Tour

The Porches is best described by the comments of those who have stayed here:

"The perfect place--exactly what I was looking for: a beautiful spot to contemplate, to get away, and to write. The Porches has a grand history and lots of personality."

"What a glorious week! Writing, relaxing on the porch with a good glass of Virginia wine, hiking, reading, revising, reading some more, and writing, writing, writing."

"A quiet beautiful setting to relax in and at the same time to accomplish much."

"Hummingbirds, the distant rush of the rapids, a train winding its way through the valley, a full moon over the historic church and old graveyard. A unique retreat!"
