Museum District Bed & Breakfast

Built in 1922 by Judge Rhea, our stately brick house welcomes you with its spacious two-story porch. Inside, warm yellow walls and dark oak floors lead you through our spacious common rooms—a cozy front parlor, cheerful dining room with crystal chandelier, library with walls of books—all with period architectural details.

In every room, you’ll slide into sleep in smooth, luxurious linens. Stay connected with work or family with WIFI and free calls within the U.S. and Canada.

Step out our front door and you’ll see the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts right across the street, with the Virginia Historical Society just beyond. Walk two more blocks and you’re at Monument Avenue, the only street in the nation designated a national historic landmark

We invite you to let our Museum District Bed & Breakfast be your home away from home.

Location

  • Location is best described as:
    • Museum district
    • City
    • Downtown
  • Directions to property:
    From the north: take I-95 S to exit 78, Boulevard. Take a right on Boulevard and go 1.6 miles – take a right on Grove Avenue (just past the museums) and you’ll see our white picket fence on your left. If you’re not from here, you may need to know that Boulevard is “the” boulevard. It has no other name. Park on the street or see “Parking” below.

    From the south: take I-95 N. As you cross the river, be prepared to merge to the right at exit 74A, onto I-195, the Downtown Expressway. Take the Boulevard exit. Oddly, when you stop at what you’d expect to be Boulevard, it’s not. It’s Robinson. Go ahead and make a right on Robinson and go about four blocks to a left on Grove. In two blocks you’ll pass Boulevard and then you’ll see our white picket fence on the left, across from the museum. Park on the street or see “Parking” below.

    From the west: take I-64 E. At exit 186, merge onto 1-195, the Downtown Expressway. Take the Grove Avenue exit. Oddly, you’ll make three right turns (mimicking a clover-leaf-type circle) to actually get onto Grove Avenue. Go about seven blocks and you’ll see our white picket fence on your right. Park on the street or see “Parking” below.

    From the east: or from the airport: take I-64 W. At exit 190, merge onto 1-195, the Downtown Expressway. Take the Boulevard exit. Oddly, when you stop at what you’d expect to be Boulevard, it’s not. It’s Robinson. Go ahead and make a right on Robinson and go about four blocks to a left on Grove. In two blocks you’ll pass Boulevard and then you’ll see our white picket fence on the left, across from the museum.
