Hummingbird Inn

My wife and I got engaged at the Hummingbird Inn back in June 2014. We found it online and knew it was the perfect place for a romantic and special occasion kinda weekend. Fast forward ten years later and here we are, back at the Hummingbird Inn celebrating our 10 year engagement anniversary. In the past ten years, we have traveled far and wide, to hotels, restaurants, national parks and overseas. We had no idea what to expect about the Hummingbird Inn after being to so many places since than. Once we arrived, the Hummingbird Inn was not only just as romantic as we remember, but even better than we remember. There is just something about this place that is so serene and peaceful; the details that go into every room and feature are spectacular. This by far is the best place to rekindle the fire with that special someone. As for the location, the inn is located in a small secluded mountain town with a nearby train that passes by once a day, which added to the quaint romantic atmosphere. You can easily explore the Shenandoah and come back to enjoy a nice bottle of wine on the deck or their newly designed gazebo, built by the owners themselves. The jetted tub in the Alleghany room is still one of the nicest tubs that we have ever had. The new owners, Sandra and Jeff, have done an amazing job at maintaining and adding to this beautiful bed and breakfast. Sandra, with a hospitality background, is a very bubbly, friendly and gracious host, giving you a list of things to do in the area. Jeff, with a carpentry background, maintains everything beautifully. Each of their breakfasts were delicious and super accommodating in terms of dietary restrictions. For instance, I wanted plant based meat instead of real meat and they accommodated that request. They even acknowledged our anniversary by giving us some complimentary soap that they sold exclusively at the inn. In addition to soap, they also provide the purchase of their linens, some of the best linens that you will ever experience. We are very thankful to have returned to our little piece of heaven after all these years. Thanks to Sandra and Jeff, our piece of romantic paradise still exists to this day and has many years to go. We plan to celebrate every milestone anniversary at the Hummingbird Inn…no matter what or where life takes us.

Our first time staying at this beautiful Inn was 7 years ago and we absolutely loved Sandra, who is so welcoming, and the comfort we felt at the Inn. The multiple sitting rooms are so beautiful to enjoy tea, conversation, or cosy up with a blanket in front of a warm fire. Since then, we’ve talked about returning, and with our anniversary this month, everything fell into place to return. Our recent visit was just as wonderful as before. Sandra personalizes and put so much care into all the little details…names on a placeholder outside our room, a personal note written in an anniversary card with chocolates and candles, everything you could possible need for toiletries and even earplugs if the occasional train wakes you up. Breakfast is served at 9:00 around one family table, but coffee and scones are out by 7:00. We LOVE the gathering at the table and both visits have felt warm and inviting, walking away with a feeling of treasured connections. As Goshen is a small town in a beautiful setting, there is so much to do within a 30 minute drive…Lexington and Warm Springs (a beautiful small town and the Omni Homestead- a must do is the healing baths!). 1 hr away is the beautiful Falling Springs Falls, Humpback covered bridge, and the Greenbrier Resort.

Sandra and Jeff treated us like family so much so that we didn't want to leave! Their home is wonderful with the sound of a creek right behind. Close to major hiking and kayaking adventures. Plenty of privacy as well. If we're ever in the area again, we'll look forward to staying again! (Might plan a trip in the area just to stay at Hummingbird.) Paul and Linda, Middlefield OH
