I've visited Nelson County at least once each year to apple pick and/or tour wineries and breweries. When I decided to stay for a weekend, I selected a place from the many sites online. How wonderful that, with Le Bleu Ridge, what you see is what you get! We stayed for two nights in the Mankin Cottage which allowed us to have the privacy we desired. Not that Danielle and Marcel weren't a complete joy to spend time with. They have wonderful and entertaining stories to tell and the food served for breakfast is superb. We left feeling incredibly spoiled. Le Bleu Ridge is perfectly located on Rt. 151 which is lined with breweries, wineries and restaurants galore. Need a suggestion for sightseeing? Danielle was quick to provide us with maps pointing the way to places like Crabtree Falls - absolutely gorgeous. Spend some time at Le Bleu Ridge - you won't be disappointed!

4.8 out of 5Wonderful Weekend at Le Bleu! Great Food, Great Location!
March 27, 2013
My husband and I stayed at Le Bleu for two nights in early March to go skiing at Wintergreen Resort. Skiing ended up being just another highlight of the weekend! The innkeepers, Danielle and Marcel were so welcoming we felt right at home. The Room (we stayed downstairs in the Blue Room) was clean, fresh, and comfortable. In the morning, Danielle whipped up some delicious muffins and omlettes to get us fed and out the door quickly for skiing. I loved that the eggs were from her neighbor, their "egg lady". We were so full we only had hot chocolate for lunch on the slopes! Wintergreen was an easy 20 minute drive away, and I was glad we got there early in the day before it got busy. In the afternoon after skiing, we decided to check out the local winery that shares a parking lot with Le Beu (can't get more convenient). We enjoyed a wine and cheese tasting there, and then decided to check out Afton Mountain winery 15 minutes away. There were about a dozen wineries within a 15 minute drive. My husband and I used to live in Northern Califonia and frequented the wineries there often. We were impressed with the quality of the Virginia wines we tasted. Saturday evening we went to downtown Charlottesville for dinner (about 25 minute drive), there were a multitude of great restaurants at the "Downtown Mall" - a few blocks of restaurants, shops, and even an ice-skating rink. Sunday morning we awoke to another amazing breakfast cooked by Danielle and "butlered" by Marcel. 3 course breakfast of cheese, Pouched eggs & greens, and apple crepes - YUM. After all that food, we went for a short hike. There were quite a few hiking trails about 10 minute drive from the B&B. For lunch we checked out the local brewery "Devil's Backbone" - great atmosphere, food, and beer. I hope to be back to Le Bleu again soon! Wish I could live there! Thank you Danielle and Marcel for providing a great home base for a very enjoyable weekend!!

What a wonderful B&B! We stayed in the cottage, which was lovely. The breakfasts were amazing, and Danielle and Marcel were so welcoming and friendly. It was fun to have the Flying Fox tasting room right next door, and it's conveniently located to many more wineries and great hikes. Hope to be able to stay here again.

This is our second stay. Wonderful accommodations, food and hospitality. Wait until you taste Danielle’s cooking. Mouthwatering! Conveniently located to many great wineries, breweries and outdoor activities. Beautiful views from your bedroom windows. Will stay again and recommend this inn to others, but not too many since it’s a small inn. John and Jane

My partner and I had an incredible stay at le bleu ridge. Our hosts were exceptional and they even gave us a cooking lesson. The breakfast was one of the best breakfasts that I've had. I couldn't recommend this place more.
5 out of 5A great little b&b that I was going to keep a secret for myself!
February 21, 2013
I couldn't rave more about this place! Super cozy, in a beautiful area, and Danielle makes the BEST food! It's so close to all the wineries/breweries, hiking, skiing, caverns, and Charlottesville! My wife and I went here for our honeymoon and we couldn't have picked a better B&B! Thank you so much Danielle, Marcel, muffin, and mumu! - Amanda Sidenote: This b&b IS LGBT friendly, which I know is a tiptoe subject in rural Virginia. My wife and I felt very comfortable in the area. The host had no problem with it, and lucky for us - neither did any of the other guests!
4.6 out of 5Highly Recommend LBR B&B
February 10, 2013
My girlfriend and I stayed in the Blue Moon Room at LBR B&B, for an early Valentine's Day weekend. We couldn't have imagined any better hosts that Danielle and Marcel. Our intent was to get away from Richmond for a relaxing weekend and that is what we got. We were greeted by Danielle and Marcel, with a plate of chocolate covered strawberries. From there, Danielle gave us the tour of our room and the living room area, which was equipped with HD TV, with satellite, XBox and all the CDs you could ever hope to listen to. It was chilly, so the gas logs in our bedroom really warmed up the place and set a very relaxing atmosphere. We had a great two night stay in the very comfortable queen bed and brand new bathroom. However, what sold the stay was Danielle's gourmet breakfasts. Danielle is working toward her Master's in nutrition and that shown through in the delightful, organic breakfasts that she made us each morning. If you walked away from the breakfast table hungry, then you were doing something wrong. On our next visit back there we want to stay in the cottage. In all, the views, hosts, food and accomodations were very good and we highly recommend a stay.
