GAY STREET INN

Gay Street Inn sits in a restored 1850s farmhouse at the quiet end of Gay Street in Washington, Virginia. The adults-only bed-and-breakfast has five guest rooms with private bathrooms, air-conditioning, and garden or mountain views. The property includes a large garden, outdoor furniture, a library with board games, and a guest coffee station in the sunroom.

The Blue Room contains a king bed, a long luggage bench, reading chairs, and a stocked mini-fridge with complimentary water, sodas, and San Pellegrino. The Mountain View Room and the Garden Room are among the five guest rooms, each with allergy-free accommodations and hypoallergenic bedding. Guest rooms include free toiletries, a work desk, a dining area, a refrigerator, and charging stations on both bedside tables.

Breakfast in the room covers specific dietary needs and includes homemade granola with yogurt and berries, quiche, and French toast. The inn's craft cocktails use local spirits, and a bourbon flight is served in the library. Happy hour, wine and champagne orders, and evening homemade treats are available for guests.

Gay Street Inn is a five-minute walk from The Inn at Little Washington, with Haley Fine Art 9 km away and Shenandoah National Park Entrance 30 km away. Skyline Caverns sits 31 km from the inn, and local wineries and breweries are close by. Recreation options include a golf course, hiking, cycling, and wine tasting, while Charlottesville Albemarle Airport is 75 km away.

Contactless check-in uses a door code, and daily housekeeping, room service, and luggage storage are part of the stay. The innkeepers, Drew and Deb, offer local insights and flexible booking arrangements before arrival. Evening activities include board games, puzzles, and homemade treats in common spaces, while the quiet street and garden seating allow for relaxation.
