The William Miller House


  • Enjoy the parlor, especially on a cold and chilly winter evening in front of the fire place. Just inside the front door, the parlor sets the stage for the rest of our bed and breakfast accomodations.

    We were greeted like family when we first arrived. Wine and conversation on the front porch in the evening and a bountiful breakfast in the morning. Mike's breakfasts are to be experienced. Pat's ease of conversation makes you feel like you've known her for a long time. This is the place to stay in Richmond, VA.

    The fan district is so full of history and beauty, it can compete with anything Savannah or Charleston have to offer. Staying in the midst of the Fan District at the William Miller House just makes the holiday more special. The innkeepers, Mike and Pat, are so accommodating and such gracious hosts. The breakfasts are really works of art served on fine china with sterling silverware. You only have to ask and its yours. One of our friends is on a gluten free diet so she informed the Chef Mike. Presto, he made special breads, scones, and other dishes that met her dietary needs. And they were all delicious as I did taste them. The "June Bug" was magical. Never did I imagine that basil could taste so good and look so elegant. Just can't say enough good things about the Inn. Wonderful ambience, gracious living, and delightful hosts. Don't miss it.

    We stayed here for one night in April. The attention to every detail was spot on. From the chocolates on the bed, the mineral water chilling and snacks to eat in between times. Pat and Mike were so friendly and helpful. Their dinner suggestion was great. Pat also suggested a restaurant in New York which was great. Best B and B we have stayed out. Thanks.!!!


    What a treat!!

    The exquisite attention to detail in the decoration of the inn and the beautiful holiday ornamentation were only surpassed by the warmth and hospitality of the inn keepers, Pat and Mike. We thoroughly enjoyed the tasty, beautifully presented breakfast and the helpful information about Richmond. Definitely will go back...soon.

    Elegant, comfortable, historic, conveniently located and supremely hospitable... who could (or would) ask for anything more? On day one we began our scheming for a return visit... partly to visit Richmond, largely to be the recipients of Pat and Mike's gracious accomodations, cuisine and all-around great hosting.
