If you enjoy history, you will love staying on this wonderful historic estate. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the patio and looking out at the view with the mountains, the excellent breakfast, the friendly staff, and the charming cottage room with a real antique feel in spite of the necessary bathroom addition and very comfortable bed.

Lovely historic property. Sofas need updating as well as some chairs. Bed was very comfortable and linens were excellent. Shower was excellent. Bathroom needs new seat and small table would help beside sink. Overall we would love to return in the fall.

Pictures of property are deceiving. Furniture was worn and sparse, not even a chair to sit in to put shoes on. It was quiet and bed was comfortable enough and the AC worked well. Served the purpose to visit family in nearby Culpeper.

This was our third time staying at the inn. We brought our whole family this time along with our dogs. We had an amazing time. The ambiance is warm and comforting. I can’t say enough about the staff. They were wonderful and friendly and made sure we had a great stay.

Wonderful getaway!
A lovely getaway at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Very relaxing and enjoyable - the staff was beyond accommodating and friendly as well. Dinner at the restaurant was equally as enjoyable. The hostess and Chef made it a wonderful experience and meal. A quiet getaway. We’ll go back.

Charming get away
It is so cute. We stayed in the Rapidan. It was lovely but the bathroom could use some updating. The exterior needs help which is sad because it is both historical and charming. Hopefully they will get an investor to help and make it into a wedding venue to bring in additional money. The staff is beyond helpful and nice. We would stay there again.
