  • Joshua Wilton House Inn and Restaurant
    In the summer months the Joshua Wilton House's gardens flourish.
    Our front porch makes for a nice spot to relax and watch the sunset or take in the breath taking mountain views.
    Room 1 overlooks the terrace, patio and gardens. Furnished with a massive walnut bed and armoire, the room features an elegant marble topped vanity. The sitting area includes a Victorian love seat, chair and a Queen Anne desk. The bathroom offers a full tub and shower. This is also one of the three rooms in the house that offers a television.
    Room 2 is the most cozy in the house with it's a beautiful wood-burning fireplace. The room is furnished with a dark cherry handcrafted spiral post bed, a large walnut armoire and dresser. The bathroom features a standing shower. Cozy and intimate, this room is most popular in the winter months.
    Room 3 is bright and cheerful with thanks due to it's large bay window overlooking downtown Main Street. The room is furnished with a large high-back walnut bed, walnut armoire and marble topped dresser and bed-side tables. The bathroom features a standup shower.
    Room 4 is our most requested room. It features a sitting area in the turret and a Queen Anne desk. Decorated with antique rose garden wallpaper and lace window treatments, the room's focal point is a large canopy bed draped in lace that matches the window treatments. The room also has a Victorian armoire and vanity with matching wood heart inlay. The bathroom features a standing shower. Some people call this room our honeymoon room, although we like to think that all of our rooms warrant such a description.
    Room 5 is accented in plum. It is furnished with a high four-poster bed, walnut dresser, cedar chest, and a Queen Anne desk. Two wing chairs invite snuggling in for a good book or conversation. Located on the north side of the house, this room has windows on three sides and a full tub and shower in the bathroom. This is also one of the three rooms in the house that features a television.
    Our dining area consists of five private rooms as well as outside seating on our patio for the warmer months. Our front two rooms have working fireplaces during the winter. We also do have some intimate tables for two that are available upon request.
    Our lounge is a full service bar with specailty beers and an award winning wine list. It features a wood burning fireplace, small bar top seating, and high back leather chairs. For warmer months our lounge connects to our front porch with a view of main street.
    For summer dining we open our patio and terrace. Featuring large market style and individually lit umbrellas, the patio can makes a perfect summer dining retreat.
    The Restaurant offers a unique and exquisite menu that changes some each day and completely with the seasons. We feature food products of many small local farmers who supply our kitchen with high quality ingredients that can not be found elsewhere.
    The Joshua Wilton house can also cater your next event. Call and speak with our catering director today with your questions about on and off site catering.
    Room three is bright and cheery with a wonderful view of historic downtown Harrisonburg.

    Inn's website

    Located in an elegantly restored Queen Anne Victorian, the Joshua Wilton House offers guests an oasis of quiet charm and gracious living in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. The Inn features five non-smoking bedrooms that have been decorated and furnished with beautiful antiques and reproductions. Overnight guests are treated to a sumptuous breakfast that may include homemade pastries, fresh fruits and gourmet coffee. All rooms have one queen size feather top bed, private baths, individually controlled thermostats, clock radios and hair dryers. Luxurious terrycloth robes are provided for your use during your stay. All rooms also have access to a small reading area. We now have small Tv's in room 1, 4, and 5. The Restaurant offers a unique and exquisite á la carte menu that changes with the seasons, along with an award-winning wine list. Featured are the food products of many small local farms who supply our kitchen with high quality ingredients that simply cannot be found elsewhere. Executive Chef Mark Newsome's philosophy of cooking is to present these wonderful products in a fashion that allows their natural goodness to shine through. During the warmer months, seating is available on the outdoor brick patio. Reservations are strongly encouraged, especially on weekends. Smoking is permitted outside only. The restaurant is open from 5:00 PM, Tuesday through Saturday.

    My B&B can't compete with Joshua Wilton.

    January 16, 2010

    I was going to turn my big country farmhouse into a B&B, but when I saw how luxurious JW was, and yet still the price for a room was low, I just gave up, especially when I saw how empty it was during the week. If THEY can't keep their rooms filled unless JMU has a special event, I certainly couldn't.

    Best B&B experience to date!

    November 04, 2008

    Beautiful B&B in lovely, historic town. Loved the architecture, Aveda products and other details. Excellent service and location. Breakfast was amazing- wish we'd eaten dinner there too! We got first-class treatment for a very reasonable price.

    A Night at the Joshua Wilton Inn

    October 03, 2008

    We arrived in the rain at dusk to a grand Victorian - well-lighted & welcoming. Everything from dinner, our room, the service & breakfast was elegant & comfortable. We were sorry we only had one night here.
