Glen Gordon Manor

Our stay at Glen Gordon Manor was everything we anticipated and more. The staff were attentive throughout our stay and made us feel welcomed. The accommodations and “shared” spaces in the manor are spectacular, along with the setting in the Shenandoah Valley. Take the opportunity to explore the beautiful grounds! Our 5-course meal was delicious and beautifully presented. Katie and Colin went above and beyond to be sure we had everything we needed. Looking forward to the next visit!

I did not stay at Glen Gordon Manor, but my friend and I booked massages at the Tack Room Spa. We were immediately impressed by the beautiful grounds and how well maintained the property was. Our massages were wonderful thanks to Erica and Marissa! At checkout, we met Tatiana (sorry if I’m misspelling names). Tatiana was very friendly and helpful when we asked questions about services for both on-site and local guests. We then decided to stay and enjoy the grounds with a cocktail. Tatiana went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and the cocktails were excellent! We had a lovely visit, and the attention to detail and customer service were top notch. Glen Gordon Manor is beautiful with lovely decor as well as beautiful landscaping and gorgeous mountain views. I look forward to returning for dinner and another visit to the beautiful bar. Thank you for a great time!

We had a wonderful long weekend getaway in the Edward Suite, and we can't wait to return! The service was excellent, most notably Colin and Kate, and we were greeted with glasses of champagne and a tour of the beautiful property. The tasting menu and wine pairing were delicious. They thought of every detail and all of the spaces were comfortable and beautiful. Breakfast each morning was different and absolutely wonderful, the detailed and thoughtful service lasted from the minute you wake up until to you retire to your room. The property is lovely as well with some "conversation chickens" and horses including two rescued mustangs. The barn has a spa space as well as a 24-hour gym with Peloton and a massage chair. The Edward Suite was really spacious, clean, and comfortable, and very well appointed. We loved the rain shower, extra "solarium" with comfortable seating, and our private patio space with a brand-new hot tub. Highly recommend the sunset over the mountains from the hot tub. Our second day we went on a hike and Glen Gordon staff packed us a delicious backpack picnic lunch. For the price, which is equivalent to other similar inns in Virginia like the Ashby or the Boar's Head, this is our favorite place by far.

Glen Gordon is quite charming, as promised. The land is beautiful and we enjoyed being close to a generous-sized chicken pen (probably the luckiest chickens alive) as well as 3 beautiful horses. Our couples' massage was perfect and dinner was delicious.||We stayed in The Windsor Room which is quite nice. That said, we wished for: A full length mirror, a safe, a makeup/shaving mirror, bathrobes and a telephone with which to call "the front desk" for a fly swatter. We had 3 flies in the room with us, and I only managed to kill 2 with a sandal.||We arrived early for dinner and were seated right away. Being early, we chose to order pre-dinner cocktails. Unfortunately, we received them just 2 minutes before the waitress insisted on serving our salads. I think they may be a bit "understaffed" there. Also, as we left the building that evening, we both stumbled where the pavement meets the driveway. There is a step down which was totally in the dark. Not good.||All in all, I'd say it's a lovely spot with excellent service. It does have its quirks though, so I give it 4 stars, not 5.

Absolutely gorgeous property! The rooms are well appointed, the food is outstanding - breakfast and dinner - and the staff is so warm and welcoming. We used every amenity, including a fantastic couples massage in the tack room and the beautiful pool. Thank you Michelle and your girls for your warm welcome and for delicious breakfasts each morning. Thank you Scott and Izzy for an outstanding dinner experience! Everyone was wonderful!! Our favorite thing is that the property and food are high end, but not stuffy in any way. It is so comfortable and relaxing. Oh I can't forget "Chicken Vision" - so fun to watch while eating breakfast! We hope to come back soon.

We found Glen Gordon Manor to be even better than we expected. The interior design is magazine worthy. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed a beautifully presented and delicious five course dinner and the breakfast was delightful as well. It was an idyllic few days, indulgent and relaxing.

Tranquility. Though only there for one night, the setting, staff, food and accommodations conspired to provide much needed decompression for us after a few long days during the week. The dinner was one of the best I've had in a very long time and a great value. The well-appointed room was, like the rest of GGM, understated rustic luxury. Cannot say enough good things about the staff. HIGHLY recommend staying with Glen Gordon Manor

Very peaceful and relaxing - perfect for couples or those wanting to escape from the cities etc. Loved the chickens, so entertaining.|Lovely food. Be nice to have a choice though as menus are set.| Outdoor furniture, i.e. parasols by pool etc were falling apart, would be nice to have 3 or 4 especially when weather is really hot for protection whilst around pool.|Loveliest pillows, slept like a dream. Kettle and tea/coffee making facilities would be good in rooms. |Did not miss TV one bit.

Imagine for a moment entering a romantic hunting lodge from the early part of the 1900's. Now imagine a modern and classy version of that same lodge. That's what you get with the Glen Gordon Manor, an elegant, luxurious, and romantic inn and restaurant in the heart of the Shenandoah. We were welcomed warmly by the restaurant manager, Scott, with two glasses of champagne. He gave us a full tour of the property and than showed us to our room. We stayed in the Fyvie room, a detached property within walking distance of the main inn. What made this room amazing, was the large opulent bathroom with a huge soaking tub that fits two people perfectly. We spent practically all afternoon and the following morning in that tub, which felt like a day spa. In addition to the tub, the room featured a bidet, as well as a Sonos surround sound system, which allowed us to play music while relaxing in the room. To finish off the experience, the room featured a private patio overlooking the fields. It was the perfect spot to enjoy an early morning coffee or relax with a book. To enhance our stay, we booked a couples massage, in their newly renovated converted barn spa. The spa featured a massage room, a small advanced fitness center, including a Peloton. The massages were so peaceful and truly enhanced this luxurious and romantic stay. My wife said that the massage truly made her birthday weekend special. And finally, the grand finale, a fine dining experience at the Houndstooth restaurant by chef and owner Dayn Smith. The onsite restaurant is a super intimate candlelit space. We enjoyed a five course tasting menu along with a bottle of local wine. We were more and more impressed with each course that came out. What truly stood out, was the fall squash ravioli and deconstructed halloween dessert. The best part of the dining experience, was the head chef and owners family all worked together to create this experience. His son, Colin, was even one of our servers and was telling us all about his life growing up in restaurants and his future culinary journey. Along with his son, the rest of the staff were absolutely outstanding in service, personality and attention to detail. Even breakfast was unbeatable. The property has free range chickens walking around, which serve as a source of fresh eggs for the morning breakfast. My partner quickly became best friends with the rooster, who likes the left over bread from the previous evenings dinner. We have eaten at many top restaurants in the world and this was surely one of the best dining experiences that we have ever had. So much so, that Patrick O'Connell from the Inn at Little Washington, frequents the establishment... on his rare days off. One thing to note about this property, was it's close proximity to some of Virginia's best wineries and small towns. This makes for a perfect day outing before returning to the inn and relaxing. We highly recommend this inn and restaurant if you are looking to celebrate a special occasion and made to feel very special.

We had a wonderful long weekend getaway in the Edward Suite and can't wait to return! The service was excellent, most notably Colin and Kate, and we were greeted with glasses of champagne and a tour of the beautiful property. The tasting menu and wine pairing were delicious. They thought of every detail, and the spaces were comfortable and beautiful. Breakfast each morning was different and absolutely wonderful; the detailed and thoughtful service lasted from the minute you woke up until you retired to your room. The property is lovely, with some "conversation chickens" and horses, including two rescued mustangs. The barn has a spa space, a 24-hour gym with Peloton, and a massage chair. The Edward Suite was spacious, clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. We loved the rain shower, extra "solarium" with comfortable seating, and our private patio space with a brand-new hot tub. Highly recommend the sunset over the mountains from the hot tub. On our second day, we went hiking, and Glen Gordon staff packed us a delicious backpack picnic lunch. For the price, which is equivalent to other similar inns in Virginia, like the Ashby or the Boar's Head, this is our favorite place by far.

I have stayed at the inn in Little Washington many times, but for the value and experience Glenn Gordon Manor gets my vote in spades. Dayn the chef is terrific. Their multicourse meal was spectacular and all the service between Madison and Kenya, and everyone else was so friendly and down to earth the accommodations were terrific. If you do book here the Kenmere room is the best.

We have found the Tuscany or Napa Valley of the east coast! The view past the pool is enough to sell you on staying here, but the charm inside the inn is inviting as well. What's incredible is the staff here seem to do it all; they'd check us in, then be serving dinner, help us poolside, make our beds, etc. The staff were all really friendly and made such an effort to make sure we enjoyed our stay. I love how the owner/chef also came to serve and explain his dishes showing he's not just hiring others to do it, but that he enjoys seeing his guests too by participating. What brought us here is we need a hotel with a full service restaurant in reach of the rooms, so we can put our 1 year old to bed and then with the baby monitor head to dinner. Even though this inn was full of couples and had a romantic vibe to it, the staff ate up our daughter by giving her all the attention (esp at breakfast, immediately getting an egg or pancakes for her). She particularly loved the chickens and horses on the property, especially the pony Penny who we visited daily. The restaurant Houndstooth is exceptionally good; the plating and quality of the food, along with the service.. an experience from start to finish. They have 3 different dining areas that all have their own vibe... we liked the table right by the window view of the pool. We were disappointed that they don't offer a la carte menu because the price for their 5 course meal is very steep. We believe this is why the turnover of customers is high here because they don't have the option for a la carte. We opted for 5 course meal two nights despite it being over budget and though it was very enjoyable, I felt a bit guilty how over budget it was for us. But YOLO when on vacation Lol. Pro tip! They have board games in their public bathroom if you're looking to hang in the lounge area. Also towels for the pool in there. Thank you for a homey wonderful stay with beautiful views!

Just got home from staying at Glen Gordon Manor. I wanted to write a review because it was so fantastic ! The grounds were breath taking and relaxing and so charming ! Walking around was absolutely beautiful and peaceful . The staff was beyond friendly and accommodating ! The rooms were large, cute and had everything you needed . Breakfast was 830-930 am and they made you a breakfast that was delicious and the eggs came from the cute hens they had as pets! There were gorgeous horses o. the property and my family had fun feeding the friendly horses! Anyway, had to write what a fabulous time we had .... we wish we could have stayed longer and had the dinner there , as it looked amazing but we were only in town a few days for a wedding! If you are considering staying here ..... do it... you won't be disappointed !!!

This is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway in the Virginia mountains. The pool, with mountain views, was divine. Breakfast was delicious, and Michelle was kind enough to send us off with a few recipes. Walking around the grounds at sunset was magical. Simply can't say enough about how lovely Glen Gordon Manor is!

The Glen Gordon Manor is a B&B located in the Shenandoah Valley. This place has been on my list for a while to check out, and for a birthday weekend celebration, the hubs and I were able to book our stay. This place was once a Wells Fargo stagecoach stop, the main house holds the dining area, a nice selection of books that you can borrow, as well as a large sitting area, in which you can also request to hear more about the history behind the grounds. There are rooms and suites you can choose from, and we stayed at the Windsor Suite, which was located a few steps away. Our suite looked like the pictures - having a king-sized bed, a soaking tub with a separate marble two-headed shower, twin pedestal sinks, a water closet with a bidet, a mini fridge, an iPad that is connected to surround sound, and bathrobes. Checking-in was a breeze, and the front staff were so welcoming and super sweet. We did find some off/odd things about our suite, though, as there were toilet paper rolls 'hanging' off the bathroom decor, the bidet was unclean/rust-like, damp hand towels on the sink, and the window sills being extremely dusty, and the shower smelling like mildew. We did let the front staff know, and they were extremely apologetic - just thought that there would be more attention to detail and higher quality control due to the rates of the room. The soaking tub was large, and it did look out to the back where there are some horses that are milling around - so cute! Just note that if you had the intention to enjoy the views of the horses while taking a bath, privately, beware! There were visitors/guests who were walking around the grounds near the bathroom windows - having the blinds drawn at all times was necessary! There was no TV in the room, which was great if you really wanted to focus on disconnecting for a bit. There are plenty of spots to park your car on the gravel lots that they have. I recommend in foregoing in staying in their suites and focus on having a wonderful dinner at their restaurant, the Houndstooth - probably one of the best meals I've had in a while! Chef Smith is extremely talent and a wonderful chef, and his courses are absolutely divine and delicious! Definitely a great place to have a date night or to celebrate. +book at the Houndstooth! +bypass staying in the suites +friendly staff

Simply the best. Forget The Inn at little Washington. This is in an old inn only has 5 tables in main room. One menu and one sitting but the attention to detail is incredible. Just look at the menu and the food. I have a happy tummy. It's not cheap and it's far away BUT with the money and the drive.

Idyllic and romantic spot off the beaten path. Absolutely perfect for a recharge. The property is stunning. The main house is gorgeous. Breakfast in the morning was fresh and delicious. The common spaces are cozy and still private. The rooms are spectacular. There are so many little spots to explore and enjoy. The chef will even chop up carrots for you to feed the horses on the property. This place was a fantastic find

Ok, it's been...far too long since I've re-visited this review. I'm happy to say that I'm still just as pleased as I was with my first visit! The accommodations: no matter which room you choose, they are all lovely. They are all very different, and located in different parts of the manor (or in the cottage or separately). My personal preference is the Windsor, located in the cottage. Luxurious (and honestly one of the most comfortable - I actually asked the innkeepers about the mattress) king bed, relaxing blue-gray tones, an enormous bathroom with a soaking tub that overlooks the mountains and horses. We've also stayed in the Wallis, which was very nice too. Even larger bathroom! The service: just great. Chef Dayn and Nancy are willing to go out of their way to make you comfortable. This past visit, we requested a cheese plate to enjoy in front of the fire, which they built for us upon request. We've also done the same thing, but by the pool in the summer! Most recently, Chef installed a very cool wine cellar - make sure you check it out. The food: incredible. The breakfasts are impeccably prepared, and they aren't kidding about the free-range chickens - they really do run around the back of the property and you can always see a fresh bowl of eggs in the kitchen. The dinners, though - as others have said, these are fine dining at its best, and with excellent wine pairings if you so choose. We try to visit every season - the menu changes quite frequently. Glen Gordon Manor is a place I found on accident but one I keep returning to!

Everything about this stay was excellent! We came as a birthday celebration and stayed a couple of nights. A couple of weeks out, staff from the Inn called to pre-arrange our stay and ensure everything was set for meals and our stay. We chose to stay in a suite and upon arrival, Brian did an EXCELLENT job giving us a tour of the Inn and going over all the amenities and various features of the Inn and the room we stayed in. The pictures of the room don't do it justice, it's so much more impressive in-person! The bed was VERY comfy and perfectly adorned with luxury linens! Curtains in the room were made of beautiful, heavy fabric with nice shades behind them. The room featured an iPad, which could be used to surf the web, as they have free wifi throughout, but it was also playing on their Sonos system when we arrived, so we had awesome jazz playing in our room the entire stay (select the music of your choice!)! The room was very clean and perfectly decorated! There was a fridge, which was great for the free bottles of water provided by the Inn, as well as Reidel wine glasses, which were great for wine to enjoy in your room. The amenities in the bathroom were very nice! Soap, body wash and shampoo has an amazing scent! Plenty of space in our bathroom, with a separate shower and toilet (water closet) area and tub and sinks, featuring a large clawfoot tub. Beautiful art through the property as well as our room. Lots of amazing views from the bedroom and various common areas of the Inn, as their grounds are beautiful, as are the mountains which seem to be visible from nearly every window. The included breakfast was absolutely incredible! Dayn prepares something different and unique everyday, using fresh, tasty ingredients and service during breakfast was friendly and outstanding! They have a beautiful pool with lounging chairs and umbrellas to enjoy a nice book (they have a large bookcase with very interesting reads in the main hall!), a drink poolside or a dip in the pool. Since they have a full bar and an amazing wine list, you can enjoy drinks from either while at the pool or around their grounds. There's also a nice area out back to spend the evening around a fire pit or even dine at one of their many outside dining tables. The entire stay was incredible and very nicely priced! We can't wait to return!

This place is amazing. Beautiful grounds and fantastic scenery. They have chickens and horses on site (two miniature ponies were our favorite) and we were visited by deer in the evening. You simply must book dinner at the restaurant. Five incredible courses -- some of the best food I've ever had. Excellent service all around.

Small hotel with a full service restaurant and a staff that is five star worthy. The rooms were spacious. My only complaint was our room could of had a king bed, there was enough room for it. We stayed three nights, loved the area of the hotel, the grounds of the hotel. I also think a few options at breakfast would of been nice. Although we made a few special requests and got them all. So again. The staff was very superb. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a romantic getaway in the Tuscany of the north east. So many Vinyards near by, and perfect weather.

Stayed here over a long weekend to celebrate an anniversary. Fantastic gem of an inn nestled away in Virginia wine country. Upon arrival we received a quick tour, with some history of the inn and accommodations. The property is peaceful and quiet, great place to relax and unwind. A hearty breakfast was served each morning and the bar has some great cocktails in the evening. On our last night we had an amazing gourmet meal in the Houndstooth restaurant. Highly recommend!

Quiet setting, hunting lodge, horses, chickens, all locally sourced food. Beautifully appointed rooms. Kind and friendly staff. Reserve an intimate candlelit table for two and enjoy the delicious 5 course dinner. Comfy robes. Fantastic pool, great local wineries. Full service bar all day up to close of restaurant. Only suggestion, stay in the farthest room from the front door, lots of foot traffic.

A wonderful place to go to rest and recharge. The staff is attentive from the moment you walk in until the moment you say good. The food: the food! Superb cuisine presented perfectly. On top of all that, the rooms are beautiful and well-appointed and designed to promote maximum rest and relaxation. The vistas are beautiful and the animals add a sense of peace and fullness that I hope you will carry with you for longer than you will believe. We cannot wait to return.

From start to finish, our anniversary trip expectations were exceeded during our stay at Glen Gordon. Upon arrival to the lovely almost 50 acre manor, the beauty of Glen Gordon is all around the property both inside and out. Michelle was a wonderful first impression upon opening the door for check-in and welcoming us for a tour of the property accompanied by a glass of champagne. She was like an old friend and accommodated all our needs during our stay. Her team is wonderful in hospitality and serving their guests. We loved our breakfast each morning overlooking the property with fresh eggs from the chickens on the manor. The pool was timeless and relaxing for reading and enjoying the beautiful weather. We booked a couples massage that was amazing to recharge and relax while on vacation. We used the great fitness room that had all we needed during our stay as well. The cocktail bar was lovely for a pre-dinner drink at the amazing Houndstooth Restaurant on site at the manor. We had dinner one night of our stay for the five course prix fixe meal and it was a meal we will talk about for a very long time. It was Theater at the dinner table and each course was better than the previous. We kept pinching ourselves throughout the meal as it was incredible on both presentation and taste. We can't speak highly enough of the talent of chef/owner Dayn Smith. We long to come back and stay and eat at Glen Gordon Manor. The people and the place well exceeded our expectations! Thank you all so very much for making our 10th anniversary trip so memorable and special. Tyler and Lindsey

A fabulous memorable meal from start (amazingly creative and delicious cocktail menu) to end (a rich chocolate dessert with a vibrant berry sorbet). We did not stay at the Manor, but were only dinner guests, celebrating a small wedding. Our expectations were high and GGM exceeded it on every account. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming; service was good without being overly attentive and the food in the 5-course dinner was sublime. As good (maybe even better?) than some of the nearby highly-rated restaurants. We will return...eagerly!

I had a fantastic 2-night stay at Glen Gordon Manor with my hubs for our babymoon! The property is absolutely gorgeous -- a sprawling landscape of green and trees, easy to navigate, and close to a lot of businesses and places just a short drive away. It's very easy to access Skyline Drive/Shenandoah National Park, and they have lots of suggestions for shopping, hiking, and the like close by. They have the most adorable chickens running around, as well as horses (and a shetland pony!) on property as well. The rooms are really charming and beautifully appointed. We paid a little bit extra for one of the larger suites -- the Wallis Suite -- and it was enormous and gorgeous. You can definitely go for one of the more basic options though if you're not planning on spending a ton of time in your room. We had dinner at the Manor on the first night, and it was a delicious, farm-fresh affair. Dinner took quite a while, but each dish was delicious and surprising! The chef also took the time and care to personally adjust my menu slightly since, y'know, pregnant. Breakfast each morning was delightful and super fresh as well. Love that they use their own eggs, their own honey, etc. Made everything so authentic, local, and full of love. We also booked a couple's massage, which took place inside the converted barn and was very relaxing. I highly recommend Glen Gordon Manor as a less-expensive (but still treat-yo-self-esque) alternative to staying at, say, the Inn at Little Washington. I loved our stay and can definitely see ourselves returning to celebrate special occasions, or even just get away for a bit in the future!

My husband and I stayed here one night and had the most wonderful experience. The people are so friendly. The house and grounds are Beautiful! The food: dinner and breakfast, were delicious. The pool is so pretty and the mountains in the background make it spectacular. There are lots of places to hang out in the house and socialize if you are coming with friends. There are 2 wineries within 5 minutes and many many more a short distance away. And at the end of the trip, my husband tells me he never wants to stay at another place again because nothing will be as nice as this. We've been all over VA, MD, DC, PA, NY staying at different B&Bs but none compare to this place. It's truly exceptional. I was having sensory overload with the beauty of it all. I'm so happy to have found this place to get away.

The Glen Gordon Manor (GGM) is simply one classy joint. Let me just say this review is long overdue. We booked the Runaway Romance Package for August 2018. Everything the establishment promised was delivered. The entire mini ceremony was well planned and stress free. We had two prior discussions prior to the August Wedding date to have everything in order. The stay was remarkable the owner (Dayne) provided us more than we had been promised. ( Don't think it would be my place to discuss how flexible and classy Dayne is. You'll have to meet him for yourself!) We stayed two nights, the one night prior to the wedding and the evening of the wedding. Breakfast is included in the stay. GGM is a nice quiet and well kept. The employees are charming and accommodating. The surroundings are beautiful and clean. On the Wedding Day - We were provided a Justice Of the Peace (Mary) who orchestrated the ceremony and was so kind. She made herself available to answer any questions and even provided assistance on a relatives wedding which was going to be held in September. We had privacy and excellent service on the joyous and memorable day! The Wedding Meal was definitely a highlight! Despite having a small party of 10 we had multiple different diets which were all accommodated. (Of course, we can't keep up with people's diets). Everyone complimented on the varieties of wine and beautiful INDIVIDUAL menus multiple courses which were laid out. The meal was definitely memorable to all of us! Dayne happens to be the chef! We concluded with a delicious customized cake! We are very grateful we choose Glen Gordon Manor for our wedding. They also offer dinner for guests and by appointment. We could write more but it would not do this place justice. If you're simply looking for a fine establishment to get married, lodging, or/and dining Glen Gordon Manor is the place to book!

My daughter and I have found our favorite place in the Virginia countryside! We loved staying at Glen Gordon Manor. This is the horse and country estate that Wallis Simpson and King Edward escaped to for fox hunting. This is the most luxurious and down to earth spot we have ever found. The food is prepared by a world renowned chef and breakfast is impeccable. I hope that we are able to have dinner with Chef Dayne Smith the next time we stay at Glen Gordon -- and there WILL BE a next time!

Beautifully located just miles from Skyline Drive. My fiancé surprised me with a 3 night stay in the Huntley suite and it was absolutely perfect. During our stay we ate breakfast with incredible views and an amazing menu. Do not miss out! Our dinner menu for New Year's Eve was an exceptional 5 course experience from the incredible chef and owner of the Manor. We would like to thank the staff for such great service and the detail behind everything they did and prepared. We finished our stay with a couples massage and highly recommend booking one! We will be back!

Loved this place! We had a cottage that was absolutely beautiful (loved the bathroom!) . We were greeted at our check on with a glass of Champaign to accompany us on a guided tour of the Estate and our well appointed room. The Chef was busy in the kitchen making dinner for the evening service and acknowledged us as we went past his kitchen. We had dinner the next night and it was fabulous- elegant, beautiful and worthy of a gourmand. We really enjoyed walking around the beautiful estate and watching the chickens run around the property. Very peaceful retreat . Highly recommended!

This place is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are Country style cozy, the sitting rooms are plush and inviting, and there are fireplaces all over. I was there for a photo shoot for SHE! Magazine, and the staff treated us like royalty. Michelle makes the most delicious coffee and hot chocolate, and her co-workers couldn't have been more helpful. Be sure to check out the floral ceiling in the second sitting room. It's incredible. I'll absolutely be going back. For dinner and maybe a long weekend!

Absolutely wonderful B&B. The food is to die for and the staff is just lovely

We enjoyed an excellent 3 night stay at Glen Gordon Manor and really didn't want to leave. The property is serene with stunning views of the Shenandoah Valley and Mountains. Most importantly the owners and staff are the most gracious, inviting and hospitable we've met. Owner Nancy, who served as our master host, ensures you have everything you need to make your stay excellent. Owner/Chef Dayn ensures you have a wonderful culinary experience from start to finish. The gourmet breakfasts were one beautiful way to start the day. The dinner was top notch. The staff all around were gracious and helpful as we planned our visit to the area. We are already planning our return visit!

What a great find! In Huntley Virginia, this was absolutely the nicest B&B we have ever stayed in. Not your typical one either. We walked in and went looking around and found the chef Dane and his wife Nancy in the kitchen and we hit it off right away. For me hanging in the kitchen and talking food with a 5 star chef was so cool. The place is 50 acres and you can walk around or hang at the private pool. Really who has a pool? The rooms were all well appointed and very comfy. Didnt stay for the 5 course dinner but the breakfast was so original from the carrot bread to a yogurt and fruit parfait leading up a to perfectly cooked egg on a home made arrepas and a small chunk of short ribs. Everything from start to finish was great. Even got to feed the horses!

This place deserves 6 stars. My wife and I were looking for a place to spend some quality time. Our first trip without our kids since our 3 year old was born. GGM did not disappoint. The manor itself is tasteful and elegant and immaculately clean. You'd never know that the owners 2 kids also live there. And if you do run into them, they're exceedingly polite. The rooms are nicely decorated as are the common spaces. The bed (Wallis suite) was comfortable and the bathroom adorned with heated floors, great tile work and nice fixtures. The manor grounds are well kept and the road around the property serves as a nice walking loop. There are a number or horses on the property and the owners were more than willing to let us interact with and feed them. The views of the mountains and countryside are magnificent. The pace of life seems to slow down here, at least for the guests. The food. Is. FANTASTIC. Dayn, owner and chef, produces fantastic dish after fantastic dish. The food that came out of the kitchen was to die for. 5 or 6 dishes for dinner depending on the night. All of them leaving you wanting for more. I don't think anything else needs to be said. The food is a 10. They also have an extensive wine list. The service is terrific. They cater to your needs with a smile every time. Whether its helping you to plan a day trip or doing whatever they can to make your trip more enjoyable. My wife and I can't wait to go back.

This place has the most beautiful grounds. From the moment you drive in, you'll feel relaxed looking at the Blue Ridge Mountains. Everything here was perfect-- the food, the rooms, the hospitality. They even have horses here. Everything was wonderful and I can't wait to come back!

I had dinner here this weekend and it was a delicious treat, food paired perfectly with wine. Such a great variety of food in the four courses, plus a great dessert course. Terrific relaxing atmosphere at this place. I'd love to stay here for a long weekend some time. I would recommend the restaurant at Glen Gordon Manor to anyone for a special occasion. The wine pairing is optional but well worth it.

Our two night stay was absolutely fabulous in every way! We arrived late in the evening and were greeted by staff who showed us around the property and made us feel extremely welcome in our spotless and well appointed room! In the morning, coffee was delivered to us in our room by Michele and Rashina. This is a dynamic mother and daughter team that did an incredible job serving breakfast and making us feel so welcome. We took our coffee and walked around the property and fed the horses some apples from the ground and then watched the chickens being fed. The scenery on this property is incredibly beautiful, even from our bedroom window! Breakfast was a gourmet class act! We loved everything about our stay and will definitely return. Many thanks to the lovely duo of Michele and Rashina for their exceptional customer service and the "specialness" they brought to our stay. They made us feel like part of the family!!! The staff will welcome you with open arms! Additionally, our son stayed in the cottage for his wedding night and it was absolutely stunning!!! It is a very beautiful and huge space! I highly recommend upgrading to the cottage for a wedding or anniversary!!!

Stayed here for 2 nights for a soft honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The breakfast and dinner were high end - DC high quality cuisine. We stayed in the Windsor which was emaculate, private and gorgeous. Will definitely be back here

I have stayed at Glen Gordon several times. The grounds, rooms and staff are all exceptional. Dane is a amazing chef and his wife Nancy a wonderful host. Everything is first class. Enjoy your visit.

Celebrated a birthday here with some special friends and it was a huge success. The menu was spectacular, from the cold pea soup to my favorite black peppercorn souffle! We were greeted by amazing owner Nancy Moon and staff Mary with wine, and taken to our private dining area. Glen Gordon Manor has an absolutely gorgeous view inside and out. Can't wait to plan our next event, dinner, or weekend. Thanks to Chef Dayn Smith for an amazing birthday dinner!

Spectacular. My wife and I came here for our "baby moon" and it was perfect. The whole time we kept thinking about the next time we can come back. Very quaint and private. Staff is especially attentive and gracious. Perfect for DC-based couples looking for a quick getaway.

The food was great!! All the dishes were carefully prepared and presented. The wine list was extensive with prices for all budgets. Service was also friendly and attentive. The dining room was relaxed so overall a great birthday experience. We'll go back again for dinner and possibly spend the night.

My husband and I booked the Wine Country Date Night Special and could not have been more pleased with our stay! As a fan of the culinary world (and the CIA/NY) I was hoping for a creative and interesting dining experience, combined with a luxurious environment and was not disappointed. It's all here - great food, the beautiful blue ridge mountains, and lots of wineries nearby to choose from. Next time we plan to stay longer and perhaps try a cooking class or two. It was really cold out so we didn't go hiking this trip, but are also planning that for next time. There is also a spa to take advantage of, but we just curled up near the fire place with some good books and cocktails. (Those with dietary restrictions or allergies are requested to provide that information ahead of time.)

On par with the Inn At Little Washington but more intimate. From the moment we drove up we were spoiled with champagne and a personal tour of the manor. The hallways are lined with books, including a great selection of cookbooks. Plenty of comfy nooks to read and drink tea. The entire manor is really well-decorated. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The service is phenomenal and the food is wonderfully presented and perfectly cooked. Well worth a visit.

We paid another visit to Glen Gordon the other night and again we leave and ask ourselves why do we even consider dining elsewhere...it's that good! Dane started us off with an outrageous small plate of a seafood paella with a marinated prawn on the top...he toasted it a little bit which made the saffron rice just crunchy enough. Then we had some curried, foamy, squash soup...YUM. Next was a roasted sun-choke salad with all kinds of tasty tidbits. Then he served us a luscious piece of King Salmon which had been marinated and then put into the sous-vide(sp?)...it melted in our mouths. He followed that with a chunk of strip steak which was lightly smoked and again sous vide and finished on the stovetop! Just unbelievable. They paired some terrific wines that made the whole experience heavenly...I'm just sayin, ya gotta try this place!

My husband and I enjoyed a quick getaway to this beautiful estate. The owners are incredibly welcoming, and the entire staff is just as wonderful. Our room was lovely and dinner delicious. Breakfast the next morning was the perfect conclusion to our stay at Glen Gordon Manor. We would highly recommend to any of our friends and family. We are actually headed back in a couple of weeks!! --- Mike and Trish F.

Absolutely cannot Wait to return here. Had a beautiful wedding weekend here, with nonstop service from the amazing staff. Thanks to their constant attention to detail, everything came off without a hitch. The property is just beautiful to enjoy and relax (Check out reviews on Tripadvisor!) Also can't recommend the restaurant enough - the food is just to die for, five star quality all around, with an impressive wine list. Looking forward to another romantic getaway Soon!

I am a fan! Very enjoyable dinner at Glen Gordon, very easy to get to from the DC area, mid week less then 90 mins, so easy to do for their 7pm seating. Food was honest, varied and full of flavor, portions were the right size for us to feel very satisfied. Wine's were all good and enjoyable stand alone but the pairings were not as well matched as they could have been to the flavorful dishes. Service was very good with just the right amount of engagement, not stuffy and left enough time between courses for my wife and I to enjoy each others company. Well worth the trip and we will be back.

I cannot believe that this place doesn't have any reviews yet!!!! I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful B&B located under 1.5hours from Washington DC. It is fairly close to the Shenandoah National Park, and accessible from Rt. 66W. I was looking for a mini-vacation getaway that would be under 3 hours drive from where we live, and where we could do some outdoor-sy stuff, like canoeing and horseback riding. After doing a ton of googling and B&B searches and came upon 4 places that we narrowed down to, one of which was this place. First thing I noticed, when we arrived is that its a pretty unassuming location and property, which is right up my alley. I have never been a fan of anything that "tries" really hard to look impressive. It sits back off the road and has abotu 50 acres, so you have to drive in to the house on the property. Its a beautifully renovated 18th century (if I remember correctly) home with a cottage and guest house on the property and horse stables. The current owner has 3 horses and 2 ponies. The innkeeper was a young hip, totally down to Earth chef that is helping his uncle, who is also a chef run the place. Do let the pictures fool you, their food looks and tastes THAT good, check the site for examples. Once we spoke to them more, turns out these two ( the nephew and uncle) are these two very accomplished worldly exquisite chefs. I can't speak to their resumes, but I'm fairly snobby about food and quality, and I will say that they are THAT good. 5 star in my opinion. He taught me so much about different foods and even sent me home with a sample of chinese five spice he gets from some awesome distributor that i'm pretty sure i, as a normal food sapien, would never have access to. I also got to sample his caramel ice cream that he MADE and he gave me recipes! When it comes to the property, we stayed in the Windsor Suite, (which isn't in the main house, but in the cottage) which is considered their most romantic room, for couples. It is constructed in one longer room, when you walk in there is seating area to your right, and a bar-like area to your left with a fridge underneath and wine glasses ready and waiting (wine comes with your stay!!!). The top-of-the-line bed/linens sits inthe middle of the room and there are double closets as you go into the bathroom area. To the left in the bathroom area is the toiley and badee (sp?) and to the right, a stone-tiled, all glass two-person spacious walk-in shower. Straight ahead is this massive window, overlooking the grassy nolls where hte horses are playing. In front of that is a huge 2-person Kohler tub. There are his and her sinks and they stock the room with high quality towels, top of the line coffees and teas and any kind of personal care product you need. Where's the TV you ask? Well, they don't have one, because they have an iPAD in their suites instead, stocked with subscriptions to several major newspapers and a netflix subscription that you have full access to. So not only can you watch a movie and cuddle in bed, you can take the iPAD in the double bath and watch a movie while you soak!!! It was renovated 6 months ago, so not only is it beautiful it feels totally new and clean as well. On to the food: We loved hte family that runs this place so much that we got caught up hanging out with them in the kitchen of the main house, and missed letting them know we wanted to stay for their dinner! Without wine pairing it costs $85, which may sound steep, but the other option is hte world-renowned Inn at Little Washington at a whopping $188/pp, which was not an option for us. So since we missed dinner we had to go out for dinner, but the breakfast the next morning more than made up for it. The owner/chef, Dayn, personally made, plated, and delivered our plates to us in teh main dining area. Our table was finely dressed, cloth napkins iwth holders and set with all the appropriate silver wear and plates. We had fresh squeezed orange juice and water waiting, then he brought us fresh baked zuchini bread and banana bread (best i've EVER had!!). He then brought us coffee, and not just any coffee this was some of the best coffee I've ever had. I'm a food snob, but coffee is something I've never cared much for, until I started working. It was fresh pressed, lightly sweetened and creamed, and had a foam top. We then got our first course: poached/roasted pear, home made granola, and strained greek yogurt, plated iwth honey swirl, raspberries and mint. A-MA-ZING. Our next course was duck confit, paoched egg with hollandaise sauce, and corn and wild rice pancakes. A-MA-ZING. My boyfriend is a skeptic of everything, but he nearly licked the plate. I can't express enough how this is the most amazing meal I have had in forever, but honestly, they are more amazing people. To have your whole family and children around strangers, and being so giving, was touching. They are great people and a 10 thumbs up B&B!!!

Just returned from a amazing weekend celebrating our 10th anniversary at the Glen Gordon Manor. The accommodations and meals were exquisite. The staff took great care to ensure that our every need was addressed quickly and accurately. The Chef did a fantastic job with preparing an amazing 5 course meal and pairing wines that complimented each selection. Finally, breakfast is included with the fee for lodging. We will definitely return in the future!

One of the best meals these DC foodies have ever had! Love love love this place. For food, incredible wine list and B&b. If you are looking for a place in VA wine country... Or really for any reason- this is it! LOVE.

UPDATE: Dinner @ Glen Gordon Manor, Houndstooth Restaurant! Just returned to Glen Gordon Manor for the fantastic prix fixe dinner plus wine pairings. Fantastic food, serene setting and a wonderful value for 5 brilliant courses. We went as family and had a marvelous time, and this is a perfect spot for a romantic dinner to celebrate that special birthday or anniversary. Thanks to chef Dayn Smith and co-proprietor Nancy Moon for making our experience so special! ORIGINAL REVIEW-- The Inn! : Glen Gordon Manor is *the* perfect Virginia country inn. Visit and fall in love-- under 90 minutes from D.C. And yes, all these 5 star reviews are spot on. Think of Glen Gordon for a couples weekend, a mid-week getaway, a luxury dinner or venue for a romantic wedding, vows renewal or special event. It's also a perfect place to stay for those who have booked pp the dinner at the famed Inn at Little Washington-- the drive from Glen Gordon to the Inn is 15 minutes or fewer. We visited Glen Gordon on a Monday and Tuesday in late September. Here's what we loved: -The Edward suite, spacious and equipped with a four post bed, an outdoor jacuzzi and a private patio. Glen Gordon has a number of suites-- we recommend them. -The grounds. Breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge mountains from 46 acres of pasture. -The horses. Ask for carrots and apples to feed them. -The outdoor pool, ringed by towering trees and enhanced with comfortable seating. We had hot weather when we visited, and the pool is the perfect place to cool off. -The cuisine. Proprietor Dayn Smith is a world class chef, and our 3 course breakfast (homemade blueberry and banana breads, a yogurt and berry parfait, and eggs Benedict) were superb. The honey in the parfait was from the inn's hives, and the eggs were from the free range chickens on the premises. Next time, we'll also be taking advantage of Glen Gordon's five course dinner menu with wine pairings. -The history and decor of the property. Glen Gordon dates from 1833, when it served as a wayfaring inn. More recently, as a private country home, it welcomed Edward, Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson, the woman for whom he surrendered the British crown. Acquired by Dayn Smith and Nancy Moon in 2006, the property has been restored and redecorated by Moon in a timeless style that mixes historic and modern pieces. The result is soothing, chic and very comfortable. -The hospitality. You'll be offered a glass of champagne on arrival and invited to relax in the kitchen and tour the inn with Dayn Smith. Nancy Moon is welcoming and kindly. Michelle, who serves breakfast and keeps the guest rooms in order, is a delight. Tommy Clements, the grounds keeper, will give you friendly directions around the property. In short, everyone on staff will extend themselves to make sure that you lack for nothing. Our sole error was in staying at Glen Gordon for only one night. We'll be back for a longer visit next time.

The five course dinner with wine pairings is outstanding. I am hard-pressed to think of a finer dinner. The Edward suite is lovely and the bed is very comfortable. This is a lovely country inn experience in a beautiful part of Virginia.

We just spent a wonderful, relaxing weekend at Glen Gordon Manor. The food was excellent, the owners and all the staff went out of their way to be warm and helpful. We just hung out at the pool most of Saturday and relaxed. If your taste is for fantastic but NOT stuffy or precious, this is a real find. Just incredibly relaxing,, lovely location, and very special. We will be back!
