THE 1804 INN & COTTAGES | BARBOURSVILLE
Ideal for the enophiles, Virginia’s award-winning Barboursville Vineyards also is home to a beautiful inn and cottages, which are a grape’s throw from the tasting room, Palladio Restaurant, Library 1821 and wine production facility. Accommodations include three suites in grand Georgian-style inn, such as the Octagon Suite with a private garden and balcony overlooking the manicured property and ruins of Governor Barbor's mansion. Or rent out one of the quaint cottages, like the Sangiovese Cottage, a two-bedroom with small kitchen. Spend your weekend strolling the vineyard, sipping wine and enjoying fine dining. Head to the nearby town of Gordonsville, for lunch at the delicious Barbecue Exchange and shopping along quaint Main Street. Or if you are feeling adventurous, take a scenic country drive to Montpelier to visit James Madison’s historic home or Charlottesville and explore the downtown mall.
A BLUE RIDGE CABIN | MEADOWS OF DAN
Located off meandering Route 58 in Meadows of Dan among a little cluster of rustic cabins, this quaint one-bedroom-plus-loft cottage is beautifully decorated in rustic furniture and includes a full kitchen, bathroom, and living and dining area. Stock up on food ahead of time to make a romantic dinner in the cabin or take a star-lit walk down the road to the Crooked Road Cafe and split a bottle of wine and pizza. While you may feel off the grid, the cabin has Internet access and satellite so you can cuddle up in front of the fire to watch a movie. During the day, grab sandwiches at Poor Farmers Market and take a drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway to visit historic Mabry Mill, Chateau Morrisette Winery, and take hike on one of the parkway’s many trails.PEAKS OF OTTER LODGE | BEDFORD
