    Review The Dinsmore House Bed and Breakfast, Charlottesville, VA

    Photo Album

    A full breakfast is offered daily on the glassed-in porch.Dinsmore House guests are invited to an afternoon social everyday, including a complimentary glass of wine, or a cup of tea.
    The Dinsmore House Inn takes its name from the home's architect and builder, James Dinsmore. Perhaps no other person had as much of a hand in shaping the famous presidential homes of Virginia, and the University of Virginia than Dinsmore. This house is a standing testament to his craftsmanship and legacy.

The Dinsmore Room.
    Snowfall at the Inn.A subtle tribute to the University of Virginia, this beautiful room tastefully incorporates the school colors (orange and blue) in its decadent fabrics. A first floor room, The Virginia has a private entrance from Main Street and a king-sized, four poster bed.
    Boasting a private veranda that overlooks the courtyard, the Veranda Room is very popular in the Spring and Fall. Weather permitting, guests may enjoy a private breakfast on the porch, for an additional fee. Did we mention the queen-sized, hand-carved mahogany Victorian bed?The courtyard is a great place to relax in the afternoon.
