Just Like Heaven Carriage & Tea House Para a Alma

Welcome!
Nestled within the city of Winchester, Va. in the Shenandoah Valley, 30 minutes from the Blue Ridge Mountains and a 5 minute drive to the Old Town Walking Mall by car, sits this charming and quaint carriage/guesthouse on 2+ secluded acres known as 'The Secret Gardens Guest House'.

The Carriage House dates from the 1920’s and features a bedroom with an antique double four-poster bed, full bathroom with old-fashioned pedestal tub with safety bar and shower, beautifully updated kitchen, a private cafe style screened-in porch overlooking a gorgeous view of Zen Gardens and much more!

The charm and grace of this intimate cottage is lovely. The vibrant décor blends past and present with unique elegance. You can easily imagine a tasseled buggy pulling up as you enjoy the pleasure of modern conveniences.

The year round natural beauty framing our adorable Carriage House is unparalleled in Winchester. More than two acres of exquisite Zen Gardens are just a few steps away. Guests love spending time on our screened in porch, taking in a view that brings the blooms of the season to your doorstep as you sip your morning Organic coffee or tea in fresh robes that we provide for every guest. All of the environments inside and out are over seen with no chemicals used. This being the case we ask that you not use chemical cleaners or scented products that may impact the space.

In truth, the photographs of the Gardens on this site, simply don’t do it justice. It is a one-of-a-kind experience.

Our Organic herbal and veggie garden – where guests are welcome to choose fresh herbs/veggies for their dining pleasure – offers another special treat.

We have an outdoor fire pit area, ideal for star gazing that just can’t be appreciated in the downtown lights. Or you could take the time to sit by our fire pit with a warm mug of Organic coffee or Organic tea while listening to the soft sounds of the season, lifetime memories with that special someone are created.

We also welcome business travelers wanting more than an efficiency apartment as well as lone adventurers. Every time of the year is special in this sanctuary from the busy world.

As the Carriage House is a delicately crafted setting, guests must be at least 21 years old.

The guest house offers the simplicy of living. While Wifi may be available, there is no TV on site. You are more than welcome to bring your own devices and stream what you like if you need more stimulation.
The kitchen is fully equiped other than a microwave. Again, simplicity of living.

Short stays or long, you will be embraced by the quiet space and open gardens.

For your safety and ours we do ask that if you would like to book extra services or experiences such as a massage that will happen here on the property that you notify us ahead of time as we would like to approve of non-guests visits.
