A unique Victorian Carpenter Gothic villa (born in 1780 and completed in 1853) just west of scenic Goshen Pass on the western edge of the Shenandoah Valley. Country atmosphere amid perennial gardens and an old livery stable bordered by a wide trout stream. Hike, visit antique shops, attend a play, or just relax on the deck by the stream.

Located in the Shenandoah Valley at the edge of the George Washington National Forest, the Hummingbird Inn offers accommodations in an early Victorian setting. Comfortable rooms are furnished with antiques, and combine an old fashioned ambiance with modern conveniences. Relax in front of a fire in the den or take the sun in the solarium.

Over the years Hummingbird Inn has been host to celebrities such as Eleanor Roosevelt, and Efraim Zimbalist, Sr. Architectural features include wraparound verandahs on the first and second floors, original pine floors of varying widths, a charming rustic den, and a solarium. Common rooms for guest use include the den (with digital satellite television, VCR, and stereo), the spacious parlor, and solarium. In season, the verandahs afford comfortable seating upstairs and down, and lawn games are available.

Dining at the Hummingbird Inn:

A more than full breakfast includes seasonal fruit dishes, varied entrees, home-baked muffins, cakes, & scones, and fresh Costa Rican coffee.

Dinner is available to guests on Friday and Saturday nights, by advance reservation. Friday is a relaxed "picnic" dinner that can be eaten in the dining room or out on the deck or verandah. Saturday is a casual candlelight supper, served in the dining room as a romantic evening for two.
