The Zane Room

The Chumley Homeplace is the house of choice for those who love a more informal setting. The heart of the Chumley Homeplace is a vintage two-story walnut log house moved to the property by the Chumley family in 1963. The exposed-log keeping room, with its huge stone fireplace and deep chairs, is the ultimate bad weather hideout. The center coffee table displays artifacts found during the restoration of Vaucluse. Original Chumley paintings recall the days when the artist was in residence.

The Stone Terrace common room’s many windows look out over the three-season perennial border and into the woods where birds and squirrels abound. Wicker furniture makes this an altogether lighter room. The screened porch and its rockers overlook Vaucluse Spring -- the perfect venue for rockin and talkin.

The South Wing Guest Rooms

The South Wing was added to the Chumley Homeplace in the 1980’s, connected by a screened porch. It has been completely renovated and divided into two guest rooms.

The Jones Room

We knew it the moment we saw it. An old mansion, nearly in ruins, rich in one family's history and vacant for decades, and the ancient limestone spring that must have drawn them to this place as it has drawn us. Here we would recreate a tradition of Southern style and service that any resident from over the 200 years of its known past would recognize as classic Virginian.

Originally built in 1785 by the young Revolutionary War Captain Strother Jones, the Vaucluse Manor house was home to his direct descendants through the Civil War. Its fall into disuse was reversed in 1997 when we restored the house and Vaucluse once again was filled with life, laughter and good food.

Today, the first floor of Vaucluse contains the inn’s two dining rooms and two gracious sitting rooms. The photo album of before pictures prompts gasps of amazed disbelief and many animated discussions of restoration projects. The soaring windows, high ceilings, intricately carved mantles, and walnut and cherry paneled doors always elicit comments.

Outside, the front porch with its row of rockers and peaceful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley is the site of many an early morning cup of coffee and late afternoon glass of wine.

Second Floor Guest Rooms

Commanding views of the surrounding countryside are a feature of all three of the elegant bedrooms on the second floor. High ceilings, original mantles, and gleaming heart pine floors under thick Oriental rugs are found throughout. Rates range from $200 to $250.

• The Jones Room: Queen size four poster bed, remote control gas fireplace, original mantle and heart pine floors, two comfortable reading chairs (one, a “chair and a halfâ€Â) with ottomans, antique Eastlake secretary, and south-facing views of Signal Knob and the Blue Ridge. Bathroom features: Two-person Jacuzzi tub-shower combination, remote control gas fireplace. $250 per night
• The Strother Room: King size bed, remote control gas fireplace, original mantle and heart pine floors, two comfortable reading chairs, French antique mirrored two-door armoire and matching bedside tables and dresser, and two south-facing windows with views of Signal Knob and the Blue Ridge. Bathroom features: One-person Jacuzzi tub-shower combination, morning sunrise views over rolling pastureland. $235 per night
• The Randolph Room: Queen size sleigh bed, remote control gas fireplace, original mantle and heart pine floors, two comfortable reading chairs, antique mirrored oak two-door armoire, morning sunrise views over rolling pastureland. Bathroom features: One-person Jacuzzi tub-shower combination, charming trompe l’oeil painted table. $200 per night

Winter Kitchen Guest Rooms

The stone-walled lower level of the Vaucluse mansion is at once cozy and spacious. The light-filled common room, with its overstuffed chairs and antique collectibles, is dominated by the original cooking fireplace. All three Winter Kitchen guest rooms are located off the common room. With private baths, Jacuzzi tubs, queen beds, and fireplaces, the Winter Kitchen rooms are a terrific value at $160 per night.
