This our first time in a B&B and I have to say it was really quite lovely. We stayed here right after our wedding in Nelson County which was perfect. The staff were all very warm and welcoming. I can't say much for the other rooms since we did not see them, but the "Honey Moon Suite" seems the way... More

We were in the area for the Sweet Briar college graduation and I was so pleased with our decision to stay. The house and grounds are amazing, love the peacocks! We had eight family memebrs so we took up all but one room in the shouse. It was fun. There is a small guest house that would have been availible... More

Like the two posters before me, I also purchased a weekend getaway with this B&B through Living Social. When we've tried to book a reservation, by both telephone and email, we've receive no response from the owners/innkeepers. We've made several attempts over the past several months, and lately not even mentioning the living social deal, and still no response. This... More

For all our Living Social and Groupon customers ... Fairview remains committed to honoring all active vouchers, subject to availability for the remainder of 2013. Or, supporting a full refund, if a guest can not wait for a reservation. We are still honoring many vouchers each month, and in fact, remain fully booked this summer with LS and GP guests... More

I seem to have purchased the same Living Social deal as several others. I have emailed numerous times with no response. I even contacted Living Docial twice. The first time I did so, I got an unsatisfactory response from the owner with a story about a fire that prevented quick responses. Fine, I can understand that. But no follow-up after... More

I purchased a livingsocial deal for $260!!! Called and emailed numerous times as soon as I mentioned my coupon I received no help. I did get a little further when I didn't mention the coupon at all, but when I started talking about what dates I again received the cold shoulder. There is no "charm" or "character" in doing this...

My wife and I received a WEEKEND getaway at the Fairview for Christmas in 2011 and still have been unable to use it. Every time we contact them we are offered tuesday-thursday dates. Seriously, who other that retirees can go to a B&B in the middle of the week. Complete rip-off!

AJ and I so enjoyed our stay at the Fairview Bed and Breakfast. It has so much charm and character. Though it took a bit of work for the reservation, it was worth the effort. Our's was the Lavender Room, which was large and comfortable. The bath was spacious and accommodating. Our room looked over the back of the grounds... More

My husband and I enjoyed a winter weekend getaway at this lovely Inn. We were warmly greeted by the owner/innkeeper,Jennifer, as if she had known us for years and quickly offered up a sampling of wines. Jennifer takes great pride in Fairview, and with good reason. It is a charming home, surrounded by beautiful views of the mountains, horses roaming... More

Our stay at Fairview Bed and Breakfast was very pleasant and relaxing. Jennifer and her staff were very welcoming and accommodating. We arrived late due to the winter weather and since we had missed dinner, the staff made us a nice picnic basket for our adventures on Saturday. We met wonderful people and had a great time exploring the area... More
