We are so glad we stayed at Cave Hill Farm B&B! The staff were beyond friendly and accommodating. The house was beautiful and peaceful. It was a short drive to Mashita, where we had an excellent dinner. In the morning, we walked downstairs and had a delicious breakfast while chatting with the other guests, which was all lovely. We look forward to returning.

Really terrible, uninviting and dirty
I have stayed here many times before and it was great but it must be under new management because it was really terrible this time and I won't be returning. Instead of a gourmet breakfast served each morning by a friendly couple, we got an empty cold dining room with bagels and muffins wrapped in plastic on the counter and a kurig machine ... so so disappointing. Also plastic forks and spoons and paper plates and cups....unbelievable. Room was cold and the thermostat in the corridor was locked and password protected. Landlady had the TV beneath our room (Gold) blasting until 1.30am.... really! We used to consider the house "quaint" with all of the furnishings but honestly it's just so dirty and God knows the last time anything was cleaned. Bathroom was dirty, door knob fell off several times, multiple lightbulbs not working, heater in the room was inadequate, toilet leaking. I booked for three nights but left after two, I just couldn't take it any longer and went home early. I will not be returning but hope this review will warn "regular" visitors that it's not the same and has really gone downhill.....just sad and did I mention disappointing.

We made a reservation here because we were attending a wedding the following day. Upon check-in, we met Brittany. Unfortunately, she had an accident that caused her to be on crutches. She explained to us that she would not be able to supply the Hardy breakfast, that usually is associated with other bed-and-breakfast, and that we could have a choice of store-bought, bagels and croissants, muffins, and there was Keurig coffee. All this was cafeteria style. I asked if there would be some adjustment to the daily rate for the two days that we were there. She hesitated, and then said she would check with her husband . That was 5 o’clock on the Friday we checked in and the first time and the last time we ever saw Brittany again even though we were in and out of the house multiple times. When we left on Sunday and checked out at 10:30 AM, nobody was there, so we just dropped our key off at the desk and left. She had never gotten back to us one way or the other after checking with her husband. We have been to many bed-and-breakfast and enjoy that stay over hotels/motels. Mostly because of the homelike feeling, the opportunity to meet new people , and to share in the history of the place where we’re staying. Usually, the big highlight of the stay is the outstanding breakfasts we have had at other residence. It’s such a convenient and great way to start your day of adventure. Since it cost us an additional $100.00 for breakfast both days, we will not be returning.

I loved eating breakfast with the other guests and chatting about what we had done the day before and plans for the upcoming day. There's even a brewery associated with this B&B! You can wake up and see cows walking around outside. There is so much history to this house; it felt very special to get to stay here.

The property was decorated well for the time period. Bed was comfortable and breakfasts were great. Tried to take a jacuzzi tub but once I turned the jets on, dirt, mildew and bugs shot out so most likely no one is cleaning out the jets regularly. The blind was broken so we had a hard time letting in any natural light. The person running the inn seemed distracted and didn't share much in terms of what the amenities were or how the breakfast service worked. Coffee was lukewarm unless you made your own Keurig which was backed up with 6 guests trying to get coffee all at once. Could be a great spot rather than average with just a few tweaks.

Quaint and Quiet Neat JMU
Great place to stay while visiting James Madison University. Quaint, quiet and only 8 miles from campus. Better than most chain hotels in the area. Comfortable rooms with all the amenities. Breakfast looked wonderful even though we couldn’t stay to eat.

This is a true Bed and Breakfast hosted in a historical rich 1800's structure that has been well maintained. The hosts of the venue may our stay delightful and knew much about the building and area history. The breakfast was one that my own Grandmother would have made for me. The room and bed were a welcome respite from other places we had stayed on our journey. All the decor of the structure is period, and you are out in the quiet of farm land. This was an excellent stay.

The hosts were very flexible when our schedule for the weekend got disrupted. The property has so much potential but attention to small but important details is needed: - lightbulbs out - doorknob on bathroom door fell off - ceiling vents needed dusting - bedroom rug needed to be vacuumed - no offers of juice, water, butter, jelly at breakfast unless asked (or at least they could have been out or on a sideboard) 5 decks of cards in the common area and 4 were incomplete -scrabble was missing almost all letters - dominoes missing from set - no specific directions for TV in room or common area - benches and swing on grounds were dirty or in disrepair - no bath mat - 2 people, 2 sets of towels, not even 1 extra

This is an awesome property!! It's on a secluded quiet farm, but it's still very convenient place to stay as it's only 10 minute drive into town and 20 minute drive to Shenandoah National Park. This is a well maintained historic building and they even have a museum in the basement. Enjoyed hanging out on the rocking chairs at night watching fire flies. Unfortunately we only stayed one night and had to leave early so didn't get to partake in the breakfast but the property itself was amazing.

This will be a great B&B when it is ready. The inside is in reasonably good shape but the outside needs much work. When we arrived the yard had not even been mowed. The windows were dirty. The steps are in disrepair. The management does not have it together yet They do have a neat museum in the basement..

This is a charming old farmhouse that is full of history. It is a bit out in the country but easy to find. The area is beautiful. The hosts were great and the breakfast was excellent. Very close to Shenandoah National Park.

Bed & Breakfast minus the breakfast
We were not impressed with this place. From the sour welcome (the hostess didn’t even bother introducing herself), to the strict rules (breakfast at 9am - if you need to leave earlier, you lose it. If you arrive later, it’s already getting cold on the table), to the room - full of tchotchkes but missing the basics: a trash can, a non-leaking bath tub, a tissue box, replacement towels (since there’s no service.) To cap it all, on the second day we dutifully went down at 9am to find an empty dinner table, a locked kitchen and bewildered guests wondering where breakfast was. We and the other guests had to call the owner only to hear that breakfast would not be served since “the cook is sick”. None of us was notified about it, contrary to what we were told on the phone. I understand people get sick, but the owner should have a backup plan, maybe show up with some snacks, or at a minimum show up and explain the situation. These owners simply do not care. You can find better places. The rooms are spacious, the heating is good and the bed was comfortable. This can be so, so much better.

Only thing I saw was the blinds were broken and not working well…. Everything else was fabulous Yard needed a bit of a clean up but it’s still freezing outside so guess that happens in warmer weather. The brewery on the farm was great… good food and bear.

A very nice Bed & Breakfast with a historical atmosphere. The house is old but comfortable. If you like history there is a tiny museum inside that is very interesting. The staff was nice and the breakfast was very good. If we are in the area we stay there again.
