This was a nice place to stay for location and bed was comfortable. The fellow who did our breakfasts went above and beyond for us since we had to leave earlier than breakfast our second day. We shared a balcony on the 2nd floor with 2 other rooms which was nice to converse with other people, except the owner below us sat out and smoked us out continuously. A resident cat roams the inside along with her 'service dog', and the rooms are all left open. Not good for allergy sufferers such as my husband.

The caretaker David was wonderful, but it is evident that the facility is in need of major renovations. The breakfast was good but 9am is much too late for my husband and I, we felt like we were wasting our morning sticking around until 9am for breakfast. Though the location was good, we would not recommend this place unless renovations had been done.

Thank you so much for your review. David is certainly a gem in our eyes! We are in fact working on some renovations that have slowly but surely started in this pandemic crisis. I do apologize that breakfast was too late for you...we certainly do prepare early togo breakfast for those in need of getting out early! I hope you look back to us in the future for a renovated and fresh stay!

worst ever
We did not get the room we booked, the bed had red stains, the air conditioner was broken, the screen on window off, the vent in bathroom didn't work, the cook wore dirty socks and had dirty had while serving food, the "king" bed was 2 twins pushed together, there were spiders crawling everywhere, the garbage in kitchen was overflowing, the "beautiful" grounds had people camping on them and using the kitchen and bathroom, it's was absolutely terrible and should be shut down for health and safety.

The room you had booked was closed for the week prior to an arrival as an extra precaution requested by the guests due to COVID-19. The room we moved you to did indeed have two twin-beds together- which is an added amenity in that room for guests in search of family stays. I do apologize you did not get the stay you were looking for, but in regards to spiders crawling everywhere we do housekeeping multiple times a week and check for things like this, so sorry it was missed. The campers find that COVID-19 traveling works well staying outside and we enjoy having them. They are not to use the indoor bathroom or kitchen space--they stay at a completely different rate under different guidelines. We wish you well and hope you may one day reconsider our inn. We are doing our best through the circumstances and have taken extra steps to provide safe and courteous customer service to all of our guests. Stay well, and good vibes to you and yours!

Beautiful
This was a wonderful Inn. Right on 151 and super close to all of the breweries/cideries/wineries you could possibly want. Also very close to different trail heads or a short drive from more train heads further up the mountain. The room was perfect for a quaint stay. The view from the front porch was beautiful and the staff were all very friendly. Would recommend to anyone wanting a weekend away.

It was our first time ever using a B&B, so we don't have a frame of reference for other B&B's. It was definitely better than staying in a boring chain hotel room. The Staff is very friendly and inviting. Breakfast was the only real downside to the stay. Choices were very limited. I believe much of it was reheated in a microwave, muffins were clearly store-bought and heated up before serving, food was over-spiced or over-salted, and no other food service was offered at anytime of day or night. Probably better off going down the road a few minutes to the bakery (there are virtually no chain restaurants in the area). The property is ok, with room to roam, and the house itself is pretty nice for a 180-year old structure. There are SO many fun things to do in a very short driving range if you like hiking, wineries, breweries, scenic overlooks and, of course, skiing in the winter. The whole area is gorgeous!

Must Love Animals
Overall, great stay with a beautiful view, friendly staff and easy access to surrounding area. Breakfast was also great and very sweet that they have cookies available throughout the day to snack on. I didn't realize how many animals they had at the inn. Not a huge fan of cats, and there was one that kept trying to get into my room. There was also a very loud parrot, that woke me up several times.

Very comfy bed. and wonderful breakfast! It's a real shame they won't open the restaurant for dinner unless you have a party of at least six people. Extremely irritating slamming screen door late at night and early in the morning and screaming pet bird during early morning as well. Many things around this beautiful old building need tending to but it just isn't happening. This Inn could be superb with a little more effort. Also, NEEDS some lighting in the parking area which is surrounded by bushes and trees and at the end of the drive.

Thank you so much for your review. We are truly sorry we did not meet your expectations and I would like to appologize for not matching our high standards of service. Rainy days in within last two months kept us behind the schedule, but with our new crew we already managed to catch up with all the work due. We hope that you will give us another opportunity on your next trip to the area. Best regards,

Not a bed and breakfast...
Just beware this is NOT a bed and breakfast; it's a bed and continental breakfast in a styrofoam container that guests pick up from the fridge. Very disappointing. I was so looking forward to staying here.So disappointed... Hope others have a better experience.

Hotel is quite tired. Not the cleanest. Owners very friendly, chatty and it feels like you are staying at their house as a guest. If you are into chatting to them at breakfast then perfect. If you are looking for more privacy then this is not the place for you .

Relaxing mountain views
What a great relaxing b&b the Mark Addy is. It's been on our list of places to stay for a while and this past weekend we finally did. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The historic home is comfortable and close to Nellysford, Charlottesville and Crozet depending on what you want to do. Incredible views sitting on the front porch sipping Virginia wine. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from in Nellysford or the owners serve dinner. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at the Mark Addy Bed & Breakfast\\ October 2009
We had a peaceful and relaxing time while we stayed at the Bed & Breakfast. The Inn keepers were very attentive and our breakfast was delicious and very eye pleasing. They served a different breakfast each morning. I would recommend the Mark Addy to anyone looking for nice and peaceful time in the foothills of Winter Green, VA.

This area in western Virginia is truly beautiful. The Mark Addy has huge potential, but it is tired. Some might consider this as simply quaint, but it gave us the impression of being let go and suffering a lack of care.
