Only one criticism, and it might have been isolated to my room (107). When the overhead light in the sleeping area was off, the switches for the bathroom wouldn’t work. Those lights would only come on if the overhead was also on. Was this a quirk to my room or by design?

Historical

I travel quite a bit and usually stay at corporate run properties. This was a boutique hotel which is far better. Property and hotel are immaculate. Very well decorated and kept.

Calm and relaxing place to stay. The floor creaking was the only possible negative but expected from locations history.

Beautifully restored property. Friendly and helpful staff. Other buildings are being restored so it would be excellent to have bistro or gastro pub on the property. Would definitely visit again if they ever do

For something different

Very interesting history to this Inn, it will appeal to some folks just for that reason, but it is lovely, clean and modernized. Beautiful setting in Staunton and within walking distance of downtown and restaurants.

Blackburn is the best!

We are caretakers for my daddy and my brother is a pastor near the Blackburn. He provides a respite weekend every Easter so was our second stay here. Everything was wonderful - friendly staff, beautiful setting, and clean room! It's a great place to just get away from the stress of living 🙂 I highly recommend!

if you are nostalgic for old architecture and you don't mind squeaky floors and stairs then is a great place to stay to explore the area for a weekend.

Spring weekend in Shenandoah valleys

Interesting unique historical setting. Our room was spacious and comfortable and quiet. Just a walk or short ride to downtown restaurants and shops, Shakespeare playhouse, etc. We were disappointed that bistro/bar onsite wasn't open.
