The beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the
heart of Virginia's wine country are an ideal setting for

Hall.
Six tastefully appointed guest rooms promise pleasant
relaxation and refreshment for visitors, who are provided
complimentary beverages upon arrival. All rooms offer private
baths, air conditioning, and fresh-air windows, some of which
feature a balcony view. Highlights of the various quarters
include whirlpool and hydro-therapeutic tubs plus private
outdoor porches and entrances. A range of ambiance from large
and sunny to cozy and romantic make the rooms viable to
everyone's taste. The ground-floor room is handicapped

Awaken to the aroma of freshly baked croissants (rated tops
from France and Belgium), freshly brewed coffee, and a variety
of teas. Delight in luscious fruits, country jams and
preserves, and hot and cold cereal while you dine at a
leisurely pace in the sunny morning room. Guests are invited
to relax in one of the home's parlors, where you can browse

Discover the beauty along Skyline Drive and Old Rag
Mountain, where one can hike its many trails. Fountain Hall
has several documented bike routes through picturesque byways
and country roads, and for the golf enthusiast, a number of
outstanding golf courses are within a short drive. Rich in
