We're delighted to welcome you—not just to our inn, but to our new storytelling space. This blog is an extension of what we love most about running a Bed and Breakfast: sharing meaningful experiences, local gems, and the art of creating a memorable stay. Located in the heart of Richmond’s historic Museum District, our inn is just steps away from the iconic Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA)—a landmark that inspires much of what we do, from aesthetics to hospitality. After years of welcoming guests, hearing their adventures, and sharing special moments around breakfast tables and cozy porches, we’ve decided to put those experiences into words and images for you to enjoy, whether you’re planning a stay or just love discovering charming places and hidden gems.
What You’ll Find Here
This blog is more than just updates from the inn—it’s a guide, a journal, and a celebration of the region we love. We’ll be sharing local experiences, seasonal events, travel inspiration, and must-see spots in the area. You’ll also get a peek into the behind-the-scenes of running a Bed and Breakfast: from breakfast menus and new recipes to guest favorites and our own personal recommendations. Think of it as a living travel guide that highlights the many ways our guests can connect with the spirit of Richmond during their visit.
Why We’re Writing
We believe travel is about connection—not just to a place, but to people and stories. Writing this blog allows us to share the deeper side of hospitality—the slow mornings, the laughter from a returning guest, the joy of discovering a new trail or bakery just around the corner. It’s also our way of giving back to the many people who’ve asked for “more to explore” after checkout. If you’ve ever said, “I wish I had known about that earlier!”—this is for you.
Let’s Explore Together
We’ll be posting regularly with photos, travel tips, and ideas for what to do in and around the area—whether it’s a romantic weekend, a solo recharge, or a family getaway. Have a question or want to request a spotlight on a certain kind of adventure, restaurant, or hidden gem? We’d love to hear from you! This blog is meant to grow with your input and curiosity.
Our Special Connection to the VMFA
The VMFA isn’t just our neighbor—it’s part of our guest experience. With each reservation, we offer VIP tickets to special exhibitions and drink coupons to enjoy inside the museum, so you can explore with comfort and ease. As we feature exhibitions and upcoming events in this blog, we’ll also share tips on how to make the most of your museum visit—whether you're a seasoned art lover or a curious first-timer.
Thank You for Being Here
Whether you’ve stayed with us before or are just dreaming of a future visit, we hope this blog gives you inspiration and insight. Follow along as we highlight the charm, culture, and creativity of Richmond. We invite you to engage, share your stories, and make your next visit to the Museum District even more memorable—with us as your home base.
