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.
