In mid-October we visited the Hummingbird Inn for the second time and we will definately be back again. Dan and Patty are amoun the most gracious hosts we have encountered in aur many stays at Bed & Breakfasts across the Commonwealth. They are a wealth of knowledge about the beautiful countryside around them and the many small attractions that one might miss without local knowledge. The Inn is warm and inviting and each room is appointed with furnishings commensurate with the storied history of the Inn. I highly recommend the Hummingbird to anyone who wants to get away for a stay in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. There are so many things to do and see close by for the avid outdoorsman, the wine lover or the antique hunter. Don't miss the Shakespeare playhouse in Staunton or the Historical streets of Lexington where you will find VMI and Washington & Lee University. No matter what you choose to do or not do, (the wrap around porches are a wonderful place to relax and wathc the hummingbirds in season) you will enjoy your stay at the inn.

My wife and I stayed at The Hummingbird Inn in Goshen, VA on October 16th and 17th to celebrate our 25th anniversery. The visit was delightful. An anniversery card from the owners was waiting for us in our room. The grounds were attractive and reflected both good planning and care. The house was historic, well decorated and very clean. The most outstanding part of The Hummingbird Inn was the host and hostess. They were very friendly, gracious and could edgage in stimulating and intellegent conversations with the guests, which came from many parts of the country. They are also good cooks.

The best portion of our September trip through the mountains of VA, WV and NC was our stay at the Hummingbird. In spite of our trip was plagued by bad weather and coming down with a bad cold we had a wonderful time. Our hosts made us feel like house guests of old friends rather than as paying guests. Feeling so much at home and at ease helped me weather my cold while enjoying drives through Goshen Pass, Warm Springs/Hot Springs, and White Sulpher Springs. The Hummingbird Inn will now be one of our favorite destinations.

My first stay in a B&B, The Hummingbird Inn far exceeded my expectations. Beautiful grounds, history, amenities, comfort, warmth, excellent breakfast menus, and [literally] an incredible number of hummingbirds all added to the ambience and enjoyment of my stay. The Innkeepers greeted me with smiles and genuine warmth as they invited me to make myself comfortable and told me that their home was my home...and then didn't waste a minute confirming their sincerity. Truly "memories to last a lifetime," and I look forward to returning, hopefully soon, to relieve them all again. (Oh, and be sure to ask to meet and have your picture taken with Raoul before you leave!)

This was our first experience of B&B and I don't think we will ever find one that will surpass the Humingbird Inn. The Hosts were friendly, the service outstanding, the food to die for, the room was clean with a comfortable bed and the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing.

We recently stayed at the Hummingbird Inn, an historic landmark with beautiful, country furnishings. It is a self-contained, peaceful, and tranquil escape. We didn’t hear any of the usual comings and goings of other guests. Only the sounds of nature and a whistle of the train could be heard, which was just what we needed to relax and unwind. We explored the barn and babbling creek on the property and walked down the road to a local restaurant for dinner. Although the restaurant itself didn’t look like much from the outside, we had an entertaining evening with great live music and extraordinary shrimp, beef brisket, and chicken BBQ. Afterward, we walked back to the Hummingbird Inn and hung out in the den with our two canine companions, also graciously welcomed. There were books and magazines, games, and movies but we mostly just talked to the other guests. In the morning, we brought our coffee out into the sunroom. Breakfast was simply phenomenal, one you always hope for but rarely experience. Before I left, I got a chance to review the scrapbook and regretted I didn’t spend more time with it, as it presented a fascinating history of the B&B and surrounding area. We really didn’t want to leave the paradise we discovered. Although only a fond memory, we will go back again sometime when we need another escape and a little heaven on earth.

My husband and I stayed at the inn in April, 2008, for my 50th birthday. It was one of the most beautiful places we visited. The food was delicious and I also left with several recipes that I am still using today. The countryside was a treat. We did some hiking in nearby Goshen Pass and in the Shenandoah Valley which was lovely. We would love to go back some day.

We were in the area for a horse show and wanted to stay at something other than the run of the mill hotel in Lexington. The Hummingbird was just that! What a wonderful, beautiful place with great hosts! The breakfast was delightful and the bed was the most comfortable with the softest sheets! We definitely will stay again.

My husband and I recently visited the Hummingbird for a "just because" weekend. We were not disappointed! Patty and Dan were absolutely fabulous! My husband and I really enjoyed talking with them. They are very gracious and strive to give personal attention to every detail. The inn and the grounds around it were well-kept, relaxing and peaceful. The bed was very comfortable and the room was cozy and romantic. The food was wonderfully prepared and served by our hosts. It was the perfect antidote for a hectic life! It reminded me of the English inns I have stayed in during my travels in the UK and the down home, southern childhood I cherish! I highly recommend the Hummingbird Inn!

Stayed here on two separate occasions, most recently with Patty and Dan as innkeepers. They are very good at what they do. Both are very friendly, thoughtful and hospitable, and wonderful cooks! The inn is very well-kept and has been updated recently, while retaining its victorian charm. Great place to stay while taking in outdoor activities locally (great mountain biking, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, skiing all within a short distance). Downtown Lexington and some local wineries are also close by.

Recently my husband and I were married at the Hummingbird Inn. We took along with us both sets of parents and our four small children. It was an amazing experience for all.

I do a lot of research when planning a trip and upon finding the Hummingbird Inn website thought it excellent. There was absolutely no disappointment when we arrived. Goshen and Bath county are beautiful areas of Va. and the Hummingbird fits right in. Patty is very welcoming and one is made to feel immediately at home. The rooms are lovely and extremely comfortable. Breakfast is delicious, served at 9, although during our stay one party asked if it was possible to breakfast at 8:30. Our party didn't mind and Patty's response was absolutely; very accommodating. Coffee is available from 7 and there are always cold drinks, snacks (muffins, cookies, brownies, etc.) and candy bowls. Other than the bedrooms there are three rooms for guest use; the den with TV, magazines, books and games; living room; and solarium. Even the dining room was used with a jigsaw puzzle going. The grounds are pretty and well tended with a deck on the Mill Creek next to the old barn, which still houses the bathtub Eleanor Roosevelt used during her stay. A bonus is the trains that go by. It added to the feel of the area. Outings to Warm Springs (Jefferson pools) Lexington, Staunton (Shakespeare Theater and the Wilson Library), Moomaw Lake, Goshen Pass are easy. Unfortunately, last month, even May weather can be tricky and we weren't able to use the inn's wrap around veranda. So we're going to go again next month. Believe the website.

My wife, her sister and I spent two nights with Patti at the Hummingbird Inn. It was our return to the Inn after 11 or 12 years and we were exceedingly pleased with all facets of the Inn. It is comfortable (slept until 8:30 the first morning!!), Patti is an outstanding hostess - and for one so new to the area she is extremely knowledgeable of the area and the local happenings. Goshen is close to Lexington, VA and we used that proximity to visit VMI, Washington and Lee, the George Marshall Museum and toured the city via horse drawn carriage. We rate the Hummingbird 4.5 out of 5 and highly recommend a stay!

My husband and I hadn't been away since August of 2006 and had never been to a bed and breakfast. We could not have picked a better place to have a first experience. Patty and Dan made us feel like friends, not guest. The amenities were fabulous; the grounds enchanting. We spent more time on the deck overlooking the stream than anywhere else. And don’t let Patty kid you – she’s a fabulous cook! We would HIGHLY recommend the Hummingbird Inn and are already making plans to revisit in October.

The Hummingbird Inn was the perfect combination of a lovely house and a beautiful setting. The very immediate setting is nature – the house is in the village-like Goshen, right by a stream with the murmuring of the water by the house’s wooden outside deck. And from Goshen I had easy access to magnificent hiking trails in the nearby Douthat Park on the one hand (there is also the closer Goshen Pass, which I didn’t get to see this time round), and to the charming town of Staunton for walking, dining and enjoying a gem of an old town on the other hand. The innkeepers truly enjoy their profession and making their guests’ time enjoyable. They helped me materialize what I was imagining for my three-day get-away and much more. Warmly recommended!

My fiancee and I went to the Hummingbird Inn because we had been planning on holding our intimate wedding there. We had been looking online for somewhere to hold it and the Hummingbird Inn looked really nice so we went up for the weekend to check the place out. From the moment we arrived Dan and Patty make us feel right at home. They treated us like members of there own family and made sure we had everything we could need or want. We arranged to have dinner there the evening we arrived so we could just stay in and relax. Dinner was wonderful and a good value. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted great. For $50 we both got a fabulous salad, hot bread, all the chicken pot-pie caserole we could eat, hot fudge sundays, and a bottle of wine. That evening we just lounged around the Inn in their cozy rustic den and watched tv as a fire Dan made just for us crackled in the background. The following morning we woke up and went downstairs where we were greated by Patty and Dan, a big simle, and a fabulous big hot breakfast. If you're going to be in the Goshen area and need somewhere to stay or are just looking for a nice getaway, we can't reccomend the Hummingbird Inn enough! We can't wait for our wedding - and for when our guests leave and we have the Inn to ourselves!

A deep tub for a warm soak, comfy bathrobes, fireplaces everywhere, and a family room built in the 1700's with a computer and free wifi! If you decide to have dinner, ask Dan for his famous chocolate bundt cakes...definitely to die for. Can't wait to go back in the Spring!

This was our first stay at a B&B Inn and what a wonderful way to make our first step. The Hummingbird Inn was way off the trodden path in a secluded region of Virginia. It's a great place to reconnect with a loved one or just a place to kick back after a frenzied week. The Alleghany Guest Room was well kept, warm and cozy with a beautiful 4 poster bed - loved it! I have recommended it to my girlfriends to take their hubbies for a get-away without distractions. Also, ask for the directions for the drive along the Goshen Pass. Bring lots of batteries and take tons of pictures while enjoying the picturesque views. Mr. and Mrs. Atila (January 2009)

We stayed for two nights on our way back to DC after Thanksgiving. Dan and Patty were terrific hosts, welcoming us -- and our dog -- with open arms and treating us like family. Nice touches include a fridge in the den with water, beer and sodas round the clock and coffee, tea and cookies in the dining room. The breakfasts were delicious too! It's an easy 30-minute drive to Lexington, but make sure to get directions, as there is a quick way and a "scenic route." We took the scenic route in the daylight, and it's a beautiful drive, but you probably don't want to go that way at night -- very winding and dark with drop-offs on the Lexington-to-Goshen side of the road. We look forward to coming back!

My wife, Ellie, and I decided to share some days in the mountains, when I had to go to the Goshen Scout reservation for the opening of the Booz Allen Hamilton Tech Center. We thought we would try a bed and breakfast, and quickly picked the Hummingbird. Because we liked what we saw in the pictures. And, well, we also very much like the outdoors and hummingbirds. We were welcomed with smiles and special hospitality that all went well beyond "a cozy place to stay." Pam and Dick shared their special, special home with us for two days. Vintage decor. Spotless accomodations. Attention to detail. From great coffee and wi-fi at daybreak to dutch babies and local maple syrup for breakfast - all special, and all shared with warmth and a smile. [Please note, in order to find out what dutch babies are, you will just have to go stay there!] We had a wonderful time. And, oh, yes, we liked watching the real live hummingbirds, too! Gene

Nestled in the small town of Goshen is the Hummingbird Inn. From the first time we met Dick and Pam and entered the Inn itself we have felt at home and pampered.
