The Inn At the Crossroads
-
The Inn's main porch, where Franklin Roosevelt spoke in 1936.
The bedroom of the Tavernkeeper's Suite. The bedroom was formerly the Tavern for the Inn and this is the room where Teddy Roosevelt dined on several occasions. This room is part of a two-room suite that accomodates up to 4 adults. There is also a huge two-part bathroom. One-half of the bathroom is a two-person spa shower with bench seat which can be closed off completely and privately from the other half of the bathroom which is more like a dressing room with sink and large mirror.
The room used as the Inn's Main Dining Room had a dirt floor from 1820 until 1979. 1954 saw the first non-wood burning heat source at the Inn an American Standard Oil Furnace. 1983 was the first year for private bathrooms for every guest room.
Summer Kitchen Cottage - Summer 2008 2 Story Cottage with first floor living room, housekeeping kitchen with all dinnerwear, untensils, coffee and teas, provided. Second floor has bedroom, beautifully redone bathroom and door out to private deck. Summer Kitchen Cottage is only 50 feet from the Inn and rates include breakfast in the main Inn Dining Room.

Registered as a Virginia historic landmark, the Inn opened in 1820. At one corner a 2300 acre preserve in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, it is a four-story brick building with timber framing and is characteristic of Federal style public houses of that period. Meander among the wild flower gardens, swing under a giant oak or simply sit on the hill and enjoy magnificent panoramic mountain views. Separate from the main building, a two room cottage offers guests that honeymoon-like escape. The cottage was originally the summer kitchen for the Inn. Rural Ridge is a four bedroom cottage at the back of the property, great for larger groups or extended stays.

Beautiful historical inn
5 out of 5Excellent
April 19, 2013
I have returned home from an excellent stay at the Inn at the Crossroads. The setting is quiet and peaceful; a true getaway. Inside the Inn is very clean, intimate, and decorated in true historical fashion. The coffee was made on time and the breakfast was homemade and they used local fruit. I would highly suggest staying here if your in town. Jim was full of information and historical stories and Janet made you feel right at home. We will be back:)
3.2 out of 5Lovely place, excellent location
March 27, 2013
Stayed in the Summer Kitchen cottage which is charming but not for people with wonky hips or knees - very steep steps. We walked up behind the Inn to the gazebo and found one of the more beautiful views of a pastoral landscape to be found in Virginia. The good pizza place across the street is a bonus.
4.2 out of 5Great B&B
February 18, 2013
The Property Managers of the B&B were very attentive and welcoming. The food was great, the ambience was classy. Only negative was due to the thin walls and you could easily hear others in the B&B in the hallways and other rooms on your floor but understandable given age of the B&B. B&B was sold out both nights over the weekend,

5 out of 5A Delightful Little Place
February 13, 2013
I was really impressed by the owners' hospitality, the tidiness of the room, the workmanship of the restoration, and the great price. With food and vineyards within walking distance, there was no need for anything but a pair of comfortable shoes and a walking stick!
4.8 out of 5Fantastic Getaway
February 10, 2013
Jim and Janet are tremendous hosts and went above and beyond to ensure that the planning and execution of the surprise birthday weekend was perfect. Strongly recommend a stay with them in this bucolic relaxing atmosphere, only a few miles from UVA and bustling Charlottesville.
5 out of 5Timeless
January 28, 2013
We stayed in the Summer Kitchen Cottage over MLK weekend and already know that we found our go-to place for a few days away from it all. Once we pulled in, time seemed to stand still. The historic buildings instantly transport one beyond the hustle and bustle of modern life to a few memorable days basking in the languid comfort of southern hospitality. Jim and Janet are the quintessential hosts accommodating every request while effortlessly balancing friendly conversation and sightseeing advice with privacy and discretion. We enjoyed the Inn's comfortable, clean rooms, generous portions of delicious homemade breakfast, convenient proximity to the Blue Ridge Mountains and UNESCO World Heritage sites, and, most of all, the atmosphere of ease in a unique setting. Save us a room for next time, Jim!
