We were able to spend a delightful evening at this Bed & Breakfast & it didn't disapoint! We were greeted with soothing music upon entry. The cottage was very relaxing with a nice sitting porch. The ammenities in the room were perfect. The bath tub was very soothing & relaxing. The staff was very warm & accomodating, they couldn't have... More

What a wonderful place to go for a little getaway and romance. My boyfriend surprised me with an evening here. I was so pleasantly surprised. We live up in the DC area so getting away once and a while is just the ticket. By the Side of the Road was gorgeous! The main house is beautiful and there is a... More

Although my wife and do not normally frequent B & B's, she won a two night stay at this B & B at the Virginia Fly Fishing Festival in April of 2012. We did not get a chance to use the stay until early April 2013. Our stay in late March was delayed by a snow storm, and even though... More

We visited the inn on our way home from visiting relatives in Tennessee. Our half way point would normally be Roanoke but we decided to go about an hour further. We were so glad we did. The inn is wonderful with it roots dating back to the late 1700's. Our room had a beautiful 4 post queen sized bed. It... More

I normally do not stay at B&Bs, but this one caught my attention when I was looking through possible places to stay on the East coast. I loved the country setting and the whole ambiance of how this place was set up on the property and the Shenandoah mountains in the background. There are various rooms/cottages to choose from, which... More

I love this B&B! I was here for 2 days, locked in my room on an intensive work retreat. My room was so comfortable and clean, I did not want to leave. The Inn keepers really catered to my wishes (vegetarian breakfast, decaf coffee). And the sunshine over the Shenandoah Mountains was breathtaking. It's very close to the Massanutten ski... More

My husband, two-year-old daughter, and I stayed in the Bishop's Retreat suite a couple of weeks ago. It's hard to find a B&B that will accept kids, and this one was perfect - on the phone, the owner recommended this specific suite because it's removed from the rest of the house, so noise doesn't disturb others. The suite was spacious... More

I worked occasionally in/around Harrisonburg, Va for many years and would drive by this B&B often. I never stopped but always like the looks of it. Finally my wife and I stayed there some time ago and loved it (I should have entered a review before now...). The place was really special, and the room at the top of the... More

My wife and I recently stayed at By the Side of the Road's newly opened Water Lily Suite. The suite is very spacious and has all of the amenities you could ask for! The shower is unbelievable with lot of luxurious and modern features, and the bed is super comfy. We enjoyed being able to step out on the balcony... More
