The main house is gorgeous historic house with beautiful floors and chandeliers in every room! The mountain view is spectacular! Peacocks roam the property and horses are friendly. The main house is a bit rustic and could use some TLC, but full of history and charm! The owner was responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. The only improvement we would suggest is to make it clearer in the listing that there are three rental houses on the property, so the amenities listed (hot tub and fire pit) are shared with the guests of the other houses and the hot tub is at the front door of the smallest rental space. We were not aware of this until the day before we arrived to check in. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would come back!

I stayed at this lovely property during a work conference with coworkers. It was wonderful to come back after work and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The house was spectacular and had great space for all of us to have our own bathroom and the ability to have quiet time. Only concern was it is actually about 25 minutes to Sweet Briar and not 6 as advertised. Also, its advertised as dog friendly for up to 2 dogs and I was charged a fee for each one. Would suggest adding that too. All in all it was a great experience.

Last minute stay for a family funeral. Worked for our needs. Rooms were nice & beds comfortable. Some of the furniture in living area could use an upgrade. Everything was usable. The fridge has no shelves on the door & missing some in the freezer as well. Limited on space for groceries if staying longer. Note that it is not as close to anything as the description & map implies (not an 8 minute walk to McDonalds). I liked the peacocks that wandered and the other animals. This house is a historical house. Would love to have known the history of it.

My group of 6 men stayed here for a weekend while we were in town for a Men’s conference at Liberty. Each guy had his own bedroom, large bed, and private bathroom, which suited us very well. The guys loved the quiet location, rolling hills, farm animals, and quirky peacocks. This 150+ year old house with a rocking-chair-porch that faces the mountains was the perfect stay for us—we’ll be back!!

Jennifer, our host, was very accommodating. The house was as presented on the website. The kitchen had everything we needed. Unfortunately the weather was very cold so we did not take much advantage of the area.

The house and property are beautiful. There are horses and peacocks. The furniture and beds are both beautiful and comfortable. It was the perfect space for our family. The location of the house is about 20 outside of Amherst, VA. The map on the VRBO site shows the house in town which is incorrect. The weather was very cold during our visit, and some of us were cold during our stay. This is quite common for old houses. The property owner was very helpful and communicative. We were sad to have to leave early to avoid a winter storm. All of us agreed we would go back, maybe in the Spring or Fall.

The Fairview was the perfect experience for our family visit. Tons of room, amazing views, loved the kitchen, and host was very responsive and accommodating. Great stay and we hope to make it an annual event.

We arrived at the Fairview Inn Bed and Breakfast on October 18th. When we first came in, we were greeted by a strong gas smell in the kitchen, but the rest of the house did not smell so we unpacked and went to bed. The propane tank was actually running low and ran out on Tuesday, which hampered us from cooking that day & night and left us with no heat on a night of freezing temperatures. Additionally, when there was propane the gas fireplaces did not work well. We had to meet the propane truck for a fill-up instead of the staff meeting them. On the first morning we discovered a live mouse caught in a sticky trap and making noises in the kitchen. By October 20th, we found mice running around in the house day and night making noises and leaving droppings. When we asked the owner, Ms. Kilgore, and the staff about what they were going to do about the rodent infestation, they said that they were just going to put out some more sticky traps. Ms. Kilgore said that there was nothing she could do about the rodents since the bed and breakfast is ‘just a farmhouse.’ This was very unsettling since this is a business. Also on the first morning we found that there were no horses on the property, contrary to what was advertised. This was very disappointing to my daughter who loves horses and wanted to spend the week with them. We also found that many of the rooms, specifically the kitchen and the living room and kitchen, were not as advertised. There is also no sauna shed available to use although it is advertised. Besides mice and heat, On October 21st, things only became worse. We experienced unprofessional treatment from the cleaning woman, who left wet sheets and towels in the washer for us to deal with twice. She also told us we could not use the washer and dryer. Furthermore, the refrigerator went out during the night, ruining approximately $100 worth of our food. After communicating all of our concerns to Jennifer on the night of the 21st, she offered a full refund if we vacated the property by 10:00 AM on October 22nd. We accepted her offer and were off the property by 10:00 AM with all of our belongings. This caused us to have to find other lodging at the last minute. Normally, we would have just gone home earlier but we had business in the area that had to be attended to. Since then we have received no communications from Jennifer and have not received the refund she promised.
