We spent two nights and needed another full day just to explore this historic building and the property it sits on. Virginia has made sure that anything you could possibly want is there, anticipating every need (beer mugs in the freezer for the beer she put in the fridge, CDs and DVDs, drinks, books and magazines, brochures, and everything you...

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending 5 nights at the Jacob Swartz House in early August 2011. From he moment that we drove down the long country road and were warmly greeted by Virginia, we knew that we were in for a special experience!. Her lovely home and adjoining guest house are surrounded by old trees and... More

Hard to find a place suitable for traveling with a 3month old, but Jacob Swartz house was perfect. Hidden between a corn field and the river, it couldn't have a prettier setting. Virginia is a charming and gracious hostess. Despite sweltering July temps, we could not have been more comfortable.

This place is beyond a B&B! My sister and I stayed here for 3 days/nights in late October-early Nov 2010. We were very pleasantly surprised at the coziness of the cottage, the roominess, the cleanliness, the stocked pantry, the amenities too many to list here! Virginia is a MOST gracious host, bringing wonderful breakfasts every morning, and delicious desserts every... More

What can I say, our stay at the Jacob Swartz House was beyond belief. Virginia, the owner of the cottage, couldn't have been more gracious. Her breakfasts and late afternoon desserts were wonderful. My husband and I ate breakfast each morning on the beautiful terrace amidst the many hummingbirds and the sound of the river below. The cottage was adorable... More

We went for a hot air balloon ride actually in Oct. of 2008. Our ride was the first thing the morning, but after we got back, she told us to be hungry.! No disappointment here. She brought a fabulous breakfast to us. She provided materials with local things to do. They had an interactive civil war reenactment one night and... More

Virginia the Innkeeper lady is top notch. We've stayed here 2-3X now, loved every trip. Was able to fish, she had a BBQ for us to use, the house perches over the river, what views and sounds. Thecottage is huge, well laid out, all the amenities and more, by far the nicest layoff and biggest you'll find anywhere. If you... More

Most B&B's give you breakfast, but Virginia had a warm peach cobbler waiting for us when we arrived for my birthday weekend in May 2009. The entire experience was absolutely delightful. She had a fully stocked kitchen with sodas, beer, popcorn, and plenty of "real" food if you wanted any. Plus, there were mugs in the freezer. There are so... More

We've been here so many times! We happened across it on our way down to Roanoke in 2004. It was our favorite part of the trip so we try to go back once a year. The house is completely private and great for our family of 4. Virginia's breakfasts and desserts are "to die for"! A nice porch overlooking the... More
