There is much to do and see in Winchester and the surrounding area, including lots of hiking, antiquing, and historic exploring.

You are close enough to Washington and Baltimore to explore the big cities and return to the house. There are many caverns in the area and Skyline Drive is just minutes away. You are a short drive away to many sights in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia and western Maryland.

  • This was my second stay at the Peter Miller House. What a truly wonderful find! My friends and I stayed there while attending a conference at the University and we were the envy of our colleagues who were staying in the dorms. Beautiful home, perfectly furnished, and the outdoor patio is so quaint and private. Everything you need is there. The owners are friendly and gracious. Highly recommended - you won't be disappointed.

  • Very well done house. Lots of room and updated amenities. This house was also very kid-friendly which we very much appreciated. I would recommend this house to others.

  • We stayed for two weeks as we had lots of family in the area to visit. The house was perfect. It is elegantly furnished without being too stiff -- ideal for us with our 2 year old daughter. The fenced in back yard was also great. Proximity to the downtown pedestrian mall is a plus. We loved the breakfast at Swirls and Sunday brunch at Village Square is excellent. Also, Violino's is worth the walk to the other end of the mall -- some of the finest Italian food you'll eat anywhere!! It would be nice if house had wireless internet, but several cafes nearby have wireless.

  • We had a great time at this beautiful old house. So much room (we all had our favorite places to hide out in :) and every possible item provided making it a true home from home. This was a great base for day trips to the amazing caverns in the area and also for D.C. The homeowners went "above and beyond" to be friendly and helpful. Hope to come back someday and will definately reccommend to others!

  • Winchester was such a pleasant surprise. This city is remarkable in that all of the old homes survived the Civil War. It has a low-key lovely small town feeling. You can walk 2 blocks to the downtown which has a large pedestrian-only mall. We enjoyed the Brazilian restaurant (off the pedestrian mall) and Brewbaker's on the mall. The Peter Miller House has been renovated in such a way as to retain the very old flavor of Winchester homes but with all of the modern amenities you could want. A great kitchen, really nice fenced-in rear courtyard, 3 nice bedrooms, modern bathrooms and a lovely common room and dining room. At first we northerners were surprised that we could not open the windows, but quickly understood that those old windows would have been bears to replace. What you get is top-notch air conditioning and heat...we used both being in a funny in-between season. There are nice shops and restaurants within walking distance plus tons of lovely very old Winchester houses to look at as you stroll around the neighborhood. Nearby attractions, include the excellent Museum of the Shenandoah, a winery, and nice hiking plus lots more all quite close by. We hope to return, thanks!
