We wanted to try a traditional Bed and Breakfast in Fredericksburg. For those of you that are new to the B&B world, traditional is a house with several guest rooms, where breakfast is served family style every morning. More and more B&Bs are converting to continental breakfast or providing a gift certificate for breakfast for two at a local restaurant. All are good options, but it is our job to sample a little of everything out there in terms of travel.
Inn on the Creek is ideally locate for those wanting to do some shopping while in Fredericksburg, it is right off Main Street, in the heart of it all, and across from the Admiral Nimitz Museum. From the street you see a charming home, lovely lawn, and the most inviting front porch downtown, complete with rocking chairs, that beg you to sit a spell! Inside each room bears a name specific to its theme. Ours was Suite Bliss!
The largest of the guest rooms at Inn on the Creek, Suite Bliss, is luxuriously romantic. The champagne colored bedding is absolutely beautiful AND comfortable. There are more pillows the bed than we cared to count, hooray for opulence! The large king sized bed is on a pedestal and well suited for royalty. I loved the steps to climb into bed! The second day we were there, we actually found ourselves heading back to the Inn for an afternoon nap!
The room also has a whirlpool for two, complete with wine glasses and fluffy towels and robes. If you are into bubble baths and fairy tales, this is the room for you! We spent more time in our room at Inn on the Creek than we have ever stayed in any accommodation before. There is an in room fridge and ice bucket to chill your beverage of choice and a do not disturb sign that you will never take off the door!
At the Inn on the Creek. The Breakfast is still an integral part of the experience. We woke up to the smell and sound of a full breakfast! We were served fresh fruit, coffee cake, bacon, sausage, eggs, and pancakes. The hostess was welcoming and for the time, we forgot we were not her personal houseguests. The dining room is beautifully decorated and has lots of natural light. Of course you can choose to sleep in and slip breakfast, but at least once, crawl out of luxury and meet the other guests you share the Inn with!
A beautiful home, a lawn complete with hot tub and lawn chairs, an inviting porch to rest on, luxurious bed to sleep in, personal service, attention to detail, and a hearty breakfast bright and early are all part of the charm! We recommend Inn on the Creek to anyone seeking the traditional, quintessential bed and breakfast experience! In particular, we recommend every couple spend a night in Suite Bliss, and treat themselves royally!
