Are local Bed & Breakfasts situated directly on the lake shore?

Most historic Bed & Breakfasts (like Dunnlora Inn and Boxley Place) are located on sprawling, historic country estates in downtown Mineral and neighboring Louisa town. This is a short, scenic 8-to-10-minute drive to the lake. The advantage is a highly peaceful, historic atmosphere completely isolated from water traffic noise.

What is included in a typical B&B gourmet farm-to-table breakfast?

Expect a multi-course southern feast: freshly baked buttermilk biscuits, farm-fresh local brown eggs, thick-cut Virginia cured bacon or local sausage, buttermilk pancakes with pure maple syrup, seasonal organic fruit, and locally roasted organic coffee.

Is trailer parking allowed on B&B properties?

Yes! B&B properties feature quiet multi-acre grass lawns and gravel parking areas. Inform the hosts ahead of time, and they will designate a wide, pull-through spot to easily park and turn your truck-and-boat trailer rig.
