Our Guest Reviews

Rumor has it…

{Wow!!! This place is fabulous, the value is beyond belief. Beautiful vistas, gracious hosts and fabulous breakfast. Best B&B I've visited ever. Will absolutely be back with friends and family. BTW, ask about antique treasures available for sale.

Peyton Applegate

{This is one of the most spectacular, special homes you will ever get a chance to see. Cliff and Chris have transformed this beautiful old gal into something that will truly take your breath away. Oh, and to make things even more enticing, they will be opening a bakery in a few months. And if the oatmeal raisin treats are any indication of what’s to come you will want to get on the list for the pies, breads, brioche, croissants, and whatever Chris decides to whip up.

5

Nancy Sullivan

{Chris and Cliff are gracious, accommodating hosts who make you feel far more like an old friend than a stranger. They are so kind, accommodating, and informative, but also give you all of the privacy you may want. I would recommend the Inn at Forest Oaks to anyone heading this way or anyone who is looking for a relaxing and tranquil vacation from which they will come away refreshed and renewed.

Summer B.

{If you’re wanting something special for that special someone here’s a B and B to put at the top of your list. Set in rolling secluded foothills, but close to the interstate the Inn at Forest Oaks is a wonderful escape. Check their site online for a look at the antique furnished rooms and restored mansion. The stay sure made points with my wife! Book your room directly with the Inn and save on your stay.

Paul C.

{As lovers of fine old homes, antiques and natural beauty, we found this B&B was just perfect. It's an old inn that has been painstakingly restored, furnished and decorated by our two hosts Cliff and Chris. A delicious homemade breakfast topped off a stay we will never forget. Noteworthy details: Right off of I-81 in Natural Bridge VA, this Inn is filled with the owner's humongous collection of antiques and furnishings.

Stephen Herrick

{We stayed at the Inn at Forest Oaks for 2 nights and we had the most wonderful time. Cliff and Chris were amazing hosts and made us an amazing breakfast each morning! The room we stayed in was charming, extremely comfortable, and had an amazing view of the mountains. We couldn’t of asked for a better weekend and we can’t wait to book our next stay here.

Angela Brand

{The first bed and breakfast I have ever been to, I spent two nights there for my honeymoon, and it was phenomenal. The atmosphere and the hosts, Cliff and Chris were amazing. I honestly want to make this a yearly tradition. I highly recommend The Inn at Forest Oaks to anyone trying to decide on a historical bed and breakfast to stay in. The entire estate is breathtaking.

Levi Matthews

{This B and B located near Natural Bridge is very incredible. the manor house is stately and furnished with antiques. the owners, Cliff and Chris, are very accommodating and are meticulous in the vibe they create here. the breakfasts were excellent and you will feel right at home, with access to most of the house. the grounds have 4 resident horses, and Molly, the dog. An excellent choice for a relaxing and picturesque mountain/valley retreat.
