A touch of elegance in an historic setting. Once the center of a small Shenandoah Valley plantation, Stoneridge Bed and Breakfast offers a glimpse of antebellum life just minutes from historic Lexington, Virginia.

The original house was built in 1829 with bricks made on the property, and over the years several additions were constructed by previous owners.

Explore the grounds and you will find remnants of a servants' cabin, a restored spring house and a time-worn corn crib. The house is rumored to have been a stagecoach stop for the weary travelers between Staunton and Roanoke. Continuing this history of Shenandoah Valley hospitality, innkeepers have renovated the Lexington bed and breakfast to include such modern amenities as central air conditioning, ceiling fans and private baths in all bedrooms.

Step through the original Adams style double doors, and find restored rooms with high ceilings, intricate moldings, elaborate mantels and heart-of-pine floors. There is a library with an extensive collection of books, satellite television and a cozy fire. A gourmet breakfast is served in the dining room, or in pleasant weather, on the patio.

Just nine minutes from the center of Historic Lexington, this bed and breakfast is surrounded by thirty-two secluded acres of Virginia countryside - fields, streams and woodlands; and abundant wildflowers, butterflies and wildlife - deer, turnkeys and songbirds.

Sit on the spacious from porch and sip a cool drink as you enjoy the sunset over the mountains.

Appetizing aromas are always drifting from the Stoneridge kitchen. In the morning, it's the smell of freshly-brewed coffee and John's breakfast creations. And in the afternoons, arriving guests are welcomed by the sweet aromas of Evelyn's baked delicacies.

Whether it is breakfast, a special candlelit dinner, picnic lunch or special event - Stoneridge culinary delights are as memorable as the luxury accommodations.

Innkeepers Jim, Evelyn, John, and Sandy Stallard look forward to hosting you and sharing their picturesque and historic Virginia Bed and Breakfast in the Shenandoah Valley.
