Room 14 was great for spirit activity as well as the rest of the property! Highly recommend ghost hunters to explore the inn. Food at their Larick’s tavern was delish!! Overall service and staff were knowledgeable and friendly! We had a great experience for our anniversary!

Old Inn with unique features great for those who don’t want the cookie cutter experience. Great history and furniture was amazing, the building itself was incredible. Lot of history in the building. The manager was very knowledgeable about the history and property. Staff was great. Enjoyed my visit.

If your history buff exploring the area this is your ideal base of operations. Close to many local historical sites and the place itself is a piece of Americana. If the walls could talk in this place who knows what it would tell us about the past. The place is remarkably well kept given its age and the centuries old architecture lends to the quaintness of this landmark.

Wonderful historic town and tavern. When you want to stay in something other than the usual hotel this is a fun alternative. Historic for sure - dining only on certain days but plenty of good choices around - don’t miss Shaffer’s barbecue further down road - incredible food!!!!!

I'd stay there again!
We were fortunate enough to stay in one of the original rooms. Beautifully decorated, comfortable,clean and quiet. Exceptionally nice staff which told us the history of the Inn. I look forward to returning and having brunch with them on a Sunday.

Only stay here if you are a history buff. Do not stay on an upper floor during the summer. The cooling is terrible because of the age of the building. It was clean and quiet. Picture is deceptive because the bar and restaurant are not open.

Unique and lovely inn
What a unique inn!!!! It was very comfortable and the staff was wonderful to the point where the woman at the front desk walked me to my room, pointed out various things in the room as well as, when I went down to dinner, gave me a tour of the various dining rooms. I will definitely stay at the Wayside Inn again.

If you like history, historical buildings and ghosts, then this is the place you! You can get a free tour of the building with one of the Staff during the day, or you can do your own at night with the ghosts. Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable and I can't wait to stay there again!

Quaint and historical and comfortable too
Stayed at the Wayside Inn/Larricks Tavern in Middletown (basically on the Cedar Creek battlefield). A quaint historical place, like staying in someone's fancy home. I will return here on future explorations of the Shenandoah.
