Vanquility Acres Inn Bed & Breakfast

A welcoming and very comfortable B&B in a beautiful part of Virginia. A lovely view and excelent breakfasts.

We have been here three times so far and each time is special in a different way.It is awesome here in Spring also.Ellen and Tom have a gift of hospitality that is manifested by warm greetings,funny and entertaining real life stories,mouth-watering big breakfasts and kindness to guests and others they know.The location is perfect-hidden away it seems in the mountains yet close to many attractons and downtown Bedford.We always want to stay months!The rooms are so clean and beautiful and,well,you will have to come and see the rest for yourself!! Mark and Terry from Portsmouth,Va.

We could not have chosen a nicer place to stay while visiting the D Day memorial in Bedford Va. The garden suite was well appointed, very clean and offered a wonderful view. John and Ellen shared our interests in bee keeping, canning and soap making. ( Be sure to get some of Ellen's homemade goat milk soap and John's honey.) A hardy, healthy breakfast was served with a fine sampling of Ellen's jams, jellies, preserves and honey. They would prepare whatever you wanted. We really had a wonderful two day stay. Absolutely recommend these guys. John and Ann from Waterloo, SC

...a home away from home where we could unwind before and after a large family event close by. The rooms are lovely. The food and service excellent. The views outstanding. There are so many things to do in Bedford County, besides visiting family, we were amazed. Thanks to our hosts for making us feel so comfortable.

Our recent two night stay in June 2012 at this lovey B & B was as enjoyable and relaxing as our previous visit in August 2011. As during our first stay, owner & Innkeeper Ellen Everett's breakfasts were delicious with her very special seasonal selections. We highly recommend Vanquility Inn B & B to anyone visiting the Bedford VA area. Rod & Karen

Me and a friend visited Vanquiality Acres Inn for a second time and I must say, again we were impressed. The view, the cleanliness, the rooms, hospitality and breakfast was wonderful. Ellen and John have created with love a beautiful, peaceful place. You definitely get what you came for and more! From goats to bees and chickens, you can purchase Honey, gifts, etc... I highly recommend stay here, you come as a guest and leave as a friend. A tip worth giving, especially when you enjoy a good night's rest! Thank you, Satisfied guests :)

We cannot say enough about our stay at this wonderful B&B. We went there for an anniversary weekend and were not disappointed. We stayed in a spacious but cozy room with a private bath, fireplace and our own private entrance. The views were beautiful, the food absolutely delicious and the hosts were very hospitable and charming. We will definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends.

Have spent my last 9 birthday's with my hubby at Vanquility Acres Inn...John and Ellen have become great friends and we feel like part of their family... The View from the house is amazing and the vanquility suite is like being right at home !!!

Vanquility was very comfortable and the breakfast was hearty and delicious. Ellen and John are gracious guests ready anytime to chat. The view is beautiful and it is only a very short drive from Bedford and Peaks of Otter. We will certainly stay with them again!

Thank you for making our stay with you so enjoyable! We will definitely come back because "we arrived as strangers, but felt like friends when we left". We will gladly recommend it to friends and family. Hope to see you again soon! jncd, Charlotte, NC

Ellen and John were wonderful hosts and our breakfast was awesome! Homemade jellies and apple butter! YUMMY! Sheets and pillows were soft and comfy like being at home! The view was outstanding and relaxing. We can't wait to go back again!!

We were so lucky to happen upon Ellen, John & the goats. Wonderful setting & outstanding breakfasts. Best of the best. We would be sure to return next time we are in the area... J & B from NJ

We highly recommend Vanquility Acres. The Everetts were friendly and hospitable innkeepers. Although we arrived late in the evening, Ellen greeted us warmly and gave us a full tour. We had the entire downstairs suite, which included a kitchenette, bathroom, hot tub, access to an outdoor patio, and multiple beds (perfect for a family or group). The rooms were clean, nicely decorated, and spacious. Ellen had stocked the kitchen with little extras such as hot chocolate, coffee, tea, popcorn, mints, etc. Breakfast was a delicious spread of apple cinnamon french toast, sausage, eggs, fresh fruit, coffee, juice. Outside, Vanquility Acres has a beautiful view of a backyard pond, as well as the stunning Peaks of Otter in the distance. And if you get up early enough, you can see the flock of goats running across the bridge to pasture. Highly recommend Vanquility Acres. You won't be disappointed

My husband and I recently stayed for two nights. Our room was superb with a gorgeous view of the pond and very comfortable. Ellen and John are very gracious hosts and the breakfasts were fantastic. I would recommend Vanquility Acres Inn to anyone.

Vanquility Acres was our first experience at a bed and breakfast. It was a geat experience. From the moment we arrived, Ellen and John made us feel completely at home. Our room was beautifully decorated and met all our needs. The breakfasts were wonderful. We had something completely different and delicious each of the 3 mornings we were there. Ellen's cinnamon raisin bread was great, and we had fresh fruit and juices every morning. The egg dishes were new to us, and each was a great new experience. Their view out the back of their home was the Peaks of Otter and a pond on their property from which another guest caught fish. Ellen and John provided directions to places of interest and recommendations and menus for places to have lunch and dinner.

This was our first visit to Vanquility Acres B&B. We were pleasantly surprised. The mountain views are outstanding! Our room was very spacious and clean. Ellen and John provided welcome tips for site-seeing and restaurants. Ellen is a great cook! The location is close to Bedford and the Blue Ridge Parkway yet far enough to enjoy quite evenings while gazing at the stars. Vanquility's slogan is so true..."we arrived as guests and left as friends"!

We had a wonderful two nights and days at Vanquility. Ellen and John are very charming and gracious. Ellen fixed great breakfasts. They recommended great places for dining and winery recommendations. We loved sitting out on the deck and petting the goats and seeing the rooster and chickens. The view of the Peaks of Otter above their lake was awesome. We feel like we have made two new friends and look forward to visiting again in the future. The Bakers

What a wonderful place to save. This was our first experience of staying at a B&B and we were more than pleasantly surprised. John and Ellen are wonderful hosts and made us feel like family members and right at home. The view from the back is amazing -- with Otters Peaks feeling like they are right in fron of you. John's work with the goats is unbelieveable and this is especially true when he leads them across the bridge over the pond. Fresh eggs from their hens are the hallmark of their breakfasts that are served at 8:30, giving plenty of time to visit downtown Bedford, the wineries, or hike in the mountains. This is definitely an A+ lodging and we would stay there again in the future.

This is the best B&B I've ever stayed at. The hospitality, service, food, location, views, accommodations - everything was excellent.

Stayed at Vanquility Acres for our anniversary weekend. Rooms were clean and quiet. Great view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Great breakfast each morning. Great hospitality. Excellent Bread and Breakfast for families.

We recently stayed here for 2 nights in June. Our room was very clean and spacious. The location was excellent, and we were made to feel at home. The breakfasts were amazing, and we didn't have to worry about eating lunch. Ellen (the owner) is very friendly, and I would recommend this B & B to everyone.

My wife June and I were on a mini-vacation. We wandered down the Blue-ridge Pkwy and finally made it to the little town of BEDFORD VA. where we then made our way to Vanquility Acres. We were welcomed by Ellen, who made us feel at home right away. She showed us our room, which was really a most pleasant surprise. It was a good size, with a sitting room that overlooked a pond and a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mtns. The town of BEDFORD was a short drive, with many fine shops. Most importantly is the D-DAY MEMORIAL is located in the middle, which I was not aware of. We had a great 2-day stay, scrumptious meals, great talks with Ellen, John"EXCELLENT

We really enjoyed our stay here. Ellen and John were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Everything in the home was neat and clean and very warm and cozy. We stayed in the Garden Suite, which has it's own sunroom attached and it overlooked the pond and mountains, it was very nice. If we decide to visit Bedford, VA again, this is most likely where we would stay again.

We recently stayed here during Liberty University graduation weekend. We were looking for a place that would be away from the crowds of Lynchburg and also provide a clean home-like environment to visit with our family during the festivities. Vanquility Acres was a wonderful surprise. The accommodations were beautiful, homey, and spacious. Everything we could have ever needed was provided right down to lighters for the many candles. The grounds were beautiful and my daughter enjoyed going across the lake to see the many goats kept by the innkeepers. This was a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the company of family. We did not opt for meals as we spent much time in Lynchburg; therefore, we are not able to rate the dining. I would definitely return to this place if given the opportunity!

Beautiful location, excellent restaurant a few minutes down the road, friendly family atmosphere. I would highly recommend for families as a base in the area.

What a wonderful getaway. Even though the weather didn't cooperate, everything else was perfect! The room was so comfortable and inviting. The food was outstanding! The innkeepers were wonderful. Can't wait to return again soon!

Finding Vanquility Acres Inn Bed & Breakfast was very easy as per the directions provided. That's always great when you are traveling in an area for the first time. Our stay started with a warm welcome. The room where we stayed was clean and comfortable. Our bath was private as was the entire suite. A kitchenette was in the room, also. The view of the Peaks of Otter from practically every room in the inn was breathtaking. Breakfast each morning offered multiple choices (including fresh eggs gathered right on the property) and each offering being quite delicious. Our innkeeper treated us like family and offered so much helpful information about the town and local attractions. The motto "Where you arrive as a guest and leave as a friend" was truly exemplified. Vanquitlity Acres Inn Bed & Breakfast is a wonderfully pleasant and safe place to spend your vacation.

What a beautiful, peaceful setting. Ellen and John were so welcoming and breakfast was out of this world. We enjoyed dinner at the Liberty Station, a local landmark. Excellent food. Ellen, thanks for the recommendation.

Vanquility Acres Inn Bed & Breakfast has become one of our favorite places to visit. The inn is very comfortable and inviting; not to mention the friendliness of the owners, Ellen and John. The inn is close enough to town and eating locations, but yet far enough out to enjoy the solitude of the mountains and the beautiful setting. I would highly recommend this B & B for all ages.

Very much always enjoy going to Vanquility Acres Inn. The house and view are great and the innkeepers have become great friends. We always enjoy spending time enjoying the outside family "goats" and always look forward to seeing what new amenity the owners will come up with next. Certainly a great home away from home !!

Thank you for your wonderful review. We enjoyed having you and hope you will return again. I am glad the baby goats entertained and amused you all. Look forward to your next stay."Where you arrive as a guest and leave as a friend".

Great place with wonderful surroundings for our family reunion weekend.

"Arrive as guests & leave as friends" is the motto on the business card of Vanquility Acres Inn B&B in the little historic town of Bedford,VA operated by innkeepers Ellen & John Everett....Truer words couldn't be spoken! We chose this place on-line as a stopover on our journey exploring the Blue Ridge Pkwy. (NC, VA) end to end this October for an overnight stay & it proved to be a delightful experience... The rooms were spacious, beautifully & thoughtfully decorated ,squeaky clean & full of wonderful little touches like a personal coffeepot with great coffee, water bottles,a variety of snacks,a small icebox, comfortable pillows & mattress, good lighting for reading or relaxing,comfortable easy chairs & a clean good-sized bathroom with shampoo,bodywashes & makeup removal cloths... Dining at the "family style" table by the woodstove with the lovely expansive views of the mountains & pond was indeed a very warm & "connecting" experience with the other guests & the hosts...The breakfast was very well prepared with a variety of delicious & healthy options, including very fresh eggs from their own laying hens,wonderful juices, fruits, french toast with sauteed fresh apples, homemade (by Ellen ) preserves, freshly baked breads & tasty sausages..I'm sure that if we had stayed longer Ellen would have cooked up more wonderful fare. John regaled us with some funny tales of various adventures he has had , including his honey making (FRESH honey , folks!)..Ellen & John are such warm and personable folks that you truly do feel right at home & very welcome there & can't do enough for your comfort...Truly you do leave as friends! To top it off there is a GREAT reasonably priced restaurant right in town for dinner.. There are some other delightful surprises at this home away from home, but we'll leave it to you to discover! Oksana & Rich Polsley, NY

The rooms are spotless and beautifully furnished. The property is gorgeous, peaceful, and very quiet. My wife and I highly recommend this B&B.

Our visit here was outstanding. Relaxed and entertained... and the food was fantastic. We will try to come here again soon.

Bedford, VA has a jewel of B&B's with Vanquility Acres. It's a great hub for day trips, but best of all are the peaceful surroundings and the large, well-appointed rooms.

We found ourselves surrounded by beauty during our stay at Vanquility Acres Inn. Not only was the natural beauty of the location stunning, but the inner beauty of Ellen and John Everett was captivating. The motto hanging above the patio door reads: "Come as strangers, leave as friends." Ellen and John's hospitality surpassed itself with their capacity to be wise business people, hospitable hosts, and genuinely personable. Highest respect and admiration for them, and wonderful memories I will have for life. Hope we can enjoy their inn again.

We enjoyed our stay - food was outstanding. Rooms were clean and attractive. Hosts were fun and we enjoyed seeing the goats.

This is a sweet house in a charming mountainous location. The rooms are comfortable, attractive, and well-kept. The breakfasts were excellent, and the Everetts were warm and welcoming.

Great price for what you get. Good food and good scenery. Worth the money!

We loved our visit. Beautiful area and lovely wines. Ellen and John are wonderful hosts and the goats are so much fun! We'll definitely be back.

This was at least our 15th stay with Ellen and John. We come twice a year to visit family, and they've become family too! The food and accommodations are always great, but the service is where they really excel!

We enjoyed our stay very much and the hospitality was wonderful. We look forward to returning. This is our vision of an ideal location for an inn!

We stayed in a very well-designed suite that had a sunroom separated by French doors - a perfect setup for parents with a toddler! Breakfast was wonderful, the atmosphere friendly, and we slept very well in the comfy beds and silence of the country.

We appreciated the warm hospitality and great food! Highly recommend this! The scenery and hot tub were great!

Ellen and Jon were wonderful hosts, everything in the inn has been catered for their guests. From little touches in the decor to small amenities in the bathrooms, these innkeepers treat their guests like family. My wife and I recently spent two nights there in April 2010 and loved it, I would recommend this inn to anyone looking for a great getaway at a great value. We hope to come back soon.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful and a beautiful place to stay. The owners are awesome and very friendly.

Overall, it was a great experience! Will recommend to others!

We stayed for our honeymoon and came back 2 years later. This was the most wonderful place and weekend.

This is a very nice bed & breakfast with fabulous views of Sharptop and Flattop. The breakfast is fantastic.

Comfortable & homey. Go out of their way to help plan your stay.

With autumn views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, cool early fall days, Vanquility Inn gave us a perfect place to start climbing those mountains after an excellent breakfast.

View is beautiful Hot tub is great

Our accommodation was so charming, clean, and thoughtfully done. The breakfast was outstanding.

This was a family reunion with children from Texas, South Carolina and other Virginia locations. The delightful environment made our stay very memorable.

Vanquility Acres is home away from home. Much to do & see and the breakfast is spectacular!

Vanquility acres Inn is set in a beautiful semi-rural section of Bedford, VA, about 5 minutes from town. Spotless, great breakfast and a spectacular view of the Peaks of Otter on the Blue ridge parkway. This is a wonderful B&B

First time we had ever been to a Bed and Breakfast and we chose the perfect one, everything was just perfect and Ellen and her husband were so nice and she is a wonderful cook, you can't go wrong staying there, we will go back

What better way to decelerate your weekend than to relax amidst pastoral pleasure framed by nearby mountains? Vanquility Acres B&B punctuates this with gracious hospitality and delicious food!

Ellen and John are wonderful hosts. Everything is clean and comfortable. Breakfast was superb.

A lovely place to stay. Hostess, Ellen, is very hospitable. Her B&B meets all needs.

We found it very relaxing with views. Our hostess is very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast superb abd nutritious. Surroundings are of A1 grade. We will return because of hospitality and spirit renewal.

Everything for the guest at this B&B! Aesthetics, comfort, privacy, and information are some of the goals by the owners. Vanquility inn is great for a night or a month.

The inn keepers are wonderful. They are so friendly and make you feel right at home. The breakfast was outstanding as well! Good home cooking, just like moms. The rooms were perfect, esp. the garden suit with the sun room. The view was just breathe taking! This place is like a hidden retreat where you can get away from everything and just relax. I will make sure me and my family come back real soon. Thank you Ellen and John, thank you!

Very clean, food was absolutely excellent. John & Ellen were extremely hospitable. We relaxed in the hot tub & by the fire. Great hiking around. Perfect place for our first anniversary.

We have visited the Inn many times but this time selected it for an ALL family get away following a wedding. We had a great weekend with John and Ellen cooking out, making a fire, and just relaxing after a wedding. One of the rooms was reserved for our nephew and new bride after the wedding and they had a wonderful night as husband and wife but still was able to spend time "at their leisure" with the gang. Thank you once again John and Ellen for sharing our wonderful Inn with us.

Wonderful B&B. Ellen and John made us feel like family. Beautiful view of pond and mountains.

This was by far the best accommodations we have experienced in all of our travels! The atmosphere was wonderful. Beautiful views, great amenities. SO comfortable and relaxing! Just like home, except no work!

This was such a relaxing getaway with beautiful view of Peaks of Otter, no bugs, no noise other than frogs. Loved it!

The Blue Ridge Room was beautifully decorated and was stocked with everything necessary for a comfortable evening in. The breakfast was plentiful and wonderful. Including home grown condiments and local produce.

We stayed overnight on our way through Bedford. We had a very relaxing stay. Our hosts were helpful in finding a place for dinner. Room was clean, nicely decorated, quiet, and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent! The hosts were great to talk to, and even let us hold one of their baby goats!

We loved it! Beautiful views, awesome rooms...very well supplied! Food was delicious!

Very enjoyable, beautiful place, great hospitality, great food.

Will definitely return again- fabulous everything!

nice stay

Vanquility is a great B&B. The rooms were exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated and warm and cozy. the breakfast was great as well as the hot tub.

Excellent in every single area. We will definitely go back.

Ellen runs a very, very clean and homey B&B. The breakfasts were delicious. She is a charming and delightful hostess!

I'm so impressed with the continued friendliness, hospitality, warm breakfast, and accommodations!! I've been a returning customer for over two years. And- I'll be back!

My family was looking for a place to stay near peaks of Otter Lodge for Thanksgiving. Vanquility Acres was open that day and it was meant to be because i was the perfect getaway from the city. It was quiet, peaceful, relaxing, and clean! Ellen, the owner, was more than accommodating and very friendly. She made everyone feel like family.

Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, this B&B offers mountain views, peace and quiet, friendly hosts, and outstanding facilities. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, check out this B&B!

We will not stay in any other place near Bedford. This B&B is very warm and homelike. The Everetts were great!

The views are great from the back deck. The Inn is very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and other points of interest in this area of Virginia. We will go back to Vanquility in the future.

The hosts John & Ellen were wonderful and made me feel right at home. Ellen though of every possible detail in the room and I loved using the hot tub! Thanks so much for the wonderful food & hospitality. Hope to come back!

We just returned from a stay at the Vanquility Acres Inn Bed and Breakfast in Bedford, VA. We were delighted with the accommodations and service and will definitely make that a favorite stop when we travel south. Ellen is a wonderful hostess with a lovely home so tastefully decorated. They made us feel so at home and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit thanks to their tips and suggestions.

We felt right at home with Ellen and John. They made us feel like we have known them for years. The Bue Ridge room was so bright and clean-- love those ironed sheets!!! There is no view from the Blue Ridge room but it was so nice to open the windows at night and get REAL air. Very quiet.No traffic noise-so relaxing. Close to town and the parkway. We found plenty to do even with cloudy, misty weather.

Whether it is relaxing on the porch or in the hot tub., watching the sun go down over the mountains or using it as a base to explore from, Vanquility Acres Inn has it all. Topped off with a wonderful host and home cooked breakfast. Vanqulity is a must.

Lovely 2 room suite, beautiful view of pond & fields, full breakfast exquisitly prepared. Overall, a memorable visit.

Had a nice stay. Clean & hospitable. Out of town enough to be quiet but close enough to be readily accessible.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Ellen and John at Vanquility Acres Inn. The view of the Peaks of Otter is beautiful... also the pond and the goats! We loved walking along the rural road in the early mornings... easy to get a 3 mile walk under your belt while taking in the rolling hills and grazing cattle. Ellen serves a hearty and delicious breakfast! The water had a sulfur smell which wasn't the greatest but not a deterent for a return visit. Bath towels also had a "stale" (mildew?) smell which could have been from the water. Overall, we were very pleased with our visit and would recommend this B&B to friends and relatives.

Beautiful scenery - excellent service & food preparation.

Beautiful scenery - excellent service & food preparation.

The hospitality of the innkeepers was wonderful. We enjoyed their stories and delicious breakfasts. We will be back again.

Such a relaxing stay with beautiful views of the Blue Ridge, delicious food and comfortable hospitality.

We stayed at the Vanquility Acres Inn for two nights. The Garden Suite was very clean and had a warm and inviting atmosphere. The owner, Ellen Everett, prides herself on providing an outstanding breakfast and meeting your every need. She does indeed provide excellent breakfasts, along with home-made jams and honey and did meet our every need in a very comfortable and friendly manner. The motto of Vanquility Acres Inn is to "arrive as a guest and leave as a friend". We did indeed leave as friends and will be back!!

I stay in a lot of hotels and this was so relaxing and a nice change. I will definately stay here again when in the area.

Ellen and John are the best !!! The stay at Vanquility Acres Inn is ALWAYS the best. The friendliness of Ellen and John is outstanding but the privacy we have while we are there is unmatched anywhere !!! We always enjoy spending "friend" time with them but then retiring to our suite for "our time". The Inn is perfect for a quiet weekend getaway but close enough to Lynchburg for a great meal and night on the town. Thanks Ellen and John.

Our room was perfect. It overlooked the mountains, and the pond. We listened to the geese, while drinking our coffee. The food was excellent, and the innkeepers made us feel at home. It was such a comfortable stay, I recommend it to families and friends

Very nice b&b - we enjoyed our visit. Ellen and John were great hosts. Great views and food. But a strong sulphur odor in water, would be a strong consideration if we were to decide to stay there again.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Sorry about the sulfur smell(it does not harm you)... due to the current dought situation most of the southeast is going thur it is hard to control what happens under ground (as we have a well), this by no means reflects anything that the innkeepers can do to make it better, except pray for rain. Hopeful, next year will be a better year for the water table.

comfy room

I recently stayed at Vanquility Acres Inn and had a fabulous time. The atmosphere was very relaxing, the food was just like moms back home and the inn keepers were very warm and inviting. I will definitely return again...very soon!

Excellent accomodations with great attention to detail - candles, coffee pot in room, homemade soap. The food was wonderful and scenery and goats along with Ellen's warm personality made it memorable.

Thank you for a wonderful, memorable, and unforgettable weekend. I don't think my husband will ever forget his 30th birthday!

Comfortable bed and great breakfast, together with a gracious hostess, has made it an unforgettable stay!

A most enjoyable 3 days. It is beautiful here. We came for a restful time and we succeeded.

Lovely, wonderful time. Will return.

My husband and I recently had the opportunity to spend two nights at Vanquility Acres Inn B & B in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The rooms are large and well appointed, the bed was very comfortable, there is a hot tub, pool table, large deck and a patio with fire pit that face the pond. Breakfast is served family style and included choices for everyone. The homemade fruit syrups and jams were wonderful. The innkeepers, Ellen & John, could not have been nicer. They were very helpful, giving us suggestions on things to do and places to eat in the area and made us feel right at home. We look forward to returning to Vanquility Acres.

It was a pleasure having you here. John and I really appreciate your kind words and hope you come back to see us again. Warm Regards
