Perched high above the quaint town of Clifton Forge, Virginia, Hillcrest Mansion Inn sweeps her arms wide open in true Edwardian and Southern style. Built originally as a private home in 1911, today she welcomes discerning travelers to the Alleghany Highlands as an intimate yet luxurious Bed & Breakfast at this historic estate. Massive wrap-around porches, formal gardens, and interiors that have been strictly maintained-all provide that ‘Great Gatsby’ feeling! It is perfect for romantic couples on a getaway; history buffs here for our railroad heritage; perhaps large hotel resort guests from down the road who would rather stay with us where they can experience personalized private mansion hospitality.

Quick Take - Hillcrest Mansion Inn

  • ✓ This place is a real looker. Feels like you’ve stepped back into some more graceful age. Big staircases. High ceilings.
  • ✓ Most people would call the breakfast gourmet. Always seems to be fresh local ingredients. Served at the table with a bit of style.
  • ✓ Huge porch that wraps all the way around the house and is lined with rocking chairs from which you can watch both the mountains and the town below.
  • ✓ Service is highly personalized. In most cases, the story of the house and region forms an interesting component added to their stay.
  • ✓ Quiet location. Large grounds give the feeling of seclusion, yet just a few blocks from town center.
  • × As this is a historic property, there is no elevator. Guests must be able to navigate stairs to reach the guest rooms on the second floor.
  • × The in-room amenities are more on the traditional side; if you’re expecting ultra-modern tech or huge flat-screen TVs, and might find the vibe too “antique,” this is not your place.
  • × Immediate dining options within the town of Clifton Forge are limited and seem to close early. One has to be a bit mindful about having dinner.

Full Review - Hillcrest Mansion Inn

  • Cost Effectiveness Insanely underpriced for the level of luxury-and-history-per-dollar that it showers on guests. Feels far more expensive than its nightly rate would suggest.
  • Staff & Service Hospitable people. Prefer to treat you as an honored house guest rather than a paying customer.
  • Location Convenience Lovely location above the town. The town itself is sleepy and quiet, especially when compared to larger tourist destinations.
  • Area The grounds are a highlight. Beautiful gardens and outdoor seating areas that encourage relaxation.
  • Cleanliness Spotlessly clean. Old building, antique furniture, yet somehow no dust.
  • Breakfast Quality Breakfast is top-notch, easily comparable to some fancy brunch place. There is no actual restaurant on the premises serving lunch or dinner.
