  • Guests bringing more than one vehicle should contact the Inn to verify that we have the space for an additional vehicle.

How many guests per room?

  • All rooms are designed for double occupancy with one bed. If you need additional accommodations, please let us know, and we’ll do our best to assist.

Do you have elevators?

  • Due to the historic nature of our buildings, we do not have elevators. If stairs are difficult for you, you may inquire if a first-floor room is available. The Pippin Cottage includes stairs between each floor.

Are there specific policies for group reservations?

  • Four or more room reservations are considered a group and must be booked through our concierge. Groups are subject to the terms of a contract including cancellation policy and performance requirements. In the event that a group of rooms are booked as individual reservations, the hotel reserves the right to require the block of rooms to be subject to the terms and conditions of a contract.

What is your cancellation policy?

  • We require 7 days’ notice prior to your scheduled arrival date in order to avoid a penalty of 50% of your stay or a 1-night charge (whichever is greater) plus tax. No refunds are given for early departures or no-shows. You will be charged the full amount for your stay.

Safety Requirements:

  • No smoking, candles, or flames are allowed anywhere inside the historic Inn.

Other Policies:

  • The Transient Lodging Code of Virginia and all policies apply to all guests regardless of the method of booking or payment.

  • Damages, smoking fees, and any other fees, if any, will be charged to your card on file and are for the actual cost of remediating the situation or damages.

  • Indoor fireplaces are not functional and cannot be used.
