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.

We hope you'll be able to visit us soon. We'll do all we can to make your stay a happy one.
