 entering a world reminiscent of landed gentry of the past, where grace is more valued than deadlines. The Inn at Hope Springs Farm which lies in the heart of the Blue Ridge in Floyd County, Virginia, just minutes off the Blue Ridge Parkway, wraps you in elegance and seductively takes you out of your world of haste and brings you tenderly into rest, relaxation, and refreshment.
Warm greetings from William and Candace start your retreat from reality in a dreamy direction. Life on the farm is unhurried. There is time and space to sip your complimentary bottle of local wine while sitting on the veranda listening to the birds nesting for the night. An evening walk by the ponds fills your senses with memories of a favorite childhood haunt, or perhaps, your choice is to dream of the future while swinging in the gazebo. Either will help to gear you down to relaxation mode. Then, just before you crawl into bed, a bedtime liqueur and mints tuck you in while serenading frogs whisper goodnight to you and your sweetheart. After your revved up lifestyle has been slowed to idle by southern hospitality at its best, sleep comes naturally on top-of-the-line Serta mattresses dressed in finely tailored linens of 400-800 count. Dreams are sweet.
As the sun rises, songbirds urge you to join their prayer praising God for this glorious day, and breakfast aromas tug you into focus. You’re being reminded that you’re at the Inn at Hope Springs Farm. No deadlines, no responsibilities. Just a little slice of heaven. In the words of guests who became friends, “ . . . it feels like home, it looks magnificent, and Candace and William are like Mom and Dad and long lost friends. The taste of our short stay will linger forever.”
Hope Springs Farm is more than a Virginia bed and breakfast. It is a real working farm with nine dogs, a dozen barn cats, laying hens, alpacas, llamas, old and new barns, pastures, ponds, ancient trees, and abundant wildlife.
Bold, elegantly appointed rooms in warm romantic colors invite you to come in, explore and discover art and antiquity of today and tomorrow.
