Foster Harris House
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 either a rainfall shower or a Jacuzzi tub. 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.
