay and we highly recommend it. Daniel is an awesome host and we can’t wait to stay there again.

Very enjoyable stay. Comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was amazing. Host even shared recipe with me. Would highly recommend

Enjoyed a lovely weekend stay here while attending a family wedding; it was perfect! Beautiful accommodations, delicious breakfasts, and conversations with Daniel were awesome.

Wonderful place to stay, relax as it feels like home. Food was amazing!!

The Blue Ridge Abbey B&B is an authentic and charming Victorian home. It has a gorgeous wraparound porch and lovely entranceway. Daniel and Brooke are wonderful, accommodating hosts who provide a scrumptious breakfast and are open to take time with you and answer questions and help in any way they can. The Blue Ridge provides a parlor where one can read, play games or the piano. I was bowled over by the authenticity of the house down to the elegant original wallpaper and transom windows. The Blue Ridge Abbey has a timeless charm and gracious personal attention that you cannot find at generic hotels!

What an absolute gem! We loved everything about our stay at The Blue Ridge Abbey. From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel genuinely welcome, warm, gracious, and just the kind of people who clearly love what they do. The house is spotless and beautifully decorated, full of little details that make it feel special. We stayed in the Foxglove Room, and it was perfect. The bathroom was gorgeous, the floor was even heated, and the mattress was so comfortable that we slept better than we have in ages. And the breakfast… wow. You actually get to choose what you’d like, what time you’d like it, and where you want to eat, in your room, in the dining room, or out on the porch. Every bite was delicious and made with care. We left feeling rested, pampered, and already planning our next visit. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

Wonderful stay! We booked last minute for a night before checking out Natural Bridge State Park and the Safari. The rooms and house are beautiful and we had great hosts, would definitely recommend!

Lovely accommodations with so much charm. Delicious breakfast and delightful conversation with our host. Would highly recommend.

Had my wedding here! Daniel was a phenomenal help and everything was absolutely perfect

The breakfast was healthy and delicious! The town is cute! The region is breathtaking!

Great new bed and breakfast at n historic Buena Vista. Close to Washington and Lee and VMI and blue ridge parkway. Breakfasts were individualized and homemade. Would definitely stay again

This is a beautiful restored home. Our host Daniel was gracious and knowledgeable about the Lexington area. Breakfast was truly wonderful. We truly enjoyed our stay!

We had a great stay at Blue Ridge Abbey! The room was so cute and the house was so beautiful. It was very clean, comfortable, and a short drive from Lexington! Our host, Daniel, was very welcoming!

Daniel was an awesome host. Very attentive. I would like to suggest to him to have a table or shelf in the bathroom to hold toiletries. On arrival a tutorial on the code system for the front door would be helpful. Thanks Daniel, Patti

Mr.Daniel and Mr.Mason and Mrs.Brooke were all so very friendly. The food was excellent and the service was very warm and friendly. The room was amazing and the deep tub and heated floors were a awesome bonus!

Our stay here was wonderful. The rooms are beautiful with wallpapers, the claw foot tub and shower. The heated floors were a fun bonus. The breakfast was excellent. I had the biscuits and gravy, French toast casserole with vanilla bean ice cream. Who knew ice cream was for breakfast? The front porch with the swing is so inviting. Book a stay here. You will not be disappointed.

A very pleasant and unique experience.

We stayed at Blue Ridge Abbey Bed & Breakfast for one night before taking the Shenandoah Valley train. The location was about a 35-minute drive from the station — not the closest, but absolutely worth it! The house is charming, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. The breakfast was delicious and clearly made with care — one of the best we’ve had at a B&B. The service was warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. We wish we could’ve stayed longer to enjoy more of the area. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Lovely stay, fresh breakfast and wonderful accommodations! Heated floors in the bath were awesome! Wonderful host!

While driving the Blue Ridge Parkway, we got to the late afternoon and began searching for a clean, safe place for the night. We were very fortunate to find the Blue Ridge Abbey which went far above our expectations. Large, comfortable, extremely clean room and amazing breakfast with very personable hosts. Thanks Daniel and Mason. We will return soon.
