Blackthorne Inn
Blackthorne Inn was originally known as Greystone House, this property was the site of considerable fighting during the Civil war then in 1775 Lord Fairfax deeded the land to George Washington for survey work. When the former owners purchased the property in 1970, the front door still bore scars where Yankee soldiers had kicked it in.
Nestled in the foothills of the magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains, Blackthorne Inn is ideally located on 45 spectacular acres of sweeping lawns, brilliant gardens, rolling meadows and lush woodlands. The original section of this extraordinary stone Inn dates back to 1763 and the charm and ambience of this historic manor is reminiscent of the genteel lifestyle of colonial days.
Over the years, it has been exquisitely updated and expanded with meticulous attention to preserving its historical integrity. Original stone fireplaces warm the dining rooms and pubs, and gleaming wood floors and hand hewn beams reflect the bygone days of yesteryear. Flagstone terraces provide an idyllic setting for outdoor dining, while walls of windows in the Dining Room and Pavilion overlook the picturesque spring fed pond and gazebo.
