The Inn at Westwood Farm was an operating farm in the Robert Dabney Browning family up through the mid 1900's. Mr. Browning's daughter, Mildred Berkeley and her husband Colonel Robert Lee Rodgers, a history instructor at Woodberry Forest School lived on the farm during summer vacation. Since 2004, the owners Elizabeth Goeke & Jay Billie, have worked to reclaim the inns abandoned gardens and are slowly bringing Westwood back to a small working farm. During the growing seasons breakfast includes many ingredients picked from the Inn's gardens.
Concierge service is a signature of the inn. Whether your interests are history, wineries, antiques, art, food, agriculture, running, cycling, hiking or sky diving, we can assist you in planning your activities. Picnic lunches may be arranged for guests so your touring day may continue at a leisurely pace. This bed and breakfast offers far more than a bed and a meal.
The innkeepers have blended antique furniture with contemporary furnishings and art to complement this 1910 farmhouse. The simplicity of the original home is one the owners have worked to maintain while renovating the Inn. The interiors were designed with soft warm colors to instill an ambiance of relaxation and comfort.
Slip into the cool ironed Egyptian cotton sheets and goose down duvet. Read yourself to sleep with a fascinating book on James Madison that you borrowed from the Inn's library. Find a quiet spot in the woods in one of the outside seating areas or on the porch to relax while taking in the fragrance of lavender and rosemary from the surrounding gardens. Afternoon tea, wine and light appetizers are served each day at 4:30pm.
Traditional games of croquet, horseshoes and badminton are available on the property. Benches built for two and Adirondack chairs dot the magnificent landscape and wooded paths. Inn guests may take in the gorgeous sunset over the Blue Ridge Mountains from one of the many outdoor seating areas or during a walk around the property.
Inn at WESTWOOD FARM… a B and B that is the perfect escape from urban stress.
