Description
Circa 1791. History was made at this sprawling inn that has hosted many famous people throughout its 300 year history and was the birthplace of President James Madison. Four master suites have all the amenities of the modern world along with antiques reflecting the nature of the home including an 1830 rare Acorn Full Tester Poplar queen bed and an 1885 Cheval Mirror. Walk in the footsteps of great leaders on the original heart pine floors. All guest rooms offer private bathrooms and views of the Rappahannock River and plantation. Breakfast is a modern twist on classic flavors including blueberry oatmeal streusel French toast with port wine poached pears or scallion and cream cheese scrambled eggs with vanilla frozen yogurt and roasted plums and heirloom tomatoes. Join other guests each evening upstairs in the Grand Hallway for a social hour.
