To stay at the Grace Manor Inn is to be transported to a time of Southern hospitality in a gracious Richmond mansion with modern convenience and gourmet breakfast - what could be better?

I was in Richmond moderating a panel discussion and lucky to have been put up at Grace Manor. It was my first time at a B&B and I instantly fell in love. I'm not sure if Dawn and Albert knew, but I took many pictures of the interior so I could show my friends and family how beautiful it was! I have never had a better rainy night all to myself. Amazing food I honestly felt like a princess the next morning. I am looking to return some time in the fall with my boyfriend to enjoy the city. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Several of my family members stayed at the Grace Manor Inn for three days for something of a reunion and to meet my daughter's husband's family. We could not have had a better time. Albert and Dawn are wonderful hosts, as are the Yorkies! Pool was fabulous and I don't have enough superlatives to tell you about the breakfasts. Go there now - we will certainly be back.

My wife and I chose this B&B to stay in as we attended a wedding and reception nearby. What a nice gem in this part of the city. Easily accessible, private and with fantastic Innkeepers, Dawn & Albert. Their 3 terriers were adorable (Teddy was my favorite). We took walks in the morning through the historic region located one-block behind the Inn. The pool was absolutely wonderful to relax to with the nice waterfall feature. I'm typically a big breakfast guy but the gourmet breakfasts were plenty and very delicious. We stayed in the Shortt Suite which is the smaller of the rooms but was perfect for my wife and I. Nicely decorated and also includes a separate sink. It is on the third floor and with the afternoon heat it got stuffy but the evenings were very comfortable with the added fans. The bathroom is smaller as well and was the only thing that disapointed my wife. However, it definitely beat staying in a local hotel that would have cost more with less space. Overall, this is such a wonderful inn made especially pleasant by Dawn & Albert welcoming and friendly demeanor....as well as their dogs!

Our stay at the Grace Manor Inn was a Christmas Gift from our daughter and son-in-law. We love to visit B&B places and have been to many. The Grace Manor has placed high on our list. The rooms were beautifully decorated. The music playing softly in our rooms when we arrived, along with wine and cheese, couldn't have been more relaxing. In fact, we put our feet up, sipped the wine and fell asleep for a short nap before venturing out for the evening. The hospitality and breakfast the next morning were superb.

We had the most fabulous stay at the Grace Manor Inn for our 5th anniversary. We have gone away every year for our anniversary and this year we decided to have an in town getaway. The Grace Manor Inn was the perfect way to celebrate. The new salt water pool was so relaxing, the room was fantastic and the hospitality was beyond compare. To top off the stay the gourmet breakfast Dawn prepared was unlike any other. It left us wishing we could stop by for breakfast every weekend. Our expectations were exceeded around every corner. Dawn and Albert truly have a gift! We will definitely be returning and have already recommended them to our friends and family!

My wife and my stay at the Grace Manor Inn was thoroughly enjoyable. Albert and Dawn were extra ordinarily thoughtful and considerate of their guest. My wife was delighted at the beauty of the inn’s ornate fixtures and furniture. The oversized bed with luxurious linens, bath with claw feet tub and a circular tub shower added a feel of opulence to our visit. The spaciousness and well furnished shared areas provide ample area to relax and enjoy the moment. The balcony and porch overlooking the back yard and pool area provided additional areas to sit and have conversations. The breakfasts were a highlight of our memories of the Grace Manor. The meals were colorful, served with a sense of flair by Albert and tasted GREAT. Dawn’s meals equal gourmet restaurant quality. If you are going to stay in a Bed and Breakfast in Richmond, you should not miss the opportunity to stay at the Grace Manor Inn.

Albert & Dawn went all out in their efforts to pamper my family and I the entire weekend we were here. The gourmet breakfast was to die for, and the presentation was fantastic.

Last night my husband and I stayed at the Grace Manor Inn in Richmond, VA. We were celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary. The stay there was absolutely wonderful. The Inn is an early 1900's house in the fan district in Richmond. The house and its furnishings are beautiful. We had a large bedroom and a sitting room. Much of the furniture is original, the chandeliers, the fireplaces, etc. The hospitality was great even from the three Yorkees who share a part of the house. The restaurant they recommended for dinner was equally good. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend the Grace Manor Inn to anyone visiting Richmond, VA.

This was likely the nicest B&B we have ever visited. The innkeepers were gracious and helpful, the breakfasts were delicious, and the accommodations ample. The home itself is lovely and well-decorated. The attention to detail was obvious from the moment we arrived, and we appreciated the attention the innkeepers paid to our interests and small requests. If you are an older traveler, there are a couple of things to keep in mind when booking: some of the suites are up two flights of stairs, and some of the suites have private restrooms adjacent to them (so you have to step into the hall outside your suite to use the facilities). Also, some of the suites have walk-in showers, while others have clawfoot tubs (which can be a challenge for some). We had a wonderful time, and we greatly appreciated the innkeepers' hospitality and activity suggestions. Our only suggestion would be to provide a large sofa in all of the suites, to ensure guests can truly stretch out and relax at the end of a busy day. We will likely return in the future, and would recommend this B&B to others without hesitation.

We recommend the Grace Manor Inn to anyone who is visiting Richmond and wants a special experience combined with a little history. The suites are beautifully done and comfortably large, breakfast is outstanding, and the hosts are very helpful and friendly. The location in Richmond's Fan district serves as a perfect home base. Our friends who recommended this Inn to us have stayed here three times in the past two years. They are equally impressed. We honestly can't think of any suggestions for improvement--great as is. And we look forward to using the backyard pool that is about to be installed. We'll definitely stay here the next time our travels take us to Richmond.

We loved everything about the Grace Manor Inn. It is located in historic Richmond, close to VCU where my son attends. The grounds are immaculate, the 1910 house has been impeccably restored to reflect that era, and it is gorgeous. We stayed over the old carriage house in a one bedroom apartment which is spacious and decorated in bright colors, modern furniture ... what I would call 21st century art deco with some historic touches. FUN! Dawn and Albert are the consummate hosts, and Dawn is an amazing chef whose breakfasts were always a delightful culinary adventure. We recommend the Grace Manor Inn as highly as is humanly possible. Go. Enjoy Richmond. Be pampered!

What a beautiful, historic bed & breakfast in the Fan district in Richmond. It is meticulously appointed with many of the original fixtures. Although it rained while we were there, the backyard and outdoor patios make for wonderful extended space. Dawn and Albert are gracious hosts, along with their three "boys", Bear, Cocoa and Teddy - 3 lively Yorkies. The best part of the stay, however, is Dawn's delicious gourmet breakfast. I give it five stars! I would definitely stay again.

Even though I was used to their hospitality and professionalism as innkeepers I was again blown away by the breakfasts and attention to detail. As usual all their recommendations for restaurants and places to visit were right on! A place to return to and recommend to anyone who wants that extra special feel of being "pampered". I wish we could do this more often.

Although we live less than two hours away, we had never been to Richmond and didn't know what to expect. We spent two nights at the Grace Manor Inn and couldn't have been more pleased. We stayed in the Fensterer-Davis Suite. We have been to a lot of B&Bs but this place is special. The two-room suite was spacious (good value for the money) and very nicely decorated. It also had an in-room fridge and microwave. The suite included private access to the front balcony overlooking a residential street in the historic neighborhood and shared access to the back balcony overlooking the garden. The only downside was that the private bath was not connected to the suite -- it was a few steps down the hall. The downstairs rooms were incredible -- restored with some very nice touches -- and the gourmet breakfast was great. Albert and Dawn made us feel very welcome. The inn is right in the middle of the Monument Avenue district with its wonderful early 20th century homes and within walking distance of several nice restaurants. We also loved Richmond. There is lots to see --history, architecture, parks -- and we got the feeling that you can enjoy the benefits of city living there without having to endure the crush of people and cars typical of urban areas. We'll definitely return, both to Richmond and to the Grace Manor. Bill & Mary

We spent a weekend at Grace Manor in August - it truly has a manor feel, with all the associated luxuries. The rooms were wonderfully finished, the bed was so comfortable, and the decor seemed plucked from a bygone age. Dawn and Albert (and the dogs!) made us very welcome, and treated us to sumptious breakfasts both mornings of our stay. The finishing touches, both inside and outside, make this house very special. Parking appears secure behind the house, although is somewhat limited. We would recommend this house for anyone seeking a relaxing, hustle-free break in Richmond.

A perfectly appointed mansion in the elegant style of that era in Richmond. The accomodations were luxurious, comfortable and cozy. The inn keepers were delightfully charming and just appeared whenever there was a need. After a very long trip, wine, cheese, coffee or tea and candy provided in our plush sitting room was just what we needed to unwind. We mulled over a very complete book of varied dining places with menus and precise directions but the personal evaluations by Albert were most helpful. Breakfast was a culinary delight to start our day. We certainly would return and stay longer to explore the area.

My husband and I rarely get to get away for long, so when we do, we want the best of the best. Our two-night stay at the Grace Manor Inn recently exceeded all of our expectations. Hospitality comes naturally to innkeepers Dawn and Albert Schik. We were greeted each morning with a special, scrumptious breakfast whipped up by the talented Dawn as Albert shared funny stories of his experiences as an inkeeper. The couple was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. They recommended some terrific restaurants in the area and both of our dinners were fantastic. They even arranged a wine tour of some nearby Charlottesville vineyards for us, complete with driver to take us from place to place. The rooms were clean, neat and well-appointed, as was the entire home. We'd highly recommend the Grace Manor Inn to anyone looking to get away, even if only for a day or two, from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

I can't say enough about the wonderful stay we had at Grace Manor Inn this weekend. The Inn was exquisite, historic, Victorian, decorated superbly! The food was AMAZING!

Their three little Yorkshire Terrier's were adorable too! I highly recommend The Grace Inn to anyone staying in the Richmond area.

It was a pleasant and relaxing stay in this historical home in the Fan District of Richmond. The food was outstanding and the owner's very friendly and accomodating.

This is run by two very professional Inn Keepers/Owners and it shows. They are very attentive and go out of their way to see that you have a pleasant stay. They are computer literate too, and you can see this with their Restaurant Suggestions book for each room and an active computer on the second floor and hard wire connections in each room. One thing I would suggest is that you use the front door upon your arrival.... it is much more impressive. Once you're checked in, you'll park in the back and use the rear entry which brings you through a cute garden area... but the front entry is the way to go for the full visual impact the mansion can offer. The mansion itself is very classic but you don't get that impression when you enter for the fist time via the rear entry. I can't say more about it's owners - you will enjoy your stay.

I HIGHLY recommend the Grace Manor Inn. We visited Richmond to investigate moving there from San Francisco, and the GM Inn gave us a "homey" perspective of the city in a wonderful neighborhood. The grounds (a lovely, private, fenced-in backyard area) were immaculate and cozy. We stayed in the modern "carriage house" (separate from the main house, and has a VERY different feel), which was comfortable, clean, and we really enjoyed the privacy it gave us. The 3-course breakfast is unbelievable!! I was thinking about it all day -- gourmet quality, but light enough that you don't need a nap afterward. Albert and Dawn are young and friendly but leave you to your privacy -- not to mention extremely helpful with "the Fan" neighborhood. For dog lovers, the yorkies are adorable and lovable -- and for non dog-lovers, kept appropriately out of the way if you're not interested. I would absolutely stay there again in my next trip to Richmond.

One moment my wife and I are grinding down Rt 95 on our way home to NY, and minutes later we are standing in a gorgeous 100 yr old home listening to our charming host Albert destribe to us it's fascinating history! We were given a tour through beautiful well appointed spacious rooms, past a kitchen that could only be equiped for a professional chef! Of course the next morning our palettes proved this to be true as we had a glorious breakfast prepared by Alberts spouse Dawn. Continuing our tour Albert led us upstairs to our Suite. Yes Suite! Two very large rooms seperated by a sink and mirror of which some distant relative waxed his handle bar mustache 70 yrs ago. Before Albert left us he reccommened a wonderful Italian Restaurant which we enjoyed very much. Richmond is an interesting and charming city, and we shall return to explore it further, as perhaps you as well as us,have overlooked its potential. After dinner we returned to our room with it's very comfy large bed and watched a little TV which is discretely tucked on a shelf high on the wall and comfortable to watch. I also checked out the books in the Inn which were varied and plentiful. We had a very restful sleep and looked forward to what we knew (based on the meticulious details of the house we had already experienced) a beautiful breakfast.Eight am sharpe we were greeted by Albert and his lovely and talented chef wife Dawn in their turn of the century decorated dining room. The special blended coffee they served along with their three course well presented delicious breadfast puts a major capital on the Breakfast part of "Bed and Breakfast" I suggest you request the "The snack 'n good corn bread" (Dawn I should have asked for another portion) In conclusion the hosts are a young talented nice couple who aim to please!

This inn boldly promises to "Let us Pamper You", and we were not let down. The Grace Manor is a spacious, circa 1910 house located in the heart of Richmond's Fan district, just a block from Monument Avenue, and within easy commuting distance to downtown, the museums, and local battlefield parks. My wife and I stayed 3 nights in the Fensterer-Davis suite, consisting of a large bedroom and an adjoining, equally large and very comfortable sitting room. Our private bath/shower was just down the hall. The public areas on the first floor are a wonder, beautifully apponted in late Victorian style.

Dawn and Albert Schick provided the phone, the computer, the banking advice so that we could accompish our business. They were superb with the more common things one hopes to find at a fine B&B. Things like gourmet breakfasts, welcome wine and cheese, and great rooms. What we remember most is the friendly and gracious attitude of the hosts. Finally, anyone who has left a dog at home can enjoy three great Yorkies. We really could not think of anything more that one could wish for in a B&B. Visit this B&B.

We will certainly put it on our list of places we will return to.

Wonderful innkeepers who hit a perfect balance between friendliness and respect for visitors' privacy. Gorgeous house, delicious gourmet fare AND best of all (for us at least) three energetic and friendly little Yorkies to give us many doggie kisses! (For those who aren't quite as enthusiastic dog lovers, the pups are kept out of the way of guests...) A lovely stay, highly highly recommended. Wish I could post pics, it's a beautiful place. Try the Carriage House for a more private getaway, we really liked it.

My mom, sister's mother-in-law, and I stayed the night at the Grace Manor, specifically in carriage house. It was by far the best weekend in a B&B I have experienced, yet! I've traveled through many B&B's and have never been so comfortable as I was in the Grace Manor. The three course breakfasts with mimosa's and Italian coffee were extravagant. Their special egg's benedict with chive infused hollandaise sauce was by far the most amazing surprise I have experienced

I love this B&B... so much so I hate to even tell everyone about it. But I will. If you are looking for a relaxing get away this is the place. It is quiet, relaxing and in the heart of Richmond, so there is a lot to do. Your Innkeepers go overboard to make it better than home. You will hate to leave. I always do.

My wife and I spent two nights at the Grace Manor, at the beginning of last week. We stayed in the Schott Suite, which is a delightful space to spread out and relax. Dawn and Albert's hospitality reflects that at the time when the manor was in its heyday: they are the hosts, you are their guests and their home is yours to enjoy and to relax in. All in all, a beautiful place to unwind and step back in time.

I was in Richmond to attend my daughter-in-law's baby shower. It was a very busy weekend in Richmond because of the French Film Festival, yet Dawn and Albert, despite being completely booked, greeted us and attended to our needs as if we were their only guests. We stayed in the newly renovated Carriage House, behind the main house in which the decor is Victorian, as one can see from their pictures. The Carriage House is modern, with brightly painted walls and a contemporary feel. We were so impressed with the breakfasts that we asked if my son and daughter-in-law could join us on the last morning of our stay, and Dawn and Albert graciously accommodated them. I am a vegetarian and Dawn accommodated my diet seamlessly--I did not feel as if I was having a "lesser" or "special needs" meal. In fact, I don't think the other guests realized that my meal was any different from theirs. I am trying to stay within the guidelines set for us as reviewers, but I must say, if any B&B deserves hyperbole, this one does.

My wife and I were blown away by the hospitality of Innkeepers Albert and Dawn Schick! We were greeted with a phone call to confirm our arrival time and were met at the gate for an initial tour of the b&b. A bottle of wine and a cheese plate awaited us in our room...this was perfect as it was a long drive for us. Dawn gave us some great tips for late afternoon touring and upon our return we were greeted with the most amazing fresh baked cupcakes. The inn is in a wonderful area, the restuarant options/guide created by Dawn and Albert were superb! Dawn is an amazing cook, her breakfast will be something that I will try to recreate. One of the best B&B experiences we have ever had! Kevin & Michelle

We were impressed with everything at the Grace Manor Inn! The house itself is amazing and well cared for: beautiful garden area, formal common areas that are comfortable and welcoming, immaculate and well-designed suites, second-floor porch (and porch swing!). The inn-keepers, Albert and Dawn, are ideal hosts. Dawn's gourmet 3-course breakfasts were stunning & delicious. Albert graciously introduced us to the house and provided us with maps and guides to Richmond, as well as a meticulously prepared list of recommended restaurants (that included menus and directions). My husband and I are thinking about moving to Richmond, and Dawn and Albert not only took time to talk with us about the city, but they also put us in touch with a great realtor! All in all, our stay was a fun and relaxing experience, and we'll definitely return.

My husband and I have stayed at a number of bed and breakfasts throughout the country and they've all been wonderful but this one by far exceeds them all. Dawn and Albert were extremely hospitable and we felt like our every need was anticipated in advance down to the smallest detail. The breakfasts were elegant and delicious and the house itself was pristine and beautiful and full of history. Their three adorable little Yorkies were simply an added bonus to bring a smile to our faces. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. I can't imagine you would have anything but a wonderful, relaxing, enjoyable time here.

From the moment Albert met us at the door on Friday evening until the moment that Dawn and the Yorkies saw us off on Saturday morning, everything about our stay was first rate. The house is simply gorgeous, and beautifully maintained. The sitting rooms are inviting and comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, and Dawn and Albert (and the Yorkies, of course) were a delight. We look forward to visiting again when it's warm enough to sit out on that lovely deck overlooking the garden!

Dawn and Albert run a beautifully furnished and immaculate inn. We felt very papmpered and the breakfast was truly as amazing as others have described. The place was gorgeous with numerous rooms to enjoy oneself. They left no detail behind, and our only regret was not being able to stay longer to enjoy every aspect of the inn.

Our Children gave us a weekend at the Inn including a surprise 50th wedding celebration there. It was unbelieveable. Everyone enjoyed the location, food and hospitality. It was perfect.... Dawn and Albert really know how to treat their guests and keep a secret.

And the three yorkies are incredibly cute as well. We have stayed at Grace Manor twice, and just love it. It is an amazing house in a great location, a place that just makes you feel good to sit around the huge living rooms and absorb the atmosphere. Dawn and Albert are wonderful hosts, and Dawn makes probably the very best B&B breakfasts we have ever had. They are also very savvy on the Richmond restaurant scene and can point you to some great places. The rooms are beyond spacious, just lovely. We will definitely be back!

My daughter and I have made it an annual event to meet in Richmond for the Holiday Homes Tour. My sister and niece joined us this year. Albert and Dawn were wonderful hosts. They welcomed us and made us feel like we were at our home away from home. We loved their listing of their favorite restaurants. Both we chose turned out to be fabulous! Dawn's breakfasts are exceptional and the presentation is impressive. The Inn is beautiful and spotless. We can't wait to return. We have stayed in other B&B's and this is on the top of our list. We would highly recommend it!

We spent two nights in the Zimmermann suite. This is actually three rooms, a bedroom, sitting room and bathroom. It was extremely comfortable with plenty of space. The breakfasts were delightful - great food beautifully presented. The hosts were both pleasant and extremely helpful. We would recommend this accommodation to everyone.

We stayed three nights in the Shortt Suite. The bed was great and the suite was more than expected. We had an excellent dinner the first night at the Jefferson Hotel(a "5 star" restaurant). Dawn's breakfasts were "6 star" each morning. Albert made you feel as though you were coming home for the holidays. The Inn is beautiful and it is obvious Dawn and Albert are the perfect caretakers for this historic home.

The building is beautiful, furnished appropriately with it's age. The Grace Manor Inn is spotlessly clean. The owner was there for a warm welcome and the wine and cheese plate were a bonus. Breakfast was extraordinary. Can't wait to return.

We recently stayed at the inn for two nights during the week. The house was beautiful and very inviting. Breakfast was excellent and from the moment we arrived the innkeepers were helpful as well as entertaining! Lots of nice area’s to sit outside and still fell secluded. I would recommend this to anyone!

Our party occupied the two suites on the third floor and thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful ambiance. The inkeepers demonstrate superb attention to detail - we were particularly impressed with the book of restaurant recommendations that included their favorites (starred), menus, distance from the inn and complete directions. We've stayed at a lot of B&Bs and have never seen this service before. Our breakfast was elegant and delicious. We consider the Grace Manor Inn to be a great find and will be happy to recommend it to friends.

Grace Manor Inn is at the top of my list when it comes to the best B&B's that I've been to. So many little touches made for a very wonderful and comforting experience. The Shortt suite had beautiful music playing upon our arrival (there is a TV and stereo with some nice CD's in the suite) and the cheeseplate and lemonade from France was a fabulous treat as we listened to the comforting music. The breakfasts were amazing - we felt so pampered (loved the loose leaf tea selection!). There were just so many delightful touches.

We returned from dinner on our first night at the Grace Manor to sit on the porch drinking the wine and eating the cheese (both delicious) that our hosts had kindly provided for us. This is just one example of the attention to detail and thoughtfulness that went into making our stay so enjoyable in this beautiful home, full of original features. The gourmet breakfasts were a special treat - and gave us extra energy for our explorations of the fascinating city of Richmond!

The Grace Manor Inn is a charming bed and breakfast that is clean, neat, and beautiful, with innkeepers who are friendly and more than accomodating. The suites are comfortable and homey. Complimentary cheese and wine awaits your arrival. The homemade breakfasts are gourmet perfection. We also enjoy the resident Yorkies who socialize with their house guests from time to time. All of these things keep us coming back to the Grace Manor Inn for a weekend stay when we're in town. I highly recommend it!

We spent 2 days with Dawn, Albert, Bear, Teddy and Coco last week. This was our second visit and it was just as delightful as the first. The hospitality is first rate; the food is superb; the location is great; the suite is sumptuous. Grace Manor Inn offers museum-quality accommodations. You really must see it to believe it. It is so much more than just a B&B. You will not be disappointed. The innkeepers are delightful people and attend to every detail. Do yourself a favor visit them.

We and our friends stayed at Grace Manor the day after the Virginia State House reopened after renovation and the day before Queen Elizabeth's historic visit there. We got to see the newly restored State House before the crowds arrived for the Queen and we had time to visit several other fascinating places in and around the city. In addition to the Inn's comfort, ambience and fabulous breakfasts, the Schicks gave us wonderful help and guidance that made our visit memorable.

We spent a long weekend in Richmond, VA at the Grace Manor Inn. There are only 3 rooms (suites actually), and the private bath is not en suite (but robes are provided.) The facilities were spacious and very clean and comfortable. The hosts were most helpful in identifying events and destination of interest to us. The breakfasts were outstanding: original, delicious, and displaying considerable thought. Our special dietary needs were managed with elegance. All in all, we recommend Richmond as a weekend (or longer) destination, and believe that the Grace Manor Inn's hospitality, location, and ambiance will add to your enjoyment.

Grace Manor is where I stay whenever I am in Richmond overnight. They are always very hospitable with wine and cheese, and bottled and mineral water in your room on arriaval, plus coffee, port wine and home-made cookies on hand at all times. Help with bags up the stairs is greatly appreciated. The cozy beds, sitting rooms, gormet breakfasts, decor, Yorkies, directions to local restaurants, relaxed atmosphere, and more keep me coming back!
