The Inn is a beautifully renovated old mansion with modern facilities (e.g. air conditioning). Breakfast, which we normally eat very little, was excellent. We will be back.

This was my first bed-and-breakfast experience, and it went very well! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were super comfortable and private. The breakfast offered in the morning was very delicious and plentiful! It is a fixed menu, but of course you can know if you have allergen or dietary restrictions and it can be adjusted. Loved my experience!

Historic property walking distance to downtown

Really pleasant staff. Great proximity to town and to the fly fishing school. Wonderful. Home cooked breakfast. It’s an historic property with period furnishings so don’t expect modern. We enjoyed our stay. Parking, breakfast and WIFi included

We chose Friendly City as a stopover driving from Boston to Atlanta and could not have been more delighted. The innkeeper was lovely, the room was very comfortable with everything you might need from hairdryer to iron and ironing board. Fresh chocolate chip cookies on arrival, great dining recommendations, and a lovely historic Inn to learn about. As we were leaving early in the morning and would not be able to stay for breakfast the Innkeeper offered to have breakfast to go for us, and it was delicious! The most amazing thing was that my daughter inadvertantly left a treasured stuffed animal. The Innkeeper offered to ship it to our destination which stopped the tears and made one girl very very happy. We highly recommend the Inn!

This Inn is definitely a step into history. The grounds are beautiful and from the moment you step into the foyer, you know you're someplace special. The staff is welcoming and friendly, the breakfast can't be beat, and the antiques throughout give the place a classic vibe. Can't recommend it enough!

Spring Getaway

The Friendly City Inn lives up to its name. It was a great base for a quick mother-daughter trip to the Shenandoah Valley. Kyle and Becca were welcoming but not intrusive. The bed was really comfortable and the room had a nice view of Harrisonburg and the mountains beyond. The breakfasts were amazing and the afternoon cookies were great after a day of hiking. We’ll definitely be back
