Inn Details
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, minutes from Shenandoah National Park and just steps from the world-renowned Inn at Little Washington, the Foster Harris House offers comfortable, refined accommodations in an enchanting country setting. Each of the inn’s five guest rooms has exquisitely soft linens, spa robes, and a private bath with a rainfall shower. Most guest rooms are accented with cozy free-standing stoves and offer expansive views of the perennial gardens, meadows, and surrounding mountains. Breakfast at the Foster Harris House is a lavish, unhurried four-course meal. In the evening, indulge in a glass of wine while basking in spectacular sunsets from the garden or spend crisp evenings relaxing with a glass of port by the warm glow of the living room fire.

After one night in the suite here, I thought about selling everything I owned and moving in. I am still thinking about it. John and Diane are lovely, friendly and welcoming folks who truly make you feel at home. If your home was a lovely country manor with a beautiful view out the window, overlooking a well maintained garden and rolling hill, followed by an amazing 5 star 4 course breakfast. Stella the dog was an added draw. This place is lovely, so well maintained, the pride of the owners really shows, it is the closest thing to paradise I have found within hours of DC. I plan to go back here time and time again, this is by far the nicest B & B I have ever been to.

We love the Foster Harris House! We have been coming here every year at Thanksgiving for the past 5 years just in order to receive the "royal treatment". Although the food, the hospitality and idyllic location alone make the Foster Harris House a must do on the B&B enthusiasts' list, John and Diane MacPherson make the extra effort to ensure that their guests feel 'at home' in their home. And yet, they seem to do it effortlessly. We always feel completely welcomed and know that our time here will be thoroughly enjoyable. What a treat to get away from life's general mayhem and, at least for a day or two, be spoiled rotten!¿David and Richard
Perfect!

The Foster Harris House was lovely, clean, perfectly situated in the town. the owners, John and Diane were friendly and offered more amenities than we thought. The 4-course breakfast was enough to make you return to the inn. We will be back!

My husband and I celebrated our 44th Wedding Anniversary were extremely pleased with the warmth and welcoming we received from Diane and John. Our two evening stay was just what we had hoped for. We enjoyed all the amenities including a bicycle ride and walks on the Blue Ridge. We were close to fine dining which we thoroughly enjoyed. Our guest rooms and breakfast were a wonderful treat and we'll return.

My husband and I planned a long weekend in Washington, mostly for the great biking, Civil War battlesites and a special meal at the Inn at Little Washington. Little did we realize that our stay at The Foster Harris House would be another highlight on the trip and not simply a place to sleep. The innkeepers, Diane and John, were outstanding host, tending to our every need. The place is spotless, good beds and the bathroom has a really cool rainfall shower. The breakfast served at the inn are absolutely delicious. Go here if you want a special weekend.
