    We called about 15 minutes before we arrived to book our room, and the innkeeper was ready and willing to accommodate us on short notice. The inn was beautiful, and the breakfast was amazing! The innkeeper was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to recommend several wonderful dinner choices in town. Everything you could ever want or need is within walking distance! Can't wait to return!

    We had a GREAT Anniversary weekend escape! Carolyn and her husband are outstanding hosts. We enjoyed our discussions as well as the breakfast each morning. A short walk from the B&B will take you throughout downtown. Make sure you visit the Sunspots Studios and watch glass being blown. Also try The Depot for a Great Meal. We will be returning to Choral Gardens!

    We stayed in the Carriage House at the Choral Gardens. This newly restored building was a the perfect place for a romantic getaway. The historic architecture and furishings created a charming atmosphere. The breakfasts each morning were a real treat. The innkeeper was very helpful in assisting with purchasing tickets for the theatre and making dinner reservations. The location was perfect - downtown attractions were all within walking distance. We have stayed in many B & B's and this was one of the best!

    Having traveled the US several times and always staying in traditional hotels, I stepped out of my comfort zone to book in a Bed and Breakfast. Well, if only I had known it was this delightful. Of course, Carolyn and Ralph really went the extra mile in helping me during the huge snowstorm - checking weather reports - making certain I was warm enough. I stayed in the Carriage House on the main property. This is a unique property - offering privacy and alot of history. Everything was comfortable - especially the BED - awesome! I was so impressed with the property and more importantly...with the care and attention to detail of the owners. I live in sunny Florida but believe me...I will be back to this stunning B&B very soon.

    My husband and I were only able to spend one night at this lovely home. The inn keepers were very gracious. We wish that we could have stayed longer. Perhaps we will have another chance in the future. We highly recommend Choral Gardens if you are in the Staunton Area.


Tell the innkeeper that sent you.
