Today

We knew it the moment we drove on to the property. This was the perfect fit for our family of four, originally from Hawaii, to start a brand new adventure together. We were mesmerized not only by the peaceful setting, abundant spring, and history, but also by the people that grace this place. We strive to provide warm hospitality with that special Aloha spirit, along with excellence in service and attention to detail. Our vision is to offer our guests an authentic experience outside of the hectic lifestyles we tend to lead these days, so that everyone leaves feeling nurtured, refreshed and rejuvenated.
About the Manor House
Originally built in 1785 by the young Revolutionary War Captain Strother Jones, the Vaucluse Manor house was home to his direct descendants through the Civil War. Its fall into disuse was reversed in 1997 when Neil and Barry Myers restored the house and Vaucluse once again was filled with life, laughter and good food.

Today, the first floor of Vaucluse contains the inn’s two dining rooms and two gracious sitting rooms. The photo album of “before” pictures prompts gasps of amazed disbelief and many animated discussions of restoration projects. The soaring windows, high ceilings, intricately carved mantles, and walnut and cherry paneled doors always elicit comments.
Outside, the front porch with its row of rockers and peaceful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley is the site of many an early morning cup of coffee and late afternoon glass of wine.
