Welcome to Historic Rosemont Manor, a respite for many US Presidents and celebrities, a private get-a-way for the Washington DC elite, comparable to Mount Vernon and Monticello in many aspects, and only a 40-minute drive from the Washington-Dulles Airport in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Now after 200 years, Historic Rosemont Manor is opened to the public for overnight lodging, breakfast, and catered events.
An elegant B&B property on a 60-acre park-like setting, Rosemont is the previous estate of the late Virginia Governor and US Senator Harry F. Byrd, Sr.
The historic manor house boasts twelve well-appointed suites and guestrooms with magnificent views, private bathrooms (with original claw foot bathtubs, soaking tubs or showers), in-room telephone systems, iHome iPod stations, and wireless internet. Experience true Southern hospitality in the same elegant surroundings as did Presidents Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon. We can help you make the perfect room choice for you, but we are sure you'll agree that
we've found the ultimate balance between old world charm and modern indulgence.
And the breakfasts... it's a good thing that breathing all of the fresh country air gives you an appetite, because our full breakfasts are hearty and indulgent. We don't count calories here at Historic Rosemont Manor, but if you do, we can tailor our selections to fit your dietary needs!
Corporate and family group functions can range from large receptions with passed hors d'oeuvres and open bar to intimate wine dinners. From wedding rehearsal dinners on the grand portico to bridal luncheons in the carriage house--the options and themes are virtually limitless. The stellar reputation of Rosemont's cuisine and professional staff will provide you with a quality event in an elegant setting. Please contact us to plan your culinary event.
Future brides and grooms are cordially invited to visit the park-like grounds of the historic Rosemont Manor estate for a complimentary morning tea or afternoon wine tasting during selected weekends this summer and fall. Rosemont staff will be on hand to give a guided tour of the former Governor's Mansion. Please contact us for details.
If you're looking to explore the countryside, we can pack you a picnic lunch and you can hike nearby Snicker's Gap, where you'll be rewarded with a bird's eye view of the entire Shenandoah Valley. Or explore the quaint towns of Berryville and Winchester, with their eclectic shopping and varied dining options. Feeling lazy? Then settle yourself on the Rosemont's Grand Portico for a well deserved afternoon of rest and relaxation. Whatever your pleasure, we know you'll leave Rosemont feeling refreshed in mind, body and soul. We would like to personally invite you to visit Rosemont and experience our elegant estate and extraordinary service in an idyllic setting reminiscent of a time when life moved more slowly and was appreciated just a little more.
