Our historic 1740 Shenandoah Valley bed and breakfast is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty and history of the Valley. Once a haven against Indian attacks on the Virginia frontier and later Stonewall Jackson's headquarters during the Valley Campaign of 1862, our Shenandoah Valley inn now welcomes travelers looking for comfortable lodging and friendly hospitality. On Route 11 (the Old Valley Turnpike), only two miles from Interstate 81 at Woodstock, the inn has a country atmosphere on five private acres along the Shenandoah River. The inn offers 12 guestrooms, a well-equipped meeting room for small executive retreats, many common areas, and lovely grounds to host your wedding.
A hearty Inn at Narrow Passage breakfast will get your day off to a great start! If you have special dietary needs, tell us ahead of time, and we will try to have just what you need. After a busy day of hiking or sightseeing, return for a cool drink on the porch in summer or hot, spiced tea by the fire in winter. In the evening, walk down to the river to feed the ducks, or maybe spend a little time fishing.

True Colonial Inns were built along the major trails and toll roads of Early America. So it is with the Inn at Narrow Passage. Its oldest section was built about 1740. The Inn at Narrow Passage has been welcoming travelers along the Great Wagon Road (now U.S. Route 11) for over 250 years. The Inn's sturdy log walls made it a safe haven against Indian attacks at the "narrow passage"- where the roadbed was only one wagon wide and traveling was very dangerous. Later, it became important as Stonewall Jackson's headquarters during the Valley Campaign of 1862. Historians like to note that it was here General Jackson commanded Jedediah Hotchkiss to "Make me a map of the Valley."
From settlers seeking refuge from Indians to present day travelers looking for a haven against the stresses of modern life, the Inn at Narrow Passage has kept its promise of comfort and hospitality, continuing to be a welcome sight to travelers from all over the world.
In the main building, guests can enjoy the large common room, with its gleaming pine floors, wing chairs and massive limestone fireplace. A hearty, fireside breakfast is served in the panelled dining room, with fine restaurants nearby for other meals. The oldest guest rooms feature pine floors, stenciling, and the atmosphere of colonial times. Rooms in later additions are decorated in the same style, but open onto porches, with pretty views across the lawn toward the river and mountains to the east.
