To escape the madness of the Inauguration activities, we escaped to the Goodstone Inn in Middleburg, Virginia. Only about an hour from DC, but we felt like we had really escaped! It was lovely! The property is amazing! There are five different houses on the 265 acre property with only 17 rooms. We stayed in the Dutch Cottage and we called ahead to see if anyone was staying in the second room and to our surprise they said they reserved the entire cottage for us. David called ahead and arranged for candles, rose peddles, flowers and champagne (cider for me)...it was super romantic. We dined in the restaurant our first night and it was nearly as nice as the Inn at Little Washington (our best meal in the area...nothing still has beat the Otahuna Lodge in New Zealand). It was seven courses of amazing food and presentation. The second day it snowed and the countryside was beautiful. After exploring the quaint town of Middleburg, we cuddled up to the fire and enjoyed a day in the cottage. We will definitely return to the Goodstone! Check it out.
