It has all the comforts of home with none of the chores. It is southern hospitality at its finest. the staff was fantastic and so friendly. the prices were well within our budgets and lots to see in the Shenandoah area. Well worth the visit!

It is the perfect getaway from the normal hustle and bustle. The Hummingbird Inn is a Victorian Carpenter Gothic inn, designed for intimacy and maximum relaxation, probably the most peaceful and relaxing weekend I had experienced in a long time. Escape the ordinary and enjoy the rustic charm!

The food was great and the service and accommodations were outstanding. Innkeepers Pam and Dick Matthews were extremely attentive yet unobtrusive. Their attention to detail was remarkable. They really go out of their way to make your stay the best.

Being centrally located just west of scenic Goshen Pass on the western edge of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, the town of Goshen sits in a small triangle defined by Lexington, Staunton, and Warm Springs Hot Springs. Local attractions include: quaint towns, historic battlefields, museums, antiquing, caverns, covered bridges, farmers’ markets, vineyards and a relaxing setting within the Massanutten Mountains bordered by the Shenandoah River. As a history buff I enjoyed the antique shopping and the flea markets.
