Gay Street Inn

"We stayed at the Gay Street Inn in November and had such a wonderful experience! Our room was spacious and cute, the whole house is totally charming, and breakfast in the back area was a definite highlight! We will stay again!"

"I had several of my friends over for my birthday. We stayed in clean and comfortable rooms and the whole house was beautiful. Owner Drew and his staff were amazing and could not have been more accommodating. The attention to detail was evident. Drew went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well fed. I highly recommend a stay here!"

"We stayed at the Gay Street Inn for a weekend while in town for a wedding and it was lovely! The check in was as easy as could be, we were sent a code for the front door and for our room so we could let ourselves in. We ran into the housekeeper when we got there and she was very welcoming. We had the Bradam's Ridge Room and it was quite comfortable. There was excellent light in the bathroom for getting ready to go to the wedding. The shower had TWO showerheads - a regular style and a flat rain style - and great water pressure. We did not have breakfast at the Inn but it smelled amazing as we were heading out! I forgot my pajamas on the bed and Drew (one of the owners) emailed me the next day and shipped them back to me right away. We would absolutely stay here again."

"We visited the Gay Street Inn earlier this month for a weekend getaway to the countryside. Our room (the Mountain View room) was charming, well-appointed, and extremely comfortable. Drew was amazing throughout our stay. He helped to arrange Mother's Day flowers and other logistics before our arrival, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great visit. We will definitely stay here again!"

"Our time at Gay Street Inn was our favorite during our overnight stay in Washington, VA. The place is bursting with character, feeling historic while also having modern updates and being incredibly clean. Before your arrival, you will receive an email providing you with instructions about how to enter the Inn and your room (digital codes), which makes arrival and the rest of your stay seamless (no need to keep track of a key as you go about your travels). There is also plenty of street parking available right in front of the Inn. The grounds are well-maintained and tranquil. Around the garden and lawn, there are pairs of seats set up to allow guests plenty of space to sit and relax while also having a private space. Inside, the library offers cozy seating to unwind or relax in the morning with a cup of coffee. Our room itself was lovely and comfortable. Upon arrival, it felt cool inside, and we were incredibly impressed by how clean everything was. The bed was firm and supportive, providing a restful night of sleep. The bathroom was clean and stocked with soaps and fluffy towels. The rooms at the Inn put hotel rooms at many large chains to shame. We opted for the celebration package with came with a bottle of champagne, chocolates, welcome drinks, and breakfast in the morning. The wine was very good, and it was a great way to unwind after a long day exploring the area. One of our highlights was actually breakfast. We anticipated there being a couple of baked good options available, but instead, we were presented a full meal. Drew's homemade granola was a great way to start the day, and the local quiche was very representative of Drew and Deb's familiarity with the area and desire to support local businesses. We had a great conversation with Drew who told us about several locations we might be interested in exploring during our remaining time in the area or for a future visit. We took his advice and stuck in the region for a few extra hours before making our way home, and all of his recommendations were spot on. If you're in need of local recommendations, I highly recommend asking - they are more than happy to help you make the most of your time in the area!"
