Special thanks to En Forme | Virginia Publication for calling us the perfect getaway for laid-back luxury❤️ Dropping an excerpt of the article below but let me know if you want a link to read the whole thing. Honestly, they were so thoughtful to convey every. small. detail that I read it and was like, “Whoa! I wanna go stay there!”🤦‍♀️

“At their modern, pet-friendly bed and breakfast, the Thomases welcome adults to experience laid-back luxury and outdoor adventure in the heart of Virginia w**e country.

The experience begins even before guests arrive, with the Thomases sharing a specialized playlist via email to set the mood for their stay.

Guests can awake each morning looking forward to locally roasted coffee from Grit, either served downstairs or, for a small fee, delivered to their room — a little luxury that means someone has gotten up and made a special coffee just the way you like it, then brought it to your door at the time you’ve chosen.

If the thing you love is hiking, rest assured that all your needs will be covered. A row of backpacks hangs on a wall, ready for the taking, and the Thomases even keep niceties such as binoculars on hand. In addition to regular innkeeping duties, the Thomases serve as guides for their guests, curating recommendations based on each visitor’s priorities, whether that’s exploring the area’s award-winning craft beverage scene, epic hiking trails, or charming mountain towns.

One of the most missed activities, according to Stephanie, is grabbing a takeout pizza and watching the sunset off the Blue Ridge Parkway. “Nothing beats it,” she says. “
