    From the first time we stepped through the door, we felt as if we were at home. The owners, Patty & Dan are wonderful and so sweet! Everything was perfect--the room, the food, the snacks...you name it, and they have thought of it. I hope to return soon!

    The inn is cute, and very clean.The hosts are helpful. The oldest part of the inn is from a cabin from 1759. HOWEVER-Friday night had 5 if not 6 trains hourly-our room was closest to the tracks. Entire room shook and I had earthquake flashbacks. Saturday night only had 2 trains, but the fireplace below us or something had the room so hot that we had to sleep with the door to the hall open. I am feeling very sleep deprived in spite of the wonderful bed and sheets. The toilet does not flush unless you take the lid off and pull the chain, and turning on the shower only diverts half the water. And our door is not lockable when we leave.

    Like staying at Grandmas--if Grandma ran a great bed and breakfast!

    This was our third bed and breakfast experience, and one thing that sets the Hummingbird apart from our previous ones was the amount of personal care from the hosts. You'll notice that many reviews mention "Patti and Dan" by name; that's because they are part of the experience. I’ve stayed at other bed and breakfasts where I had no more interaction with the host than with a hotel front-desk receptionist, and no more interaction with other guests than with strangers in a hotel. Instead, Patti and Dan treat you like family, and one side effect is that all 10 couples bonded like family as well. The other thing the Hummingbird does much better than my other stays is stock the rooms with information. The desk in the front hall has daily print-outs of events going on in the nearby towns, and the rooms have pamphlets for attractions. We purchased a Living Social package that came with extras like theatre tickets and restaurant vouchers; these were waiting for us in an envelope with maps of the area, driving directions, and Patti and Dan's descriptions of various nearby attractions, their hours, and how to get to them. Finally, as many have mentioned, you need to be warned about the trains. The inn is yards away from an active railway line, which means that occasionally a train passes with window-rattling noise. During our two-night stay this happened some 3 or 4 times, of which I think only one was in the middle of the night. For me, that's hardly a deal breaker, but I've seen some reviewers react much more negatively (maybe they're more used to uninterrupted sleep than I am, as a father of two toddlers!). If a 50% chance of being woken up for about 60 seconds in the night is unacceptable for you, you might want to think twice; otherwise, this is a charming, comfortable, hospitable place to relax and indulge in a little low-intensity tourism.

    Dan and Patty are the ultimate hosts of this beautiful inn tucked away in the mountains of Virginia. Sharing a family-style breakfast is the perfect way to start the day in an area replete with so many recreation and arts activities. Having trains pass by so close to the inn might seem like an annoyance, but they actually contribute to the experience and reflect the history of the way. We highly recommend a stay at the Hummingbird Inn and look forward to visiting again.
