Hummingbird Inn - Goshen

4-star adults-only bed and breakfast in a historic 1780 inn on the Appalachian Waters Scenic Route 39

Historic Lodging

Hummingbird Inn Goshen is a restored 1780 trading post, now a 4-star bed and breakfast that preserves its original architecture and local history. The inn features elegantly appointed rooms like the Eleanore Roosevelt room, each with luxurious bedding, private baths, and garden or creek views. Guests can explore cozy common areas with fireplaces, a solarium, and a second-floor veranda overlooking the gardens and gazebo.

Farm-Fresh Breakfast

Each morning, the inn serves a complimentary two-course farm-fresh breakfast with locally sourced ingredients, including specialties like Oatmeal Crème Brûlée and poached eggs with lemon butter chive sauce. Dietary needs are accommodated-gluten-free and dairy-free scones are available on request. The breakfast is served at 9 a.m. around a single family table, encouraging conversation among guests.

Private Cabin

The Hummingbird Inn also offers a separate Serenity Cabin built by the innkeeper, featuring a full kitchen, an electric fireplace, and a porch overlooking Mill Creek. The cabin provides complete privacy for couples or small families, with direct access to the creek and garden paths. This standalone unit is popular for anniversaries and babymoons, and includes a welcome card and chocolates upon arrival.

Outdoor Spaces

The property includes a gazebo beside Mill Creek, a wood-burning fire pit, and multiple garden seating areas where guests can relax. A 24-hour complimentary tea and coffee bar is available in the common rooms, along with fresh cookies and candy dishes. The inn also provides picnic baskets and cheese platters for guests who want to enjoy the grounds or take a walk along the stream.

The Hummingbird Inn sits along the Appalachian Waters Scenic Route 39, minutes from Goshen Pass for hiking and kayaking. George Washington National Forest, with 30+ trails and fishing spots, is a short drive away, as are historic Lexington and Virginia Military Institute.
