Grace Manor was built in 1910 by William Zimmermann as his wife Louise’s “dream house”. The workmanship, detailing and materials throughout the house reflect the fashionable lifestyle enjoyed in the West Grace Street and Monument Avenue neighborhoods at the turn of the century. The Schicks purchased the house in 2003 and converted it to a Bed and Breakfast. Grace Manor Inn has 3 large guest suites with private baths, a business center, a formal dining room, a sunroom, and three formal parlours. Each day begins with a multi-course, gourmet breakfast accompanied by your choice of gourmet, loose teas or LavAzza coffee. The Inn also has three resident Yorkie mascots who are anxious to welcome you!

April 16, 2013
We stayed three nights at the Grace Manor Inn and loved it! Very clean (thank you, Nora), amazing gourmet breakfasts, and Albert was a gracious host, very helpful and accommodating (we didn't see much of Dawn as she was busy with the cupcake shop). The location is great, with off street parking a plus. The pool and garden area were beautiful and relaxing. My husband has a bad back and the bed in the Shortt Suite was super comfortable. Although the Victorian inn is elegantly decorated, it offers a nice informal atmosphere. Great to have a microwave and mini fridge in the room. WiFi worked great, too. Just know when you're booking that none of the rooms in the house have ensuite bathrooms - they are private, but outside your suite (bathrobes are provided, but they don't necessarily fit all guests). While we knew the Shortt Suite bathroom was small (which was not a problem), the light (especially) and ventilation were lacking. One other small quirk was that the sink in the sitting room of the suite (great feature because of lack of light in bathroom) was pretty much useless - barely a trickle. There is central air that worked very well, plus a few fans in our suite, so the temperature was always comfortable. Also, the Shortt Suite is on the top floor - no elevator, stairs only - which was not a problem for us, but just a heads up. We loved the Grace Manor Inn and the warm hospitality of our hosts. Would definitely stay here again when we return to Richmond.

We stayed in the Carriage House; very private with a full kitchen. Modern design, unlike the Inn, and very roomy. We had dinner one night on the balcony overlooking the gardens and pool-lovely. Breakfast was fabulous and the Yorkies are adorable!!

5 out of 5Great Weekend Getaway!
March 12, 2013
My boyfriend and I stayed in the Carriage house two nights and absolutely loved it! I live in Indiana and he lives in North Carolina so this was an opportunity to spend some much needed one-on-one time together. The house is beautiful and very close to many of the main streets and restaurants. Albert gave us a map right when we arrived and marked all of the popular tourist spots on it for us. We were able to tour the House of the Confederacy (Excellent!), walk down Monument Avenue, visit their cupcake shop (Carytown Cupcakes; Yum!) in Carytown, drive along the James river, and eat at some very nice restaurants. The best food we ate during our visit was definitely breakfast cooked by Albert and Dawn! Delicious! If I visit Richmond again, I will definitely be staying at the Grace Manor Inn. Thank you Albert and Dawn for a wonderful weekend!
5 out of 5Elegant AND Comfortable
March 03, 2013
The house is wonderfully appointed. You could spend a couple days just checking out the artwork, furniture, and other pieces throughout the house. Albert does it all and is a great breakfast chef. Our visit was in early March, so it was too early to use the pool, but it was clean and open for use. Come July and August, the pool would've been a welcome feature on top of what we enjoyed. Our private suite was equally well-appointed. A very comfortable queen sized bed, a vanity sink between the bedroom and a large reading/sitting room with enough books for several summers, and a bathroom with a bath tub and shower.
5 out of 5Presidents' Day Weekend Trip
February 18, 2013
Stayed here over Presidents' Day Weekend 2013 after purchasing a voucher on Livingsocial. We had a great weekend here. The Inn is well-located in Richmond, within walking distance of Monument Avenue and a number of good restaurants. It was also within a quick driving time to Carytown and downtown Richmond. The manager was very knowledgeable about local restaurants and gave good advice for where to get dinner when we checked in relatively late on Friday. The Inn itself is beautiful with several well-furnished common spaces in what I took to be a fin-de-siecle style and an attractive backyard. We would have gone for a swim in the pool if it hadn't been February - I'm sure in the summer it's a great benefit to have an inviting pool so close by. Breakfasts were delicious and ended with a cupcake from Carrytown Cupcakes. We can't recommend Carrytown Cupcakes enough, and having them at the end of breakfast was unusual but highly appreciated. Our Livingsocial voucher came with two free Carrytown Cupcakes, so we got a lot of effective free advertising. (The manager's wife owns the Cupcake store, so that helps explain the cross-marketing.) Our voucher also came with free tickets to the Museum of the Confederacy, which is an attraction worth visiting. While we stayed there, we also visited the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, which is close and has an excellent permanent collection. The owners have three Yorkies, but I didn't hear anything out of them while we were in the main inn, and in fact they stayed out of the common areas entirely so far as I could tell. Overall, highly recommended. We will stay there again when we get a chance to come back to Richmond and stay in the city, and we will recommend it to our acquaintances in the area, as well.
