About the host

Your host

Host profile image
By the Side of the Road was originally established in 1999 as Harrisonburg, Virginia’s first bed and breakfast business. Founders Dennis and Janice Fitzgerald wrote the city ordinance that defined the services of a fine B&B establishment in the region. As of June 2022, By the Side of the Road is under new ownership. Jesse and Anna Bergey saw an opportunity to continue the business as Dennis and Janice (Anna’s parents) were ready to step back. They are bringing new ideas and updates while providing clean, comfortable accommodations to those who visit. Jesse comes from a background of landscaping and worked for a local company for 10 years and most recently ran his own small landscape company for 8 years. Anna has worked in marketing and hospitality for as long as she can remember and currently works as a Realtor/Associate Broker primarily in the Harrisonburg/Rockingham area.
