THE BELLE GRAE
INN is an elegant "city inn" and
bed and breakfast featuring a
fine restaurant and rooms and
suites attractively priced for
both overnight visits and
extended stays. It is located in
the quaint setting of
historic
Staunton, Virginia, in the heart
of the Shenandoah Valley,
approximately two hours from
Washington, D.C.'s Beltway, via
Interstate Highways I-66 and
I-81 South; Richmond, Virginia,
via I-64 West; Roanoke,
Virginia, via I-81 North, and
Lewisburg, West Virginia, via
I-64 East. While vacationing in
the Blue Ridge Mountains you are
close to many of Virginia's
historic attractions. Staunton
is surrounded by vineyards,
which offer tours and tastings.
Within 45 minutes visit the
homes of Madison, Monroe, and
Jefferson. Woodrow Wilson was
born just 7 blocks down
Frederick Street, which now
houses his presidential library.
And prominently featured in
historic Lexington just 30 minutes south are
the homes and museums of Robert E. Lee and
Stonewall Jackson. Follow the old stagecoach
route and stop off at the Buffalo Springs
Herb Garden, Rockbridge Winery, Wade's Mill,
and Cyrus McCormick's Farm where he invented
the reaper.
Historic Staunton is alive
with theater, a community of restored
architecture homes and museums as well as a
"working" marketplace restored back to the
1890's. Antiques, rare books, clever shops
and boutiques,
Shakespeare's theater, and
festivals galore personify historic
Staunton. Belle Grae Inn is a destination .
. . not just a stopover. Staunton homes and
buildings offer an array of architectural
periods-colonial, Georgian, and Greek
revival--and over 2000 Victorian buildings
have been restored to their 1890's-1910
grandeur. The Belle Grae Inn is proud to be
Staunton's exclusive fully restored
Victorian bed and breakfast available to the
traveler for lodging, full service dining,
and complimentary tours.
WE ARE LOOKING forward to
greeting you as you walk through our stained
glass doors. From that moment, you will be
our special guest. The Belle Grae's
carefully restored Victorian decor and
dedication to personal service are designed
to relax and delight you, whether you are
here to dine with us or to stay with us as a
guest at the Inn. The Belle Grae Inn's
tradition of hospitality dates back well
over 100 years. Today's Belle Grae will
hopefully transport you to an era of
elegance you will thoroughly enjoy, while at
the same time offering you the best in
modern amenities and personal service.
