Amenities for a Relaxing stay
The Inn
Immerse yourself in Nelson County’s rich history with a luxury Bed and Breakfast experience. Steeped in history, our Inn has been a part of the Lovingston community since it was originally built in 1874 as the private home of a prestigious Virginia State Judge and, after three generations, renovated into the boutique Bed and Breakfast that you see today. Nestled in the heart of Lovingston, VA, every corner of the Orchard House B&B tells a story.
Relax in the comfy adirondack chairs gazing up at the endless skies, take a dip in the pool, stroll through our one-acre vineyard, relax in the gazebo, listen to the frogs chirping from the pond, watch for the beautiful birds that flit from one bird feeder to the next, or rock on the sprawling front porch while soaking up our amazing views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Weddings & Events
The Orchard House Bed and Breakfast is one of the most enchanting wedding venues in Virginia, offering a historic estate, a newly renovated barn, a vineyard, and picturesque grounds. Our 14-acre property features stunning ceremony and reception spaces, a gazebo, a pond, and a vintage tree swing. With nine elegant rooms for up to 18 guests, we provide an unforgettable setting for weddings, elopements, and bachelorette weekends. Learn more.

What a lovely place! A beautiful historic farmhouse converted into a cozy, comfortable B and B where the host, Sarah makes you feel like family.
We were spoilt with delicious home-cooked gourmet breakfasts which differed daily. The location is beautiful with vineyard, tree, and mountain views from the fire pit, and you feel like you are in the country while still conveniently close to shops and restaurants. We heartily recommend it!

Hey mamas of daughters! We want to let you know about a retreat that we are hosting at The Orchard House Bed & Breakfast August 1-3!
The retreat is a mother/daughter retreat called Wonderfully Made - Where Ordinary Girls Find Their Extraordinary Worth as Daughters of the King.
The weekend will be based loosely off of the book The Ordinary Princess but the whole weekend will be filled with truth from the gospel of who the girls are as God’s daughters. We will be hosting lovely dinners, a tea party, swim party, watercolor class, etc. It’s going to be so amazing! My mom is coming from CA to run it with me and she is incredible! We only have 4 rooms left and I don’t want you to miss it!
Aug 1-3
Ages 5+

We truly have the best guests! Jude and Cheryl came out this past weekend from Florida for a wedding and we so enjoyed getting to meet them! They visited local wineries, spent time at the Walton museum, shopped and then went to a wedding at the gorgeous @lovingstonwinery 🤎
Welcome to Sunset Serenity! (Swipe to the last couple of pictures for the before)
Guests love this room because it has incredible natural light that pours in from the wall to wall windows!
From the custom woodwork on the walls and ceiling and the stunning views, this room is definitely a favorite. 🤎
