Stone Gables Bed-and-Breakfast
Nestled in a restorative woodsy setting on a winding quiet gravel road, this property is in the heart of rolling wine country. Though close to Leesburg, the historic 1820s adult-only property is tucked away, ensuring a nature-rich sanctuary replete with birdlife.
The cozy gabled guesthouse occupies an old dairy and hay barn and brims with lovingly preserved features such as fireplaces and exposed wooden beams. Four suites with décor paying homage to the tradition of foxhunting and the equestrian lifestyle afford an idyllic base to take in the surrounding area. 19077 Loudoun Orchard Rd., Leesburg
Welbourne
Go back in time as you enter Welbourne, circa 1775, a regal property managed by the same family for eight generations. The property boasts a boutique inn and working farm where racehorses come to retire. A storied Virginia Historic Landmark, the elegant federalist style property is also on the National Register of Historic Places, offering five main guest rooms, one of which was a favorite of F. Scott Fitzgerald.
When able, the innkeepers join guests for pre-dinner cocktails. In keeping with the mission, the property rewards those boarding retired racehorses with one free night per year at the inn. 22314 Welbourne Farm Ln., Middleburg
Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast Inn
This quaint 1805-era bed-and-breakfast — which welcomes children and pets — evokes the comforts of yesteryear. With classic country quilts, embroidered shams, and four-poster beds, the beloved eight-room Briar Patch honors the past.
Head to posh Middleburg for fine dining and shopping, a mere 4 miles from the property which sits on a Civil War site. Or visit the area’s Chrysalis Vineyards at the Ag District — just across the road from the inn. Whether you’re on a couple’s getaway and have booked the private cottage, gathered with family, or attending a wedding, the property begs you to slow down, explore the area, and make memories. 23130 Briar Patch Ln., Middleburg
