Afton Mountain Bed and Breakfast

We had a great stay. Very nice hosts and comfortable accommodation. Delicious breakfast. Hot coffee and cold drinks and snacks readily available. Our room had a clean and modern en suite. Great access to wineries, breweries and hiking. Satellite TV in one of the two common spaces. Would definitely stay again!

**** 4 ½ Stars****
Afton Mountain Bed and Breakfast is a beautiful B&B tucked away outside of Charlottesville. Innkeepers Dan and Oraquida were very kind and hospitable. They greeted us at the door and gave us a tour of the house and amenities. I loved the personal touches including the homemade cookies, beverages, and fresh coffee in the morning.
We stayed in the Goodwin room which was the perfect size for the two of us. The bed was comfortable and spacious and plenty of room for us to move around. Having a private bathroom was a plus too. We also had access to the porch. We took advantage of the porch by taking our coffee there and enjoying the view. You definitely feel secluded and away from everyone while at the bed and breakfast. Our meal was delicious. Pancakes, local sausage, and a banana parfait. Plus great conversation with the guests and owners.
Overall a wonderful experience and a great option. If you’re looking for something different and away from Charlottesville proper, this is a good spot.

My husband and I had a very lovely stay at the Afton Mountain Inn. We stayed in The Shenandoah Room and it had everything we needed. The best part was how nice Oraquida and Dan were. We really felt comfortable our whole stay. Breakfast was delicious and was just the right amount to fuel us up for a day of wineries and sights. We’d definitely not hesitate to stay here again. There is so much to do in the area, we def. want to come back.

Orquida and Dan were super friendly. Orquida made us feel right at home. The room was very clean and comfortable. The food was great. I’m very picky when it comes to food and Orquida made sure to prepare items that I would like. The B&B is in a great location. This was our first experience staying in a B&B it was a great time! We are definitely going back to stay again!

What a lovely experience! So impressed with the smaller details– fabulous linens, big fluffy towels, all the comforts of Grandma’s House!
Our breakfast was delicious in a warm and inviting environment. So cozy!
We travel to the area somewhat regularly and will definitely return.

This is the second time I’ve been to this B&B. It is nothing but fabulous. I’ve traveled a lot for work and I’m very picky about where I stay but I love it here. Clean, clean, clean-I’m very big on cleanliness and it’s immaculate. The food is awesome and the owners are so sweet and nice. The owners go out of their way to make your stay nice and comfortable. Highly recommend!!!

My wife and I stayed here for a birthday weekend. The B&B is very homey, there’s lots of great common space for guests. We played board games in the living room and read by the fire. Orquida and Dan were extremely friendly and helpful. My wife had gotten a birthday package, so they served us cake and wine and were generally great hosts. The breakfasts were very good and quite creative (I was expecting just eggs and bacon). The location is very convenient, right off 151. My wife pointed out that this meant there is a little traffic noise if you sit outside, but it’s not bad, and that’s the price you pay.
We would definitely recommend the B&B for anybody staying in the area. It’s one of the nicest I’ve ever stayed in.

This B&B is beautiful. It’s nice and tucked away for privacy, but the well-​placed sign out front helps ensure that you don’t miss your turn. My boyfriend and I stayed in the Shenandoah room which was perfect for a young couple. Orquida and Dan were nice as could be and very accommodating. My favorite thing about the B&B was that it was very old, but well-​maintained so you got a good historic feel without sacrificing your 21^st century expectations as far as heating and Wi-​Fi. There was no TV in the room, but that was fine with us. We just brought a laptop and some DVDs.
Another great thing about the proprietors: they’re very good at reading their guests. They sensed our independent personalities and that our reason for staying was to have a romantic, intimate weekend where we could focus on the two of us as a couple. They really put to rest my fear about B&Bs being too close-​quartered. We were able to spend our evening with no interruption, but we also found that help was right around the corner if we needed anything. Speaking as someone who has worked in the service industry for a few years now, you can tell they both truly love what they do and it projects into their guests making them feel more welcome and comfortable. This is something that the best of the best struggle with: putting the guests first no matter WHAT. And they succeed with flying colors.
What put this B&B over the top was the breakfast. We had delicious coffee and OJ with our apricot stuffed french toast. You could tell that everything was locally purchased by the fresh taste and great flavor. It was wonderful to stay in an affordable inn over a corporate hotel because we didn’t have to sacrifice on the intimacy or the quality, but we didn’t have to empty our wallets either. We just hope Orquida and Dan aren’t tired of us because we plan on returning VERY soon.

I had never been to a bed and breakfast before, and I absolutely loved this experience. Orquida was so kind and so was her husband Dan. They made out of this world breakfast; (one of the best I’ve ever had anywhere!) every morning was an adventure! The rooms were clean and stocked (cotton balls, toilet paper, towels, etc.) and there were great places to lounge on the porch and indoors. I definitely would say this is the best place in town!

Exceptionally clean! Breakfast was served formal style with many delicious courses. Our bed was comfortable, very comfortable! Close to the local breweries and wineries. And close to Wintergreen resort for skiing. It was a great weekend getaway.

I stayed at this B and B from Wednesday-​Sunday by myself. It was awesome. Orquida and Dan were as nice as could be. The house is kept up well, but is not anything too fancy. But honestly, that was perfect. I spent a lot of time out of the house enjoying all the local activities– hiking, breweries, and wineries. I would highly recommend it and am hoping to go back in October.
Room:
I stayed in the Shenandoah and it was perfect for me as someone who was traveling alone. The bathroom was small with a stand up shower, but that was fine. There was enough room and didn’t feel cramped. This room is the only bedroom located downstairs. It could be kind of noisy as it is close to the kitchen and dining room. You can definitely hear people moving around upstairs, but it’s nothing that I couldn’t easily sleep through. I went to bed pretty early and woke up around 7am every day, so the noise didn’t affect my sleeping schedule.
Amenities:
It was too cool to go for a swim in the pool, though that was one of the main reasons I booked there was to have the option. I did lay out on a sunny day. The pool is small and probably only good for splashing around and not laps. With that said though, it would have been perfect for floating and sipping wine. There were some tables and lounge chairs, so I would have definitely been out there more if it was warmer.
There was wi-​fi and a desktop computer with internet connection. I used it a couple times to research day activities and send an email. There was also a flat screen TV and DVDs though I did not watch it. There were board games, books, and other things that would have been fun if I had been there with someone else.
Location:
The setting itself was beautiful. The house is located right off the 151, so it can be noisy with traffic, but is set back enough that you don’t see the road– you just hear it. There was a nice porch in the front and an upper back porch. Perfect for drinking coffee in the morning or sitting in the evening and reading. As far as being right on 151, it wasn’t hard to turn into or out of during peak traffic hours so nothing to worry about there. I am an avid runner and I was able to do 4 miles on Mill Ln which is right around the corner from the house. The bridge can be kind of tricky, but if you find an opening without cars coming you’re fine to make it across safely.
It’s about 10 – 15 minutes from all the breweries and the wineries. 20 min to Humpback Rocks and and 45min to Crabtree Falls. I thought it was very convenient to everything that I wanted to do during my stay.
Food:
The food was good. I can’t complain. I’m a vegetarian and though they forgot the first morning, they were very apologetic and the rest of the breakfasts were meat free. They served parfaits, smoothies, zuchini bread, a fritatta, pancakes, and waffles while I was there. It was all fairly standard, but nice and fresh. Orquida was quick to pour more coffee which I was thankful for! They put out cookies in the afternoon which were good to munch on, but nothing fancy.
So, overall I would highly recommend this B and B. I was concerned that Orquida and Dan might dote over me too much as I was alone, but they respected my space and were so accomodating. I can also say that the house was pretty much full the entire time that I was there, which is always a positive sign! I am definitely coming back.

Breakfast… excellent and different each of the 3 mornings spent there. Afternoon cookies a pleasant treat.
Looking Glass bedroom, one of 4, warm, comfortable, expertly decorated and maintained.
Common areas … Inviting, comfortable and well maintained.
Outdoor pool… Delightful, a fine place to read and get some sun.
Dan and Orquida have created a first class place to stay and relax.
