We had a wonderful stay. The Savannah Suite was perfect for the 4 night. We had plenty of room. The peace and quiet was just what we needed. The breakfasts were fabulous. Highly recommend the Inn at Sugar Hollow.

My husband and I stayed here on our mini-vacation to the Charlotte area wineries. We brought our pup, and we're delighted to find this pet-friendly B&B. It is well located, with lots of wineries and things to do nearby. The room was clean and lovely. The property was gorgeous-- nestled in a little valley. Great views. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, and cooked us a delicious breakfast in the morning. I would define recommend. Especially to those wanting to bring a dog. It worked out nicely.

Beautiful, restful setting with friendly owners, very comfortable accommodations, great food and a couple of very cute puppies on site :-)

My wife and I had a wonderful weekend at the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm. The location was great for our visit to the area. It was close to the town of Crozet and close enough to visit Charlottesville. The Inn was decorated very nice and our room was just as it was represented on their website . The owners Tim and Dina were extremely nice and helpful . They had suggestions on where to eat and what to do. Everything they suggested was wonderful. The area is covered with wineries and breweries if that is what you are into. Altogether we had a wonderful weekend.

Loved our stay. Rooms are wonderful, location is beautiful and the breakfasts were tasty. Only knock would be limited Wi-Fi, but it's worthwhilet to disconnect anyways. Tim and Dina were very welcoming as well. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed in the Wildflower Room, fantastic mountain views, fireplace ready to go, Tim was very friendly and accommodating (my diet restrictions) and knowledgeable of the area. Breakfast was superb. Would strongly recommend to anyone. Close to the National Park, Charlottesville, and there are some good restaurants close by in Crozet.

The location is wonderful, if you want to get away from the city. Very close to great running and hiking at Sugar Hollow Reservoir. Grounds and views are beautiful and staff was great.

This place is amazing! We absolutely loved our visit and can't wait to come back. The Inn Keepers couldn't have been more kind, the room was beautiful and the location was perfect.

Very much enjoyed our stay. Tim was very flexible with check-in and check-out timing which allowed us to get in a morning hike before heading out. Also were very accommodating of our dog. Property is pretty and couldn't be in a nicer spot.

It was beautiful and peaceful, and we really enjoyed our stay! Tim and Dina were gracious hosts as well!

We loved the scenery on the way to the Inn and we were stunned by the size and luxury of our room. We didn't want to leave it! The morning breakfast was incredible both days and we really enjoyed our conversation with fellow guests. We got good tips on local hiking and saw other guests on the trail. The hospitality was wonderful, from check in to check out! We can't wait to go back!

Beautiful facility built from ground up as a B&B. Has all modern amenities plus quiet country location not far from Charlottesville VA

A true mountain destination nestled deep in a valley with the Blue Ridge looming on all sides. The Inn at Sugar Hollow is a must stay for hiking enthusiasts. We also loved the fresh eggs and the adorable pygmy goats!
5 en noviembre 17, 2016
What a great place to relax and unwind. This was our second stay and once again everything was fantastic. Rooms are spacious but cozy. The breakfast was wonderful and a great way to start your day as well as meet new people. Tim provided great places to eat. Will definitely stay again.
5 en noviembre 13, 2016
Every time we have stayed here it has been a delightful experience. The breakfasts are amazing and there are lots of things to see and do in the area. The scenery is amazing.
5 en noviembre 09, 2016
What a beautiful place tucked away on the edge of the hills below Skyline Drive. This was our second stay and everything was fantastic once again. The owners provided great dining suggestions and were very knowledgeable of the local area. The breakfast was excellent and a great way to start your day as well as meet other guests. Will definitely stay there again.

Following the proposal, my new fiancée and I stayed at the Inn at Sugar Hallow Farm, and enjoyed our time immensely. In fact, we had dinner plans in Charlottesville that we cancelled so that we could stay in and enjoy our stay longer. We stayed in the Shenandoah Suite, which I highly recommend. The amenities (private entrance, 4 poster king bed, gas fireplace, whirlpool tub, amongst others) were great. Well maintained. The room had a high class, but equally homey and welcoming air. The breakfast was a delicious traditional southern breakfast. Would certainly stay here again.
5 en octubre 29, 2016
We loved staying there with our pet. The food was sooooooooooooooooo good! The host was very accommodating. everything clean and quiet. Beautiful and would love to come back.

I stayed at the sugar hollow inn in SEPT. 2016 and to go to a STYX concert close by . , although I did not make the concert I had the best and most relaxing time at the inn . My stay was wonderful and I highly recommend you stay if your in the area . And now about the host Tim and Dina . They are two of the most polite and down to earth people i've ever met . That should be enough said . P.J.
5 en septiembre 29, 2016
First time to be taken care of by Tim and Dina. They carry on the tradition set by Tim's parents. So this remains our favorite B&B.
5 en septiembre 16, 2016
Tim and Dina where gracious hosts. The B&B was beautiful as well as the views. It was very quiet and peaceful but also close enough to go to Charlottesville for dinner and entertainment. The breakfast was delicious and filling both days. High recommend it.

Our stay at The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm exceeded my expectations. The property is gorgeous and the view and beautiful weather over an amazingly delicious breakfast buffet was so peaceful. Highly recommend a stay!!
5 en agosto 24, 2016
My wife and I stayed for 2 days in the Country Manor room. We loved it since it was on the 1st floor and a little bit set away from the rest of the rooms. The breakfast was PHENOMENAL. We explored the reservoir area which was closer than we thought as well as some of Crozet. Definitely will stay again when we get a chance!
5 en agosto 24, 2016
Third stay with them! The Shenandoah suite is a private sanctuary in the mountain. After a five star breakfast including Dina's fabulous pancakes we drove a few miles to the dam and hiked around. We'll be back!

Perfect place for R and R. Quiet and peaceful. Great location if you are into hiking.

You are missing a true gem of the blue ridge mountains if you do not make a trip to sugar hollow. The relaxing atmosphere is breath taking.
4,6 en agosto 04, 2016
The room was beautiful. Our biggest complaint was that the wi-fi was spotty to non-existent.
5 en julio 26, 2016
Stayed in the main house. The rooms are a very good size and are nicely appointed. The Inn is off of the beaten path but a great location for exploring the Brew Ridge Trail as well as the Blue Ridge Parkway. Would definitely go to the Inn again.
5 en julio 19, 2016
We enjoyed our four nights at the Inn. I would like to go back in the fall and see the beautiful colors!
5 en julio 18, 2016
We enjoyed our stay at the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm, it was a relaxing , quiet get-away. If you're looking for a B&B away from the hustle-bustle and are looking for a location that's quiet and peaceful, this is the place. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. If you're looking for a bit of activity, Chancellorsville is a 20 minute drive away, not exactly right around the corner.
5 en julio 13, 2016
So nice to stay at a nice inn that is so welcoming to your pets. The farmhouse was pet friendly where we could also mingle with other guests with pets. The main house does not allow dogs but we were able to have breakfast on the porch of the inn with Sonny by our side. Sonny especially enjoyed playing in the creek near the inn. I definitely would stay here again if I was traveling in the area with or without my pet.
4,4 en julio 04, 2016
If you're looking for a place to get away from it all but still be close to everything the Shenandoah Valley has to offer, then this is the place for you! We were able to visit several of the nearby wineries and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Charlottesville is only a short drive away as well. We will definitely return! Many thanks to our gracious hosts, Tim and Dina.

This was a little more remote than we anticipated with spotty cell service and Wi-fi, but if you really want to "get away!" then you don't need those anyway. The Shenandoah Suite cottage was so nice and comfortable with an awesome bathroom. The bed was super comfy and you can watch the sun set over the mountains from the bay window. We had a great breakfast both days at the main house. Our only complaints were that there wasn't much in the way of utensils/plates for food we brought back from dinner (we called the main house and had to go get them) and the fold out couch had a little bit of dirt that had fallen through the cushions onto the mattress. Overall, it was a great for our girls getaway winery weekend. I hope to go back with my husband at some point in the fall!
4,2 en junio 12, 2016
I wish we could have stayed longer and spent a little more time at the property. Our room was comfortable, everyone was very nice. The breakfast was amazing. We will definitely come back.
5 en junio 10, 2016
We stayed at the Inn at Sugar Hollow traveling from Texas to Boston. It gave us the chance to relax off the highway and enjoy the beautiful mountains and Charlottesville. Traveling with a dog, we stayed in the farm house surrounded by fields and nestled in the trees. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, drinking wine and listening to the babbling stream and birds. Our room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Such a bucolic setting. Tim made a delicious omelette for breakfast that we enjoyed eating on the patio with our dog. Both Tim and Dina were very helpful and responsive. We will definitely be back.
5 en junio 01, 2016
Our stay at Sugar Hollow Farm was incredible. The inn is in such a beautiful setting at the base of the mountains with green beauty everywhere you look. The owners Tim and Dina are such awesome hosts. They make you feel so at home, cook an awesome breakfast, and we're very kind and welcoming. During our stay some of the highlights were going wine tasting at beautiful vineyards, went on an incredible hike, and listened to a blue grass band while watching the sun set. Couldn't have been a better trip. The town of Charlottesville is so charming and fun to walk by great restaurants, shopping, and bars. Thoroughly exceeded our expectations and much more we could've done if we had the time! We will definitely come back and stay with Tim and Dina in the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm.

The Inn is very clean and comfortable. The bed is great. The property is very nice, quiet, with a beautiful view. The Innkeeper is pleasant and helpful.

Lovely location and beautiful rooms. Breakfasts are more than yummy and coffee is good and plentiful. Great experience.

We've stayed in many B&Bs over th years and this was certainly one of the very best!
4,4 en mayo 15, 2016
I wanted to take my husband away for his 60th birthday but we have a dog that can not be left at the kennel. The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm not only allowed the dog to stay, but took wonderful care of him while we went to visit Monticello! Breakfast was great and everyone was so friendly and bent over backwards to ensure we had a fantastic time! I highly recommend the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm!
5 en mayo 05, 2016
Our experience at The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm was delightful - lovely, comfortable B&B in an absolutely gorgeous part of the country. Tim and Dina are friendly and attentive hosts, and the breakfasts are superb. We're looking forward to visiting again!

I forgot to add how soft the sheet were! I felt like I was floating in heaven!
5 en abril 14, 2016
Charming and homey. Loved the redbuds and dogwoods in bloom, and the extra touches like a room upstairs iwith coffee and tea so you can have it late at night or before breakfast. And we loved that they allow pets!
3,4 en abril 14, 2016
The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm is a gem. My husband and I stayed two nights in the old Farmhouse. The surrounding grounds are beautiful and walkable. The room was pleasantly decorated and the king size bed was wonderful! We plan to stay again in the Fall.
5 en marzo 23, 2016
Lovely accommodations. We stayed in the Hunt Country room. The floor plan in the main inn maximizes privacy and quiet. Our queen bed was very comfortable. Tim lit the fire laid in the fireplace for us on a chilly Saturday night. The inn has several common rooms, good for reading or TV. Breakfasts are substantial and delicious. The drive from Charlottesville takes about 30 minutes, a lovely part of the Virginia countryside to enjoy. Wifi tends to come and go, but we weren't there for serious use of the Internet. Very relaxing stay.
5 en marzo 15, 2016
My wife and I recently stayed at The Inn at Sugar Hallow Farms. The venue was so beautiful and relaxing that we also held our wedding there. The customer service was outstanding! The room we stayed in, though a bit too flowery for my taste, was very comfortable and cozy, with ample room to spread out and relax! It is centrally located within driving distance to many of Virginia's best wineries and breweries. Do yourself a favor and make the effort to stay at The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm. Tim and Dina will take excellent care of you!!
4,6 en febrero 01, 2016
We came for a weekend getaway and were not disappointed. Close to hiking trails, breweries and wineries and a very cozy home!
5 en enero 22, 2016
Great place for a romantic getaway from work. Beautiful views from Shenandoah suite. Breakfast is homemade and delicious in the dining room. If you are interested, you can bring your dog but be prepared to have your dog join you at the breakfast table with all the other doggies.
5 en diciembre 25, 2015
Stayed in many B&B and didn't expect what I got when we arrived. Tim and his staff were amazing. This is my wife and I only place to stay when we need a get away.
4,2 en diciembre 10, 2015
Stayed in Wildflower Room. Spacious room with a King-plus bed with top of the line mattress. Fireplace service each night around 8:00pm. Outside private, but just close enough to Charlotteville, trails, wineries, and breweries. Outstanding room and location. Breakfast served at 9:00am. a little late for early risers. But coffee station upstairs to help manage the breakfast wait. We would certainly visit again.
4,2 en noviembre 30, 2015
Sugar Hollow is a wonderful place to get away from it all! When you are out for dinner, call ahead and they will have the fireplace roaring upon your return, breakfast is excellent too. The only minor note is that you do have a long and winding country road drive to Dinner- so watch out for Deer and careful with the wine!
4,6 en noviembre 28, 2015
Stayed late November, didn't see the house during the day since the night started around 5 pm, but the lighted house inside was gorgeous. I met Tim in the foyer, was given a quick tour around before I headed out to town for a quick dinner. Was given a map of local business that I may like to go to and was given directions since there wasn't a strong cell signal available, but there was wifi. After I came back, we planned out the next day's schedule on breakfast time and then I was left to my own devices/ Overall, my stay at the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm was very pleasant and was a much needed rest for my trip ahead.
5 en noviembre 24, 2015
This was just such a cozy and comfortable place to stay. The hospitality was great, food was amazing, and my wife and I would love to return!
5 en noviembre 17, 2015
We absolutely loved our stay! Breakfast was an A+, especially because they were accommodating to my gluten allergy. The room/house was so clean, and we felt very at home here. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
5 en noviembre 16, 2015
This was just a beautiful house with wonderful rooms and a delicious breakfast. My wife and I stayed one night during our honeymoon and we both agree that it was one of our favorite stops! Highly recommend!
3,8 en octubre 30, 2015
Lovely place miles from anywhere. We brought our dog so stayed in the dog-friendly out-building, which was about 100 years old. I think the accommodations in the main house were probably more luxurious, but these were fine. The owners were very nice and the breakfast was fabulous.
4,2 en octubre 27, 2015
We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Inn at Sugar Hollow. The hike nearby was a terrific activity, and the location is wonderfully off the beaten path. The Innkeepers are welcoming and nice to visit! We loved gazing at the stars by the fire pit before bed, and enjoyed a lovely breakfast in the morning. We will definitely come back!
5 en septiembre 16, 2015
We love The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm, and can't wait to get back for a longer stay. This was our second visit. It has everything that you would want from an upscale place - super thick towels, complimentary bathrobes and slippers, hand painted walls. The breakfast is superb, and you always meet nice people there. The setting is way out in the country, where it is super quiet. Views are spectacular, and hiking and biking opportunities abound.
4,8 en abril 10, 2015
On the spur of the moment, my wife and I decided to visit Charlottesville for her birthday. I found the inn on the internet and selected it based on reviews and availability. It is a winner. The hosts are friendly and very knowledgable about the area. The bed was very comfortable (not a given at B&Bs, we have found) and the breakfast was substantial and delicious. The Virginia country location is beautiful and restful. We will recommend the inn to friends.

We went to The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm to celebrate our first year of Being Married!!! We had a delightful time and we could not be more pleased with our wonderful stay!! Both Hayden and Dick were excellent hosts as well as wonderful cooks!! The house was beautiful and the room that we stayed in was relaxing and peaceful. The idea of the journal is excellent too! I had stated in the journal that my Husband and I were coming here to celebrate our first year of being married and Dick and Hayden wrote to us thanking us for staying and for coming to their B&B for our celebration!! How sweet!! Thank you again Hayden and Dick!! We look forward to coming back!!

This is the second time we've stayed at Sugar Hollow. The first time was seven years ago, when my husband and I first started dated. Through our relationship we've traveled a lot. We were interested to see what our prospective would be the second time around. We loved it! The view is so relaxing. I could sit out on their porch all day with a hot cup of coffee. The bed was comfy, food the next morning was delicious and the Inn Keeper is sweet as can be! They find the perfect balance between entertaining and privacy. We look forward to our next stay!
4,6 en marzo 31, 2014
The wife and I were looking for a nice weekend getaway from the kids, work, etc., and we couldn't have been happier. We stayed in the Country Manor room. It's the most private of the rooms, and is very cozy. The staff is very nice with a very personal touch. The countryside is completely beautiful, and there's tons of wineries around to keep you buzzing. Be sure to check out Monticello while you're in the area.
5 en marzo 28, 2014
This is a lovely place. The owners are fine people and the food was super. I highly recommend the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm and hope to return myself, someday.
5 en octubre 24, 2013
We needed an oasis for our out of town guests and for our family for a weekend of wedding festivities in Crozet. The Innkeepers are so very friendly, helpful and neat. The accommodations were exceptionally wonderful. We are so glad that our friends recommended the Inn at Sugar Hollow. We would definitely recommend this lovely getaway Inn to our friends, and look forward to visiting again.

Dick and Hayden are the model for B & B hosts. They provide a beautiful place to stay, fabulous breakfasts, wonderful background information on the area, and excellent recommendations for activities and dining. This is definitely the place to stay when celebrating a special occasion. We thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary stay.
4,6 en julio 08, 2013
This is one of the best B & B's we have stayed at. The hosts were extremely welcoming and helpful. The Inn has several common areas including a lovely roof deck, which several evenings we enjoyed a glass of wine and good conversation with our friends. It was the perfect place for R & R. We will definitely come back!
4,6 en julio 06, 2013
The Inn at Sugar Hollow is hidden away on a very rural road. Our plan was to use the Inn as a launching point for touring Charlottesville. We never left the Crozet area. We spent two days enjoying the local hiking, the wineries and the local eateries. The Inn, built in the mid 1990's, specifically as a B & B; has a patio to enjoy the morning coolness and a deck that is out of the evening sun. The décor is a fantastic mix of old pictures of the area as well as pictures of their family and grandchildren. The rooms are very spacious and clean; the bed, after you get up in to it, is very comfortable. Dick and Hayden serve a wonderful breakfast spread, buffet style, with very creative dishes to enjoy. The buffet allows for a leisurely meal using two large tables to seat the guests. The property has several acres to enjoy the dear and wildlife as well as a couple of guest rooms in a separate farmhouse.
4,8 en mayo 14, 2013
Hayden is a most kind woman who takes, together with her husband and son, every care to make your stay as memorable as possible. She proposed an upgrade for our room and looked upon all kind of information that was useful for us. Spacious room with beautiful view, nice bathroom and sitting area in the room.
4,8 en mayo 05, 2013
We booked this weekend as an escape from hectic jobs. We were more than pleasantly pleased. Our hosts were lovely, the food was fantastic, the B&B was beautiful and homey. I loved listening to the babbling brook outside while looking at the stars. My only complaint is the bed and bathtub are very high. As a person with arthritis, they were difficult to navigate, even with the stepstool provided. It would have been helpful to mention this on the website. Aside from that, we would go back in a heartbeat.
5 en mayo 04, 2013
It was the most stunning house in a very tranquil setting. The guest rooms were all indiviually themed and extremely tastefully done. Richard and Hayden's son, Tim, looked after our every need with excellent breakfasts and even prepared the BBQ for us to use one evening. If we are ever in the Shenandoah Valley again we will certainly stay there again and will highly recommend it to anyone.
4,4 en abril 29, 2013
Overall the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm exceeded our expectations. While the site and the area are beautiful, Ricard and Hayden are wonderful inn proprietors--friendly, informative, and interested in each guest. Also, the other guests were great fun and from all over the country and other countries. Don Perkins and Mindy Thomas

We loved it and will be back

Part of me wants to reverse the scores so no one else will know what a great place this is. Anyone else who visits is competing with me for the best rooms. :O

We had to stay an additional night because of a heavy snowstorm that downed trees in the driveway, which were not removed for 24 hours because of the extent of damage throughout the area and the demands on tree clearance services. Power was out but a generator kept essential services in operation. We had an enjoyable lunch and dinner with the innkeeper, and enjoyed the winter scene while seated by a warming fire. At breakfast the next morning, Dick informed us that there would be no charge for the extra night and meals. One of the ways to assess the quality of a business is to evaluate what happens when the unexpected occurs. This experience only heightened our appreciation for The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm and the attention to guests that Dick and Hayden consistently display.
4,8 en febrero 24, 2013
We stayed in the Shenandoah Suite at Sugar Hollow. It is detached from the main house, which worked out perfect for us. The suite had everything you could need. We highly recommend it and we will be back. The fireplace in our suite stopped working in the middle of the firs night, but didn't really make a difference to us.
5 en febrero 02, 2013
Sugar Hollow was my first bed and breakfast experience! My boyfriend decided we needed some time away from the city to unwind. Sugar hollow was a great place to relax, hike and spend time together. The owners were so welcoming and accommodating. After our long 9 hour hike, the owners offered to pick us up to shorten the remaining miles. Best part, they were so thoughtful and brought sandwiches for us after a long day of hiking. Definitely, above and beyond our needs! Sugar Hollow will always be a special place for us, as my boyfriend is now my fiance! Thanks Baby for such a great weekend.

We are returning guest asnd have always been very happy
5 en enero 28, 2013
The perfect place to spend a weekend relaxing with my husband for our 9th anniversary. The inn was wonderful, Dick and Hayden were great host and breakfast was worth getting up at 9! We went over a cold weekend and the house was perfect. Can't wait to go back!
5 en enero 23, 2013
My husband and I stayed two nights at Sugar Hollow to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We had been there 10 years ago on our honeymoon. Not much changed in those ten years which is good! It was wonderful then and it's wonderful now. I love the peaceful surroundings. It's very relaxing and clean, well kept.
4,4 en enero 13, 2013
One night in the seven springs room, a free upgrade from the room i had reserved, was more than pleasant. The bathroom and bedroom are clean and very nice. The breakfast was delicious.
4,6 en enero 06, 2013
Met a friend for a few days of rest after the holidays here. Greeted by friendly inn keepers and staff for a wonderful stay. Beautiful property and rooms have great views. Not far from good restaurants and shopping.

I booked a room at this B&B for my boyfriend's birthday. He had been mentioning that he wanted to escape to the woods. He also loves visiting wineries. So Charlottesville was the perfect option (at least fin my mind since I am a UVA grad!). I looked around for a B&B online and when I saw several excellent reviews from people who have stayed at Sugar Hollow numerous times I knew I had found our place! We had an amazing weekend and Sugar Hollow was a major reason. Hayden and Dick are absolutely wonderful hosts. We felt very welcomed and taken care of. The house feels like that of a close friend or family member that you're visiting. It's beautifully furnished and the Christmas decorations were a very special touch. Breakfast, which is prepared by Dick and Hayden every morning, was delicious!! The rooms were very comfortable and welcoming. They provide all the things you might want away from home -- robes, slippers, shampoo, makeup remover, etc. The CDs in the room were great, too, especially Enya, one of my boyfriend's all time favorites. The B&B is conveniently located away from the hustle and bustle of central Charlotesville and UVA, but it's still rather close if you want to venture to the University or the Downtown Mall, just about 11 miles away. The B&B is also close to many vineyards and hiking trails. Really a perfect and picturesque location. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and had a very special and memorable weekend. While we were still at Sugar Hollow we had already decided that we'll be going back for another visit. And we're looking forward to it!

Room was wonderful - just as advertised and extremely well appointed. The Inn's setting could not have been prettier - great views, peaceful and relaxing. Owners, Dick and Hayden were very helpful and pleasurable to talk with. We're going back!
5 en diciembre 05, 2012
We stayed at the Inn to hike the surrounding area and absolutely loved it. The hospitality was far above average. The staff was friendly and so were the guests. Breakfast was fantastic...with a fire in the fireplace. The hospitality of Dick and Hayden made it extra special.

Room was very nice, and food was good. No little extras you would expect at first rate B & B.

My pre-teen and teen kids and I really enjoyed our one-night stay at the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm. We stayed in the farmhouse adjacent to the Inn, which was charming, but a little too rustic for our tastes. The breakfast the next day was really lovely and the stars at night during our fall sojourn- magnificient! Really well located from Crozet and Charlottesville. A perfect home base for a family adventure. We hope to return and to stay in the main Inn next time we come to enjoy Shenandoah.
5 en noviembre 20, 2012
Very relaxing stay in a wonderful location. Everything was great, right down to the coffee! Would definitely return. The bed in the Colonial room is so comfortable, I didn't want to get out of bed!
4,6 en noviembre 18, 2012
This is an amazing Bed and Breakfast. Hayden and Dick and their son Tim were completely outstanding. My boyfriend is now convinced that B & B's are the way to go when traveling away from home. It is immaculately clean, details beyond belief...like the black wash clothes for folks removing make up etc....The pillow for lounging in the hot tub and most of all...the playing of relaxing music when you enter the room each day. Simply..."THE VERY BEST!!"
4,8 en noviembre 15, 2012
Fabulous getaway!
5 en octubre 28, 2012
The remoteness of the location was great. We did not have cell phone reception which truly made it relaxing and a getaway. The wood burning fireplace in the room was great and romantic. I am glad they weren't changed to gas which seems to be the main fire anymore. The breakfast was delicious and different every morning. I did not want to leave at the end of the stay.
5 en octubre 27, 2012
We have stayed in several bed and breakfasts, here and abroad. The Inn was among our top three favorite facilites. Our hosts could not have been more gracious. We got lost along the way and they were most helpful in giving us directions. The inn itself is warm and inviting and situated in a most peaceful location. We were not able to stay for breakfast though it smelled delicious. We definitely plan to go back when we can stay for several days to explore the area.
5 en octubre 24, 2012
This is a charming bed and breakfast that offers hospitality and excellent service. The staff is helpful and provides excellent tips on where to spend the days around Charlottesville, including recommending some fun wineries that feature great wines. The breakfasts are delicious and each day brings new and pleasing entrees. This is certainly a great place to relax!

The hospitality of our hosts, the charm of the inn, and the beauty of the surrounding area combined to make our stay an amazing experience. In our short stay, we were able to get in hiking by the reservoir, a walk through historic Charlottesville, a visit to Monticello, and a visit to a local apple orchard. Every morning started with a superb breakfast that got us off on the right food. We will definitely be back.

The Inn at Sugar Hollow is a haven of peace and tranquility, not far from Skyline Drive. The hosts are very welcoming and you feel very cosseted in their beautifully furnished home. The breakfasts were a total treat, served buffet style and delicious. The spiced apples were particularly good. We enjoyed the company of other guests, some of whom were serial returners! The icing on the cake was a wonderful massage, after a long walk, arranged by Dick and Haydn. It was absolute bliss, especially with the aroma of cinnamon and apples lingering in the house! A fantastic introduction to Bed and Breakfasting in the USA. Loved all the personal touches. Heather and David Cassie, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK

The Inn at Sugar Hollow was actually our second choice when our first choice was booked. However, it will now be our first choice for stays in this area. The location may seem a bit out of the way, but infact it is super close to Skyline Drive!! The Inn Keepers, Hayden and Dick are wonderfully friendly. This wife and husband team live on the premises which is convenient. Their buildings are gorgeous. The views are breathtaking. Great amenities- esp the instant hot water tap for tea! We look forward to returning already!

My wife and I realyl enjoyed our Birthday/move reconassaince/ get-a-way from the kids stay at The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm. The grounds were gorgeous and well kept. Out of the way, but easy to find. It was so nice to stargaze again at night and see nary a 747 flying into Dulles every eight seconds. Friendly staff and owners that made you feel at home.

We visited the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm for two nights in September and had a wonderful time. The location is quite isolated (great for star gazing and quiet) and the property is large enough to provide privacy yet small enough to feel inviting. The Innkeepers were very personable and always available for questions. Breakfast each day was really unique. They served some very good familiar favorites (French toast, pancakes) with fun seasonal fare (tomatoes with basil, poor man's crab cakes). I was also impressed with the selection of drinks in the morning and the variety of choices in the Butler's pantries. There was also a communal mini-fridge which was great for keeping our personal food and drinks cold. We stayed in the Wildflower room in the Main House. The room has windows seats, a sitting area, a four-poster king-sized bed with incredibly soft sheets, a fireplace, and lots of closet space. The bathroom had a huge whirlpool tub -- it could fit two people easily. Both the room and its bathroom were immaculate. I have high cleanliness standards and both met them all. While we were out during the day, our room was cleaned and straightened. It was so nice to come back to a neat place. The walls are good sound barriers – we never heard any of the other guests when we closed the door. We used the Inn as a base to visit Monticello and the Downtown Mall. It was a 20-minute drive to everything and was a great, quiet place to come back to after a long day out. We ate at the Three Notch'd Grill in Crozet and the Downtown Grille in Charlottesville and thought both were worth the expense. The lamb and mushroom meatballs at Three Notch'd Grill were the best meatballs we ever had, and the filet mignon at Downtown Grille was really good. Also really good service there. We had a charming time and would definitely recommend the Inn and the area.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Dick and Hayden. This is the 2nd time we have stayed with them. They are truly wonderful B&B host and hostess. They gave us some of their valuable time to talk about the area since we are looking to move in the area in the near future. Their insight and sharing of experience was valuable. The inn is so lovely and you feel right at home right away. The views are delightful since they are at the base of the Mountains. Do not miss their yummy breakfast! What a treat! We look forward to seeing them again in the near future.

We checked into the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm after driving down through Shenandoah National Park. We were greeted by one of the owners, Hayden, who said that, because the suite near our room was vacant, they'd decided to upgrade us at no cost to the Shenandoah Suite. What a lovely, lovely room! It had a beautiful bed, a great sitting area with movies, crossword puzzles, and books, and a fantastic tub. It was such a kind thing for them to upgrade us -- it really made us feel welcome. At my husband's request, Hayden and Dick had stocked our fridge with wine and brought over a lovely basket with meats, cheeses, bread, and cookies -- everything was delicious, and there was enough left over for us to take on the road the next day. We later drove to Charlottesville for dinner, which took about 20 minutes. The Inn is a ways out of town, which was nice because it was so quiet and serene -- a nice change of pace in our hectic lives. Breakfast was lovely -- eggs, sausage, pancakes, baked apples. They also served these incredibly delicious cinnamon raisin muffins (wish I had the recipe!). We left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated, but we really loved our stay and hope to return someday, perhaps with our parents. Wish we could have stayed another day or two!

We stayed in the farmhouse, a short walk or ride from the main inn. We chose this room because it has an extra twin bed where our young child could stay. The room was very clean and nicely appointed. Upstairs, there is a common area with t.v. and a small refrigerator and microwave. The front porch is lovely (but no real view of the mountains). We are early risers and coffee drinkers, so since breakfast wasn't until 8:30 on Saturday and 9:00 on Sunday, we were a little bummed that our only coffee choice was instant made with water heated in the microwave (and we couldn't get the microwave to work the first day). On Sunday, we walked over to the main inn and had coffee and used the wi-fi over there (I'm not sure when they had coffee ready, but it was before breakfast) Other than that, everything was great! The owners couldn't be nicer and more helpful and the breakfast was delicious. I would prefer staying in the main inn, however, for the coffee and also for the views and usable outdoor spaces around the main inn. They have an upstairs patio (sleeping porch type) with adirondack chairs and a lovely view of the mountains, as well as a first floor patio outside the breakfast area. Still, we liked it enough in the farmhouse to book again! Again, we will be in the farmhouse due to needing the extra space/bed. The setting (gorgeous mountains) and location (near local wineries, cheese at the monastery, etc.), great restaurants in Crozet, the helpful and courteous staff, etc., make it worth coming back here!

Sugar Hollow is a wonderful place to stay. I'm not sure which is more beautiful, the scenery or the Inn. The only criticism I have is that the breakfast could be a little better. The food was certainly good, but it was not as amazing as the property or location. Highly, highly recommend Sugar Hollow for a weekend getaway or to celebrate a special occasion, like an anniversary.
5 en septiembre 13, 2012
Anyone who wants the best of innkeepers, the best of accommodations, the best of settings and the best of overall experience, stay at The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm. Dick and Hayden are so welcoming, taking every opportunity to assure comfort and relaxation even while being unobtrusive. All rooms with nooks and spaces for privacy or for socializing are perfect for supporting guests' needs and moods. Inside and outside architecture are stunning! Sugar Hollow offers the kind of getaway that makes guests feel as though they've really been away: refreshed and ready to return to the regular routine again.

A peaceful area with immaculate rooms and great service. Dick and Hayden made us feel at home and provided us with incredible breakfasts. If you needed information on some surrounding attractions, Dick gave us several other options that were not made available in my original search. I look forward to another visit to The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm and their pumpkin pancakes!

I went to school in Charlottesville but knew little about b&bs in the area- I found Sugar Hollow online and chose it based on others reviews/recs. I have to say I was not disappointed for the two nights we were there. Dick and Hayden were friendly when we arrived and they have recommendations for anything you want in the area. Breakfast was great and it felt like I was staying at a family member's home, coming down for breakfast with good food and conversation, before heading out on an adventure. The rooms are clean and homey. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

My wife and I wanted to celebrate our first anniversary in a special way - upon a friend's recommendation we decided to try the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm. The Inn was everything my friend told me and more ... the Inn is absolutely beautiful and well-decorated, everything about the Inn is about comfort and relaxation. More important was the personal touch of the Inn's keepers - Hayden and Dick and their staff. It was our first stay at a bed and breakfast so we did not know what to expect - we were made to feel very welcome and were treated like family as well as special guests. Dick and Hayden are VERY knowledgeable about what the area has to offer - the history, the wineries, places to eat and places to relax. Our stay was very special as is the Inn and the people who give of themselves to make it that way. From the excellent meals to the wonderful surroundings we could not have been more pleased and I'm sure you will be too. John And Patty, Chesapeake, VA.

Our family of five stayed for three nights in the Shenandoah suite and the Butterfly Room. Both are in the farm house separate from the main house. We were able to all gather comfortably in the Suite to visit together. Everything was very nice. The setting is beautiful and very private. Dick and Hayden were very gracious and knowlegable about the area. It was relaxing and a nice change from just a hotel room. I recommend it highly.

I stayed at the The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm for a long weekend. The Innkeepers and Staff were amazing - personable, funny, and friendly! I stayed in the premier Shenandoah Suite - WONDERFUL! Room included great furnishings, television, DVD player, CD player, jacuzzi tub, private deck - all surrounded by the peacefulnes of the trees in the foothills of the Shenandoah. Whether you want to relax, hike, do wine tastings, or experience the history of the area - The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm should be your home base!

We went online to find a place not too far from DC, but far enough away to escape from the craziness of the city. What a find! It was perfect. The Cabell's were wonderful hosts, making us feel right at home the moment we walked in. The property is private and expansive. Breakfast is really special. Great food, met new friends, and it was like a fun family gathering. We definitely enjoyed our stay!

The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm was highly recommended to us by our daughter and son-in-law and they were absolutely correct in their praise. It is a lovely inn in a beautiful and peaceful location. Crisp, clean and comfortable, it definitely exceeded our expectations. Our room was charming and breakfast was, in a word, delicious! Thank you, Hayden and Dick, for making us feel so welcome. We will definitely visit you again!

We had a wonderfull stay. The extras were what made our stay so great. We had acess to hot water/ coffee always, extra sitting rooms, a designated reading room, tv room, and a fabulous breakfast buffett. There was plenty of attractions in the area, but the views from the inn were beautiful. Claire Reed

Our stay at The Inn at Sugar Hollow (July 2012) was truly exceptional. The area is beautiful, the food exceeded my expectations, and the keepers made certain that every aspect of the stay was enjoyable. We planned our trip around a visit to Thomas Jefferson's Monitcello (which was worth the trip), but we were sorry we didn't build a few extra days into the trip to hike the trails of Shenandoah National Park (a few miles away) or visit one of the many wineries in the area. I have already recommended the inn to others and we hope to make a return trip in the future.

Our second trip to the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm didn't disappoint! Hayden and Dick have thought of absolutely every amenity to make your stay just like home. Actually, it's better than home!! Bit, the assistant innkeeper is full of suggestions for what to do in the area, keeping your preferences in mind. This inn is a little off the beaten track, but that makes it all the more relaxing. We can't wait for our next stay!

The drive back in to Sugar Hollow is like a step back in time. The Inn at Sugar Hollow is so delightful....quiet, peaceful. The Inn and the Inn's guest rooms are immaculate....no dust or grime anywhere and that is important to me. Beautifully decorated. Just as important are the owner's and the assistant manager's friendliness and warmth. We asked for a low carbohydrate breakfast and expected just eggs. We got a complete array of low carbohydrate food....much more than we expected. They went all out to accommodate dietary issues (diabetic). We weren't expecting that at all. I can't say enough about the sterling, interesting individuals who own and who work at the Inn. Also, the Inn has a nice deck for viewing wildlife and generally relaxing in the morning and evening. We didn't want to leave by the time we had spent two nights there.

Exceeding your expectations consistently is a hallmark at the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm. On a return visit, you settle right back into the comfort of sofa's you enjoy sitting in, beds you enjoy sleeping in, and service that makes you feel at home and that you are appreciated as a guest and part of the Inn family. You feel safe and snug, relaxed and most certainly well-fed dining on Dick's full breakfast buffet. Within an hours drive of the inn, there are enough wineries, historical sites and homes including Monticello, Montpelior and UVA, restaurants and farm-stands, to keep you occupied and entertained for weeks. You will become one of many guests who return time and time again.

The best B&B my wife and I have ever stayed at. Spectacular!
5 en junio 09, 2012
The Inn at Sugar Hollow was a pleasant surprise because we were not searching for a Bed & Breakfast when we headed to Charlottesville for the weekend. We found out UVA was graduating that weekend, so hotel rates were, well, extravagant. As it was, I figured that if I was going to pay that much, I was going to investigate the B&B scene around the area. We have stayed in B&B several times over the years, most recently on the Eastern Shore for our 25th wedding anniversary. When I was searching for a room, I ran across The Inn at Sugar Hollow and stopped my search. This was exactly what I was looking for, a great place just enough off the beaten path to feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, yet close enough to the amenities of the city. Our first night started late as we drove in after work on a Thursday. Dick met us, even though it was after hours, and escorted us to the room and showed us all the amenities. It was quick which allowed us to head right to bed. The weather was cool with a light breeze, so we left the windows open. We fell asleep the crickets and sound of the river, and slept like a rock. The next day was busy so we skipped breakfast and headed into town. That night we had dinner in Crozet and once again fell asleep to the sounds of the night. Saturday gave us the opportunity to eat a fantastic breakfast and meet many folks who were staying there to attend the UVA graduation. I definitely did not leave the table hungry for either food or good conversation. The food was fantastic! We hiked around the area, and then checked out the reservoir and park at the end of the road. We left that afternoon after a very relaxing time at The Inn at Sugar Hollow. I have already set my site on another visit and will always try to book this gem whenever I am in the area. Do not miss the opportunity to stay here !!

This is truly a first class Bed & Breakfast. The house is beautiful, the rooms are meticulously decorated. It is nestled into a glen at the base of the Shenandoah Mountains, and the roomms offer beautiful views of the mountain range. The great room has a gorgeous fireplace and beautiful large windows to view the surrounding area. Dick and Hayden are warm, welcoming and very helpful in planning activities. Breakfast is always plentiful and delicious. This is a place to get away, relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

This Inn is located in a quiet and magnificent rural valley which enhances the experience extensively with the absence of ambient light and the beautiful mountain surroundings. The facilities are modern, well-appointed and charming. The hosts are extremely helpful, accommodating and friendly. The breakfast buffet is outstanding. The Inn is ideally located to a good portion of the central Virginia wine country. The Inn has no downsides unless one does not like beauty and quiet.

Love this place, and we can attest that Dick & Hayden are no flash-in-the-pan innkeepers. They have been in business here for 17 years, and their enthusiasm, comfy rooms, and the inns themselves (you can choose between rooms in the main inn and the historic farmhouse just steps away) have lasting power you can count on! If you're looking for a relaxing country retreat where you feel restored and pampered, you will not be disappointed!

Found the Inn at Sugar Hollow through the Monticello wine trail website and was thrilled to enjoy some gracious hospitality. The Inn has to be your destination because it is off the beaten path. We were there just one night (the stars were brilliant in the clear air) but had some great conversation with Dick and got to meet other travelers at breakfast. The Cabells and Bit, the assistant innkeeper, love what they are doing and it shows. Go see 'em.

We celebrated our 30th anniversary at the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm for three bliss-filled days. When we arrived, the Feast meal, wine and roses were waiting in The Wildflower Room, which was perfect with a jacuzzi tub and fireplace and unbelievably soft sheets. The inn was beautifully decorated for Christmas and not "fussy" with clutter so you can enjoy the home to its fullest. The wonderful breakfasts provided by Dick, Hayden & Bit were out of this world. The entire staff made us feel like family. It's THE place to go for a quiet respite in this busy world. Can't wait to go back in the spring or fall to see the picture postcard views from the family room!

This B&B exceeded all our expectations. Innkeepers Dick and Hayden and their staff went out of their way to assure that our stay was flawless. Their staff also went above and beyond. Hayden has done a fantastic job decorating the rooms; they are perfect in every detail. The entire inn is spotless and perfectly maintained. The rural setting is so peaceful, and during the fall the mountains are truly spectacular. No cell coverage, unfortunately, but the Innkeepers go the extra mile to make landlines available and to assure that you can stay in touch with family and friends (if you want to). Breakfast is creative and very, very good. We asked for recipes for some of the fresh vegetable and fruit dishes that we especially liked. This is a wonderful inn and a wonderful adventure.

With a relative in UVA we have been seeking great places to stay in the Charlottesville area and have tried several. Nothing compares to the "home feel" of Sugar Hollow. The setting is magical and the decor given every attention. The best part is the people- Dick and Hayden Cabell and their staff. You feel like family and they treat you like royalty. You can be alone when you want to or part of the party when you don't. The other guests were our kind of folks. The breakfast experience deserves to be repeated. Although we live in Georgia, we will be back.

We stayed at The Farmhouse with our two sons and their families for a wedding in nearby Crozet. We kept the kids so their parents could enjoy the wedding activities. This was a great place for that.

Be prepared to have a get away as cell phones don't work.

I felt like I was staying with good friends-- friends who were amazing housekeepers and cooks, lived in a gorgeous setting and had excellent advice about the area.

Sugar Hollow is the best B&B we have ever visited. The setting is serene...perfect place to relax and unwind and get away from the everyday-ness of life. We stayed in the Shenandoah Suite which was almost like home. Innkeepers Dick & Hayden have made this place to feel like you're the only ones there. The place was spotless, clean and comfortable on the inside. The outside is surrounded by woods, mountainous scenery and wildlife. We had a doe and her baby visit us daily. We met some really nice people during our stay. The breakfasts made each morning were wonderful, didn't have to eat a thing until late afternoon. Bit added a special touch to our stay and made sure we knew where we were going for our daily drives, and he also was a hoot to hang out with. If you are looking for the perfect getaway, get to the Sugar Hollow...nothing compares!

It's difficult to imagine how a B&B experience could top this one! The surroundings are magnificent, the innkeepers most personable and the accommodations excellent. And then there's the breakfast!

We spent New Year's at the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm and our expectations were high. Dick and Hayden are gracious and knowledgeable hosts, but it was the attention to detail that won us over. We've stayed at a number of B&B's over the years and they surpassed our expectations. It made for a very memorable New Year's. We needed some recommendations regarding restaurants, directions into Charlottesville, the best wineries, etc. Not only did they have excellent recommendations (who knew Crozet had so many great restaurants?), they also provided directions that were accurate to the tenth of a mile. MapQuest isn't that accurate. An added bonus: Our fellow guests were charming, interesting people - and just chatty enough. Also, if there is a bit of local lore and trivia that Dick does not know about, we didn't find it. We're going to do some research before our next visit and see if we can stump the panel.

Stayed for 2 nights in December. This house has lots of windows and the views are great. Stayed in a room in the main house which was quiet and great for sleeping. Bedroom and bathroom very clean. Plenty of rooms to hang out in. My favorite was upstairs - WiFi was great and could make some instant popcorn and hot beverages. Hosts were great - very friendly. Location was outstanding - Mountain views, go past a couple of country stores, cross 2 one lane bridges to get here. Nice drive through the country down RT250 into Charlottesville. Good for hiking, visiting the universtiy, seeing Monticello.

We returned for our second visit to the Inn late September. We have stayed at two other B and B's in the area and you cannot beat the location and scenery of the Inn at Sugar Hollow. While the Inn is a newer buidling and doesn't have the history of some of the others in the area, the fact that it was built as a B and B means that the rooms are quiet and spacious, having modern conveniences. We woke up in the morning with a view of the meadow and could see deer chasing each other. We visited vineyards in the area and went into Charlottesville for a football game. Charlottesville is nearby-maybe 30 minutes. To be able to experience this beautiful location is worth the drive! Dick and Hayden are friendly and helpful. Dick is a great storyteller.

We stayed here on a recent football weekend at UVA. Since we are from Florida, it is always great to get to the mountains and have some scenery that isn't perfectly flat. It is absolutely gorgeous at the inn - complete with a family of deer that "live" in the nearby woods. Our stay was relaxing and Dick and Hayden are very gracious hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the inn.

Our daughter and family surprised us by giving us a two-night stay at the Inn. We'll take more presents like this one. We enjoyed two wonderful nights with Dick and Hayden and their attentive staff. What a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Nearby restaurants in Crozet, suggested by our hosts, were excellent. My husband, a retired peanut farmer, especially enjoyed his conversations with Dick who is so knowledgeable about history and growing tobacco. Every little whim has already been thought out and provided for. The wineries were such great fun. And there is so much to do around Charlottesville. The Inn at Sugar Hollow is an outstanding location to forget your cares and relax .

We headed out Friday afternoon, Memorial Day weekend, on our romantic motorcycle trip together, my boyfriend on his bike and I on mine... then the storm rolled in. The trip to Sugar Hollow took much longer than expected with torrential rains (the kind you can't see through), flooded roads, and lightening. We finally arrived and Sugar Hollow's owner, Dick Cabell, who I'd spoken to earlier in the day was worried and waiting for us on the front porch. He greeted us with genuine concern and thankful we had arrived safe, and after warming up and showering, with the rains still coming down, he even lent us his personal vehicle so we could go to dinner at a very special restaurant to us, for very special reasons, since we could not go on the motorcycles. We will never forget our 1 night stay at Sugar Hollow or the hospitality of Dick and Hayden Cabell. We can't wait to go back!!

Very clean, comfortable and relaxing Inn. Innkeepers Hayden and Dick are very freindly and accomodating. Hearty, tasty breakfasts served with a homelike charm. The Inn's quiet and scenic surrondings were a welcome relief from everyday life. I will be recommending it to my friends and hope to return soon.

What a great time we had with hosts Dick and Hayden. This was our 5th visit and each time we stay in a different room. It was "Woodland" this time. It was Perfect! Nice and cozy. Superb breakfast- Dick's famous cinnamon French toast and Asaparagus quiche! Yummmmm The Inn is so peaceful and the butterfly bushes were teeming with hundreds of extraordinary buterflies. We just love Sugar Hollow Farm because it is so beautifully nestled in the Shenendoah Valley and so close to many wonderful Virginia sights. This time we visited Madison's home, Monpellier. We can't say enough great things about this B & B!! :-)

We stayed for just one night, but were enthralled. The Inn, which is two separate houses, is beautiful, spotlessly clean, and perfectly located at the base of the mountains. Breakfast was wonderful, and served buffet style in a room overlooking the sloping yard and hills beyond. The innkeepers were gracious and accomodating, and provided a wealth of information about surrounding attractions, towns, dining areas, etc. We would happily return!

We selected Sugar Hollow Farm for their excellent location, and got away for a long romantic weekend. We were amazed at the beauty of the Farm, how every detail was perfect, and we loved the real wood fireplace in our room with the private hot tub and incredible bed. The food and the hospitality was simply a bonus. We couldn't have been more satisfied and comfortable in this quiet and beautiful setting.

What a refreshing respite from urban living nestled away at the Inn at Sugar Hollow! My husband and I had the good fortune to find this wonderful B&B online before our trip to VA. It is everything and more than described in the website. We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights there. There is potential excellent small stream fishing within a mile of the Inn in season, which is our forte..another incentive to stay at the Inn. This was a highlight of our journey to NC and VA. Dick and Hayden are wonderful hosts and make you feel right at home while offering valuable information for the traveler like interesting history and minutae about the local area. It would be our pleasure to visit the Inn at Sugar hollow once again...plus, the food is fabulous. I would still like the recipe for those wonderful zuchinni cakes! Happy travels...Dan and Kay Busby

Herbert Von King Park
Almira Kennedy Coursey Amphitheatre
This amphitheatre, located in Herbert Von King Park, is named in honor of Almira Kennedy Coursey (1914-1996) who lived a life of service and devotion to her community.
Born in New Bern, North Carolina, Almira Kennedy attended school in Winston-Salem and graduated from Saint Augustine's College in 1934. Her strong attachment to her college led to a career in education. It was at this time that her dedication to community service began to take shape. As a young woman, she served briefly as the Assistant Dean of Women at Saint Augustine's, and soon after, began to teach in Clayton, North Carolina. She was particularly interested in the education and upbringing of women, and started a program for teenage girls that she called the 'Three Ws Program'. The 'Three Ws' signified 'Fine Womanhood', 'Wholesome Recreation' and 'Willingness to Serve'. These themes had personal significance for her, and she shared them with others throughout her life.
In the late 1940s, she moved to Bedford Stuyvesant, where she met Henry Ellis Coursey (d. 1968) and raised a family of three children. There she continued to work to improve her community through education. She taught at Macon Junior High School while earning a master's degree in student personnel administration at Teacher's College. In 1968, she served as special assistant to the vice chancellor of the City University of New York where she developed programs to assist minority students. She worked with many advocacy groups in her surrounding neighborhood, received numerous awards including one from the Tompkins Park Recreational and Cultural Association, and served on several city-wide committees on poverty and education under Mayors Wagner (act. 1954-1965) and Lindsay (act. 1966-1973).
As one of the leaders of the Tompkins Park Recreation & Cultural Association, Almira Coursey was instrumental in the renovations of what was then called Tompkins Park (now Von King Park), including the establishment of the Eubie Blake Auditorium and the construction of the Kosciusko Pool. The recommendation for this naming of the amphitheatre was proposed by the Tompkins Park Recreation and Cultural Association and endorsed by Council Member Albert Vann and Community Board 3.
Almira Kennedy Coursey practiced her beliefs throughout her career, to the benefit of all that were around her. She is remembered here for her commitment to her community.

Buy Bristol-Myers, Says Citi; Stock Jumps 7%
Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) stock is up more than 7% today, and leading the Standard & Poor's 500 index, thanks in part to a Citi Research note which upgraded the company to Buy and raised the stock's price target to $55 from $33.
As analyst Andrew Baum writes:
We have increased our forecasts by up to 27% following an in-depth analysis of the opportunities for BMY's immunotherapy portfolio outlined in our companion report...While we are unable to predict the dominant indications or even combinations for BMY's checkpoint portfolio, we are confident that the portfolio in aggregate will likely exceed $10bn in 2022. We anticipate BMY to grow revenues at 10% CAGR between 2014 and 2019, with EPS growth at 17% CAGR over the same period aided by a mix driven increase in contribution margins. Further out, we have extended the anticipated introduction of generic competition for Eliquis unto 2026 (compared with 2023 previously). We note the acceptance of SPC (Supplementary Protection Certificate) in the EU extending patent protection until 2026 and we assume BMY is seeking a patent term extension in the US to the same time period...
Among global multinationals, BMS appears most closely aligned with our "Shrink, Smarten and Spin" industry framework given its well-entrenched search and development strategy and historically strong execution track record. BMS also has several pipeline assets in the exciting immunotherapy space that is likely to have a paradigm-changing impact on treatment of several cancers. We believe immunotherapies will likely become the treatment backbone in up to 60% of cancers over the next 5-7 years, presenting a $35bn revenue potential for the industry.
As Baum writes, he sees Bristol-Myers' potential as similar to that of some of his favorite biotechnology companies:
Our $55 PT reflects a 24x FY14e multiple, commensurate with an anticipated 17% 2014-2019 EPS CAGR in line with US biotechs (BUY rated Biogen (BIIB), Celgene (CELG), Gilead (GILD)).
Today's move has pushed Bristol-Myers' stock to a 52-week high on higher-than-average volume. The company is up 44% this year.

Farley is an avid runner. He doesn't train for races but is on pace to log at least 2,400 miles in 2012. His New Year's Resolution was to run less. Three years ago he topped 3,000 miles.
Farley is a pilot with more than 2,400 flight hours. He aspired to fly for the U.S. Air Force but nearsightedness kept him from it. He is a veteran of the U.S. Army.
Washburn University has transformed in the last 15 years from what some called sleepy to vibrant. What has not changed is the commitment to serving all students, no matter when or how they arrive.
Many on campus attribute the transformation to Jerry Farley, who was inaugurated as president July 1, 1997. Washburn's 16th president, Farley is known for his bow ties, outgoing personality and passion for both Washburn and Topeka.
"Washburn University is riding a wave of success that is the result of 15 years of hard work by Dr. Farley and his leadership team and all of the fantastic individuals at this university," said Cynthia Hornberger, special assistant to the president, who was a faculty member when Farley came to campus. "He has enabled the university to redefine itself and realign itself to its original mission."
JuliAnn Mazachek, executive director of the Washburn Foundation, wrote a nomination letter on Farley's behalf for a chief executive leadership award in 2007. "Dr. Farley's 10 years as President of Washburn have changed the face and future of Washburn University," she wrote. "Washburn has moved to new levels of excellence across campus."
Farley won that award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education District VI, and kept right on going.
Since Farley arrived on campus, nine buildings have been constructed or renovated, one has been moved to campus, Yager Stadium at Moore Bowl has been revitalized, Washburn and its Ichabods have become recognizable far beyond Topeka and the university has enjoyed record student enrollment.
Farley said he didn't come to campus 15 years ago with a "grand plan" but remembers feeling that Washburn was "just on the edge of being able to do something, to really take the next step. It just needed the right amount of ambition and self-confidence as an institution."
So he set about listening, learning and getting involved with the community. His first major project on campus was construction of the Living Learning Center, which he said was the pivotal point in an attitude shift from "We're here, come if you'd like" to "We're here and we may be the place for you."
"The idea took root and we were able to build it," Farley said, recalling the effort of gathering support for the $20 million project that changed the heart of campus.
Today the difference is unmistakable. Washburn has gone from fewer than 200 bed spaces on campus in 1997 to 676 today, with a waiting list for the Living Learning Center. More students are coming directly from high school and from outside of Topeka. More students become alumni who are involved on campus. And more alumni and community partners are giving financially to support Washburn's growth.
Washburn is a more comfortable place to live, study and play. The grounds are meticulously landscaped for aesthetic enjoyment of the campus community and visitors. And future efforts will add even more energy to campus.
Farley said he expects a study this fall related to residence hall demand and likely more construction. He is excited about the creation of a Welcome Center at Morgan Hall and a significant space improvement for the Law School, which is under discussion. Focus on academics has allowed Washburn, an open admission university, to meet the needs of its students. And continued integration of Washburn University and the Washburn Institute of Technology will mean more options – and more diplomas – for students.
Washburn, Farley said, is well positioned to meet the expectations of employers looking for qualified graduates and of parents and students looking for a quality education that is a value for the tuition dollar. "We are poised again for dramatic change."
Before coming to Washburn, Farley only occasionally wore his now iconic bow ties. The first one he ever bought – on a whim while vacationing with his wife, Susan, in Branson, Mo. – is now one of about 100 different ties.
His first official Washburn photo shows him in a necktie. And a photo from the Oct. 31, 1997 edition of the Washburn Review shows him at his desk in a dress shirt and dark neck tie. "People wouldn't believe that now," Farley said with a laugh.
He's sported only bows since fall 1997 when an article featuring him said, as Farley recalls it, any one could find him because he's the one in the bow tie.
"I haven't taken it off since."

In the annals of heroic Antarctic exploration, the names of Robert Falcon Scott, Ernest Shackleton and Roald Amundsen have all become immortalised.
But now American author David Roberts is seeking to resurrect the achievements of a much lesser known explorer, Sir Douglas Mawson, whose exploits in the frozen southern continent match, or even better, those of his more famous contemporaries.
Mawson, whose family left the UK for Australia when he was 2, made several trips to the Antarctic, braving conditions and dangers every bit as dangerous as his rival explorers. But his trips also involved more exploration and provided more valuable information than his rivals'.
Roberts's book, Alone on the Ice, tells how Mawson was among the first to discover what was then thought to be the position of the magnetic south pole, rather than the geographic pole that was less scientifically important.
Roberts believes that Mawson is so little known for two reasons. First, he was Australian, and the British press was more interested in homegrown heroes such as Scott.
And second, Mawson shunned the exciting race to the South Pole.
"The three-way race between Scott, Shackleton and Amundsen was a story for the masses. But it was a lot harder to do what Mawson wanted to do," Roberts said.
Yet Mawson's exploits, chronicled in horrifying detail in Roberts's book, are the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters. Mawson and his colleagues were so starved they regularly shot and ate their huskies. Icebergs are dodged, crevasses crawled over, blizzards sheltered from, and astonishing feats of endurance performed with stiff upper lips, partly from the frostbite.
At the heart of the book is Mawson's Australasian Antarctic expedition of 1911 to 1914. It saw numerous teams of explorers set up three permanent bases in which to survive a terrible, dark, stormy winter. With warmer weather Mawson, Swiss skier Xavier Mertz and army officer Belgrave Ninnis headed out from a base camp at Commonwealth Bay into the vast, empty wilderness.
Disaster turned the return journey into one of the most stunning stories of survival in all Antarctic exploration.
As they traversed snowy ice fields with sledges pulled by dogs, Ninnis and his sledge plunged into a crevasse. He was dead, and his sledge carried the team's tent and most of their food. Mawson and Mertz faced a desperate rush back to base without a tent, in howling gales and with only tiny amounts of food. It was an appalling journey, with the huskies becoming a source of food as well as a way to pull the sleds.
Desperately weak and suffering from peeling skin, hair loss and frostbite, Mawson and Mertz were delayed by the weather and Mertz became weak and delirious, forcing them to halt. But as Mertz lay dying, Mawson refused to leave him, risking his own survival.
After Mertz's death, Mawson plunged through the snow over a crevasse and ended up hanging by a rope after his sledge became wedged in the snow. By then starving, Mawson's diary revealed his anger that he would die without gorging himself on the food remaining on his sledge. He hauled himself back up twice after the snow edge collapsed under his weight.
For Roberts, Mawson's mental fortitude was more remarkable than his physical strength. "He was immensely mentally tough," he said.
Mawson made it back to the camp hours after the expedition boat left and had to endure another Antarctic winter.
But at least they had a radio working and Mawson sent a message to his Australian fiance Paquita Delprat. Having suffered unimaginable loneliness, deprivation and the loss of two friends, Mawson's message began with an understatement worthy of any hero: "Deeply regret delay only just managed to reach hut."

Title: Monitored Natural Attenuation for Petroleum Contaminated Sites
Identification Number: W0054-WASTE
Date Originally Adopted: March 18, 2004
Dates Revised: None
Other Policies Repealed or Amended: None
Brief Description of Subject Matter:
IDEM criteria by which sites requesting Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) as a remedial option will be evaluated.
Citations Affected: Indiana Code (IC) 13-23 - Underground Storage Tanks; IC13-24-1 - Petroleum Releases, IC 13-25-5; 329 Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) 9 - Underground
This nonrule policy document is intended solely as guidance and does not have the effect of law or represent formal Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) decisions or final actions. This nonrule policy document shall be used in conjunction with applicable laws. It does not replace applicable laws, and if it conflicts with these laws, the laws shall control. This nonrule policy document may be put into effect by IDEM 30 days after presentation to the appropriate board. Pursuant to IC 13-14-11.5, this policy will be available for public inspection for at least 45 days prior to presentation to the appropriate board. If the nonrule policy is presented to more than one board, it will be effective 30 days after presentation to the last. IDEM will submit the policy to the Indiana Register for publication. Revisions to the policy will follow the same procedure of presentation to the board and publication.
The primary purpose for this non-rule policy document (NPD) is to do the following:
This NPD applies to remediation of soil and ground water using MNA for refined petroleum releases as defined by IC 13-11-2-160. It is written with the intention of being consistent with all relevant laws and policies including, but not limited to, the Risk Integrated System of Closure (RISC). Information collected during implementation of a MNA CAP may also be used for closures using RISC or any other appropriate program guidance.
Once the soil and ground water investigation is completed, the responsible party may choose to use a RISC closure demonstration or a remediation method, including MNA, as the corrective action plan. When choosing a RISC closure demonstration, the CAP requirements will be satisfied by meeting the requirements of Section 6.3.3 of the RISC Technical Resource Guidance Document.
This NPD is not intended to exclude the use of any closure options available using RISC or other guidance such as a plume stability demonstration. Information collected before or during the MNA monitoring may be used to evaluate a site for closure at any time. The sampling frequency, chemicals of concern, data quality objectives, etc. may vary depending on the program area and contaminant(s).
The use of MNA for hazardous substances as defined by IC 13-11-2-98 or other chemicals of concern is not included in the scope of this NPD. Any decisions regarding the remediation of these substances will be determined on a site-specific basis.
As Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) has become an accepted remedial technology, the IDEM determined that many CAPs proposing MNA were incomplete or inappropriate. For that reason, the IDEM determined that a NPD is needed for the following reasons:
Monitored natural attenuation is appropriate as a remedial approach only when it can be demonstrated capable of achieving a site's remedial objectives within a time frame that is reasonable compared to engineered systems and/or source removal. The IDEM expects that monitored natural attenuation typically will be used in conjunction with active remediation measures, e.g. source control or removal, or as a follow-up to active remediation measures that have already been implemented. The amount of site characterization necessary for MNA may be greater than the characterization required for engineered systems since these systems often provide greater hydraulic control of ground water plumes.
When considering MNA as a remedial option, developers of CAPs should use a stepped approach. The steps are as follows:
Step 1 - Initial Screening
This step lists the basic conditions which should be met in order to consider MNA as a remedial option.
Step 2 - Generic Approval
This step lists all of the COC concentration limits needed for generic approval. Since the COC limits are relatively low concentration of COCs in the soil and ground water, sites meeting these limits will be approved for MNA under normal conditions.
Step 3 - Site Specific Approval
This step provides more detailed monitoring and demonstration requirements due to relatively high concentrations of COCs in the soil and ground water. If Step 3 is used when developing a CAP, Step 2 is not required.
The following conditions in Step 1 should be met for MNA approval:
If all of the Step 1 conditions are met, proceed to Step 2. If all of the Step 1 conditions are not met, MNA is not acceptable.
If all of the following Step 2 conditions are met, then the CAP is generally acceptable. If all of the Step 2 conditions are not met, proceed to Step 3.
If Step 1 conditions are met, but not Step 2, then a justification may be required for approval. When evaluating sites for MNA using Step 3, IDEM will need the following additional information:
The justification should include, but is not limited to, a computer generated site model to predict the fate and transport of the contaminants, remediation objectives and timeframe for achieving the remediation objectives. Under most circumstances, closure objectives should be reached within three (3) times the time it would take using an engineered system while not exceeding 15 years.
IDEM reserves the right to make site specific decisions regarding additional information requests or MNA CAP approval based on the nature of the contaminants, age of the release and site conditions.
The following discussion items should be included in the CAP along with other information that may be required by the individual remediation program:
If the site is approved to use MNA for corrective action, IDEM may require one or both of the following:
This is a non-rule policy document, not a law or regulation. Special circumstances and/or site conditions may allow for modified action. Information collected during the monitoring period, may be used for closure determination under the relevant program guidance.
