Wonderful place!

This was our second time staying here and once again, it did not disappoint! Beautiful fall colors, lots of birds, very tastefully decorated rooms and tons of books. TV was very easy to use. The kitchen has everything. The host was helpful and very friendly. Burkes Garden is a magical and peaceful place! We look forward to our next stay.

If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay in a small farming community - this is it! This old victorian home retains all of it's original charm while the newer addition in the back gives you all the convenience of a modern kitchen and bathrooms. The back patio is bricked and lovely. The backyard is spacious and backs to one of the local cow pastures. If you visit in the fall you can find apples and rhubarb to harvest. The small local general store will carry butter, quick oats, and sugar for you to make a small crisp! It was clean and private; the host was professional and quick to respond to questions. The night sky (especially the milky way) without light pollution is amazing! We will be back to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Girl’s weekend

There were 7 of us ladies that stayed here. We all loved the place and were pleased with the decor and cleanliness. When we needed something, Cindy was right over. The kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes, pots n pans etc. There was plenty of soaps, towels, toilet paper also. The view was beautiful and peaceful. Would definitely love to come back.

Awesome getaway!

This is the second year our merry band of hikers have stayed at the parsonage. Be prepared for an awesome stay. The place is spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, very comfortable and well maintained. The location is in amazingly beautiful Burkes garden surrounded by mountains and trails! Sunrises, sunsets and the stars at night are awesome! Then you add in the wonderful hosts ( Cindy and Johnsie). Perfect recipe to recharge and relax! Many thanks! We very much enjoyed our stay!

Burkes Garden is an amazing little town

The house was huge!! It is an old house with all the squeaks and creaks that are expected with a house that has age. The property was absolutely perfect for our group of 11 adults (one married couple had to have separate beds but they didn't mind at all). Matties place just up the road had a phenomenal breakfast. The road in was challenging, yet beautiful and perfect for riding our motorcycles to the property. The owners were extremely easy to work with and everything was just as advertised!! The serenity of the property was everything we wanted!!

Sweet Historic House, Great Location

If you are going to Burkes Garden, which is unlikely, your choices of accommodations are slim. The Parsonage is convenient in The Garden, right on the main road. Host Cindy was super responsive. The house is enormous, so if you have a large group, it will probably hold you. But they rent individual rooms, too, and mine was comfortable and charming. I will definitely stay here again when I go back to visit.

Wonderful escape

Wow! Burkes Garden is a magical place, a secret hideaway that few have appeared to discover. And this house! Outside, it is surrounded by magnificent trees and wonderful views. Inside, it is just unbelievable! Like staying in an awesome, high-end antique/craft store. Everywhere you look, someone has carefully arranged things for your viewing pleasure. Lots of interesting rooms and TONS of books. Well equipped kitchen. We loved sitting on the front porch, listening to the MANY birds. Photographers and birders will love this place. Great hosts that were nice to talk to when we encountered them on a walk. Bring you bikes if you are into biking, as the loop road would be awesome to ride each morning. We will be back, next time with bikes!

Why they chose this property

Burke's Garden is my "hometown." When my husband and I moved our family back to Virginia in 2001, we moved into the renovated Parsonage. We made a few changes over the years, but the core of the house remains just as it was built around 1900. In 2014, we moved next door to my parents' home. Now we're very excited to share this beautiful home with guests who, we hope, will enjoy the beauty and tranquility of this one of a kind setting.
