The Milton House Bed & Breakfast Inn

This unique 1913 historic Southern Colonial home was ordered from the Sears Roebuck catalogue. The Milton House Bed and Breakfast is one of 100,000 Sears homes ordered and assembled by the owners. There are many in existence today, two here on Main Street Stanley, attesting to the quality and design of their construction. The Milton House Bed and Breakfast derives its name from the Model name in the mail order catalog. The Milton House Bed and Breakfast Inn has a Three Diamond Award from AAA and is located in the bucolic town of Stanley, Virginia, seven miles south of Luray in the Shenandoah River Valley near the famous Luray Caverns and Skyline Drive.

Your hosts, Anita & John, are the new owners of the Milton. They both have many years of experience in the hospitality and food service industry. The house and Log cabin have been recently restored and freshly painted. If you have been a guest of the Milton House in the past, you will be very pleased with the "new" old Milton House.

Enjoy one of our antique appointed rooms in the Main House with private bath and fireplace (one with a Jacuzzi tub for two) or spend some romantic time in one of the Log Cabin suites with fireplaces and private Jacuzzi type hot tubs. All guests have the option to a full breakfast or having a continental breakfast delivered to their door each morning. Guests will be asked at check in for their preference.

Milton House Bed and Breakfast Inn is in the Shenandoah River Valley nestled between the Massanutten Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains, near the Shenandoah National Park, George Washington National Forest, Skyline Drive, New Market Battlefield and the Massanutten Ski Resort, Antique shops, Vineyards, Canoeing, Great Fishing, and Hiking.
