There is a king-size bed, a free-standing fireplace, shelves with baskets, and two rocking chairs overlooking the gardens.

    This table is also in the courtyard area.

    Some of our elopements and small weddings are in the courtyard (sometimes using this arbor) and others are in the lower garden. In the Winter, wedding ceremonies are usually in front of the fireplace.

    Our 47th anniversary made special! May 2012

    May 28, 2012

    My husband booked our stay at Choral Gardens as a surprise for me on our anniversary. Carolyn and Ralph were the sweetest people and so helpful in making suggestions about local restaurants and shows. We stayed for 2 nights in the Sunshine Suite...beautifully kept and decorated suite. There were snacks and drinks provided. We had the pleasure of experiencing one of Carolyn's fantastic breakfasts with Ralph as the attentive server. What a wonderful place to be. Thank you Carolyn and Ralph. We can't wait to come back. The McHugh's

    Great Location!

    May 01, 2011

    We called about 15 minutes before we arrived to book our room, and the innkeeper was ready and willing to accommodate us on short notice. The inn was beautiful, and the breakfast was amazing! The innkeeper was very knowledgeable about the area and was able to recommend several wonderful dinner choices in town. Everything you could ever want or need is within walking distance! Can't wait to return!

    Anniversary Escape

    March 25, 2010

    We had a GREAT Anniversary weekend escape! Carolyn and her husband are outstanding hosts. We enjoyed our discussions as well as the breakfast each morning. A short walk from the B&B will take you throughout downtown. Make sure you visit the Sunspots Studios and watch glass being blown. Also try The Depot for a Great Meal. We will be returning to Choral Gardens!

    Lovely B & B, in a perfect location

    January 11, 2010

    We stayed in the Carriage House at the Choral Gardens. This newly restored building was a the perfect place for a romantic getaway. The historic architecture and furishings created a charming atmosphere. The breakfasts each morning were a real treat. The innkeeper was very helpful in assisting with purchasing tickets for the theatre and making dinner reservations. The location was perfect - downtown attractions were all within walking distance. We have stayed in many B & B's and this was one of the best!

    Thinking of reasons to go back to Staunton Choral Gardens

    January 10, 2010

    Having traveled the US several times and always staying in traditional hotels, I stepped out of my comfort zone to book in a Bed and Breakfast. Well, if only I had known it was this delightful. Of course, Carolyn and Ralph really went the extra mile in helping me during the huge snowstorm - checking weather reports - making certain I was warm enough. I stayed in the Carriage House on the main property. This is a unique property - offering privacy and alot of history. Everything was comfortable - especially the BED - awesome! I was so impressed with the property and more importantly...with the care and attention to detail of the owners. I live in sunny Florida but believe me...I will be back to this stunning B&B very soon.

    Charming Hospitality

    November 25, 2009

    My husband and I were only able to spend one night at this lovely home. The inn keepers were very gracious. We wish that we could have stayed longer. Perhaps we will have another chance in the future. We highly recommend Choral Gardens if you are in the Staunton Area.

    Charming, and Pet Friendly, Too

    November 10, 2009

    It’s hard to pick what’s best – the fabulous location… the three course breakfast… or the quaint, historic carriage house where Robert E. Lee’s horse, Traveller, is rumored to have been boarded… but we’d have to say we loved everything about this B&B and, especially, its lovely, hospitable and knowledgeable innkeepers, Carolyn & Ralph. The carriage house where we stayed is just behind the main house and is dog friendly, as is most of the town of Staunton, where shopkeepers welcomed our golden retriever, Oakley. Breakfasts were outstanding, the bed was incredible, and there’s so much to do in and around Staunton from hiking to Shakespeare, fine dining, farmers markets and much, much more.

    Latest Visit Better than Ever!

    June 16, 2009

    Just finished my annual trip to Staunton. My stay at the Staunton Choral Gardens Bed and Breakfast was better than ever. The already beautiful rooms were upgraded with new finish carpentry and paint. (I got the tour from the friendly owners. You can see the improvements on the website now too--I took a look. I love this place!) The grounds and building exterior have also evolved to an even nicer state of appearance. And the breakfast was truly elegant, wholesome and delicious! That wonderful breakfast set me up for a great day!
