Accommodation Review: Harmony Hill B&B, Virginia

Since the pandemic started, travel writing has been one of the industries that's gone by the waste side, but as our world opens back up, travel is very much a possibility. You can still do some travel that's safe and without many restrictions, like road tripping to a beautiful natural area like Virginia. That's exactly what I did! Any nature area in the USA is a good option for those who wish to stay away from people, yet still have a fulfilling experience away from home. Being from Ohio, and having only experienced south parts of the Appalachian mountain range, I knew Virginia would be the perfect place for me. Plus, I was out to see what the area is like due to recent genealogy discoveries within my family and heritage. I found out that my family was one of the very first to settle the Shenandoah region and I found some remnants of their time there.

I was blessed to be able to stay two nights at the Harmony Hill Bed & Breakfast in Arrington, Virginia, which is a lovely boutique bed and breakfast that's a stones throw from gorgeous Crabtree Falls and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Harmony Hill is run by the nicest couple in Wendie and Jay, who are both very accommodation and only want the best for their guests. Harmony Hill is perfect jumping off point for Appalachian adventures of any kind throughout Virginia. They are in the ideal spot within the state, as they're within 30-45 minutes of the Blue Ride Parkway, as well as Shendandoah National Park, but what's more is their location is in the middle of the state, so trips to southern Virginia's mountain range or to Washington D.C. are well within a reasonable day trip.

​I found Harmony Hill B&B to be a comfortable home away from home, with a relaxed atmosphere, kind people, and with a lot to offer its guests. Beyond the cute baby goats, the amenities are fantastic, and the owners are bubbly and great to talk to. The grounds are beautiful with plenty of places to lounge and hang out, and with lots to do and see. My room was the Minuet, which offered a spacious room on the ground floor with a sizable bed, additional day bed, living room area with lounger chair, fireplace, and flat screen TV, as well as a private bath and full closet. The walls are wood and gorgeous, and the room was tidy and pristine, and felt welcoming. Sometimes, even as a travel writer, the beds can cause me to have a rough night, but I slept like a baby both nights, which gave me the energy I needed for my planned adventures.

Breakfast both mornings was superb! First, I had fresh eggs, local sausage on toast with cheese, along with tomato, avocado, and a yogurt parfait with orange and blackberries. The second morning, I had a waffle with fried chicken and a fresh juice blend, and it was delicious. One of the best details about Harmony Hill is that they grow many of their own herbs for spices and garnishes, and most of their own vegetables which they serve fresh from the garden, and you can tell by the flavor, and the love put into each meal. Wendie and Jay are caring individuals who love what they do and love their accompanying farm. I can't wait to come back with my wife and little boy someday. It was the perfect getaway to ground ones thoughts and to relax after a stressful year of first-time parenting during a pandemic.
