| To me, Virginia s unique bed and breakfast inns are synony- mous with one word: romance. Young or old or just in between, we expect something special, something different from the moment we cross through the front door. Warmth and friendship with other guests and with the proprietors fill our visit. Disappointment is rare. Why? Because the proprietors are there not just for profit, but to share -- to share with their guests their personalities, interests, and the treasures which they have incorporated -- often at considerable finan- cial cost -- into their beautiful inns. America s rich heritage is rooted in Virginia s soil: Jamestown, Yorktown, Monticello, Mount Vernon, and Williamsburg all transport the visitor to the time of our forefathers. Virginians are proud of their historical roots and pleased to share them with visitors to the Old Dominion through unparalleled hospitality. Nowhere is that hospitality more prevalent than at our wonderful inns. The Commonwealth of Virginia offers innumerable special getaways, including everything from leisurely, restful escape to chal- lenging outdoor adventure. Our bed and breakfast inns quilt the land-scape, providing an abundance of variety to visitors. Whichever desti-nation you choose -- and I hope there will be many -- fond memorieswill linger long after your experience. From the Highland County mountainsides to the tranquilEastern Shore, from Piedmont s hunt country to the restored historicdistricts of Richmond, our capital city, Virginia extends a varied paletteof experiences to visitors. Here you will find rich cultural offerings orrustic crafts, sophisticated suburbs or rural farm communities, ruggedoutdoor pursuits or luxurious retreats. The choices are many andvaried. Your journey could begin with the legendary ShenandoahValley, threading your way through rich, fertile farmland. You mightchoose to explore cascading mountain streams so popular with canoersand fly fishermen such as myself, or one of our abundant lakes, whichlure anglers. Hiking trails lace across the state, traversing thousands of acresof beautiful national forests. Virginia boasts one of the nation s mostfamous trails, the Appalachian Trail, and perhaps its most popularscenic drive, the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway. And, in the farreaches of Western Virginia, you will find wonderful wilderness areasyet to be explored. Perhaps the best part of Virginia is her people. You will findthem warmhearted, welcoming, helpful, gracious, and friendly.
