| Virginia Bed and Breakfast Inns
If you don’t live in Virginia, then you are missing out on a lot of history as well as a beautiful state. Even if you do live in Virginia, there are places that may be outside your normal range of travel that you have never had an opportunity to see. There are many beautiful and amazing sights to be seen in the state that tells us “Virginia is for lovers”.
The state of Virginia was named for English Queen Elizabeth I, known even during her lifetime as the Virgin Queen. The first English settlement, however, Jamestown, was named for her nephew who was king after her. This settlement is kept alive in the hearts of Virginians, and is celebrating a 400th anniversary in 2007.
From period actors in full costume (with exciting celebrations to match) to the current archeological dig, Jamestown is just one of the beautiful and historical places to visit on your next trip to Virginia. And what better place to stay for some real southern hospitality than a bed and breakfast, right in Virginia?
History of Virginia Bed and Breakfasts
The state of Virginia has a lot more history than just Jamestown, if you are interested in spreading out. Discover the beautiful old buildings of Gloucester, Virginia and the secrets and stories behind Main Street storefronts, or walk through Abram’s Delight, a stone home in Winchester dating back to 1754, fully restored with period furniture and art. The options are many, and you can see it all from a well placed bed and breakfast in Virginia. The very concept of the bed and breakfast seems so resonant with southern hospitality that it is easy to imagine that the custom was created in the American South. A stranger willingly opens up his or her home to you and your family to care for you during your stay. Compare staying in bed & breakfast accommodations to staying in a hotel in the same area, and you will decide that you’d rather camp on the lawn than be forced to stay in a hotel again! In addition to every comfort and amenity that is offered at high class hotels, enjoy the comfort of coming home to a real house at the end of the day as well as home cooked breakfasts and the chance to get to know a local town from the perspective of a resident. It’s like living with your own tour guide! In addition to the historical sites that you can visit all throughout Virginia, there are museums as well, taking up space in just about every city and just waiting for you to come and see them. If wandering through a cool gallery is more to your taste than traipsing through the dust in search of your ancestors, then a museum is the perfect alternative. Hit a different one every day, and return when you are tired to the comforts of home at your bed and breakfast. If you are worried about the kids being entertained, you shouldn’t be. In addition to the many outdoor activities to try, there are a number of theme parks scattered throughout the state including several zoos, Busch Gardens, Galewinds Amusement Park, Great Waves, Great Wolf Lodge Waterpark, and many more! Your kids will be kept entertained for hours, days, weeks on end if you so choose, and you will have hours and hours of fun as well. Turn the vacation into the retreat that the whole family needs. The longer you are enjoying your time in the sun, the more you will come to appreciate going home to a bed and breakfast instead of a hotel room every night. You will find delight in the comforts that are conveniently laid at your fingertips, like television for you and your family, or books and maps placed about the house and in your room for you to peruse.
Activities at Virginia bed and breakfast inns
So what about those outdoor activities? There are also many trails for biking, hiking, or just wandering through nature for a day. Spend hours fishing on a river or off a boat on the Atlantic, or go ice skating in the winter as well as quality skiing and snowboarding (or tubing for the little ones). In the summer, take to the water on a boat on your own or with a charter, and enjoy the sun. Soak up the warm Virginia summer from the comfort of the beach, or even head underwater to discover a whole new world. With snorkeling, you get to enjoy the water from a surface view, or take a Discover scuba course and hit the water that same day under the guidance of a skilled instructor. Once you are done romping for the day, you will be more than grateful for a soft bed, a kind voice welcoming you back, and a place where you can relax and feel right at home. Get your host’s recommendation for a great local restaurant for dinner, cook your own in their kitchen (most will let you if you ask), or perhaps you will even get lucky enough to be invited to sit down for a nice dinner with your host family. There is so much to see and do in Virginia that you will hardly believe it when your time is up and you are ready to head home again. You will be looking for excuses to come back again soon to stay at another bed and breakfast in Virginia and enjoy the many wonders that this beautiful state has to offer. Virginia is known as a four season state because there is something for everyone no matter what month it is or how the weather looks outside. You can enjoy everything from skiing to tanning on the beach, as well as one of the densest historical areas in the country.
Come stay at one of our fabulous Virginia bed and breakfasts. You will fall in love with the home, the town, and most of all, beautiful Virginia.
