Thistle Ridge Bed and Breakfast and Winery Tours

Welcome to Thistle Ridge Bed and Breakfast nestled in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Our 1800s farmhouse is a quiet peaceful retreat and a romantic getaway. A stay with us will have you re-energized and revitalized. Take in the Blue Ridge Mountains as you drive in. Our spacious back deck offers views of corn and hay fields, cows and horses. While you enjoy a bottle of wine, watch our herd of horses graze in the far field or gallop by the yard. Let nature dazzle you as butterflies, dragonflies, and fire flies cavort around the beautifully landscaped grounds. Frogs and turtles can be viewed sunning themselves on cedar logs in our country pond. We offer customized wine packages to suit every need.

A full country style breakfast is served from 7:30-9:00am on our sun porch. A continental style breakfast is available to guests wishing to eat prior to 7:30 am. Don't feel like getting dressed?

Your Innkeepers, Scott and Dixie Stromberg

We have lived in Virginia for over sixteen years. Scott retired from the US Navy in 2005. Scott's new career involved extensive travel, and Dixie's demanding career as a cardiac nurse left us longing for a simpler, quieter way of life. We found just that in the Shenandoah Valley which we have called home for the past six years. We have three grown children and are patiently waiting for one of them to give us a grandchild. When not busy with the Inn we enjoy spending time with our three cats, three dogs, three goats, and three times three horses. We enjoy many of the activities that the area has to offer. Our favorite by far, is tasting many of the award winning wines that Virginia has to offer. Come taste with us!
