Just stayed for a weekend at Widow's Kip and the accommodations were wonderful. We got a free upgrade to the Silk Purse cottage, which was a separate stand-alone structure consisting of a bed, kitchenette area, bathroom and living room area with TV and fireplace. Overall, it was excellent. As good as the room was, the breakfasts were even better. Bob... More

My husband and I spent a fun weekend in the Shenandoah Valley. We had originally planned to rent a cabin in the area but couldn't find what we were looking for. We remembered seeing literature on Widow Kip's years ago and decided to check it out. We were not disappointed! We stayed in a little cottage on the property--and best... More

Historic home; cozy atmosphere; charming hosts; great breakfast; beautiful location....here is a combination that is sure to please everyone looking for a home away from home while in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The house is historic but well modernized--a few more electrical outlets for computers, phone chargers, etc. would be nice-- with working fireplaces and nicely decorated. Betty and... More

We went to Widow Kip's in late December and made it our home base for a ski trip to Bryce, and had a wonderful time. The Silk Purse Cottage was ideal for the two of us and our two dogs. It was very homey and cozy and clean and comfortable -- a warm, old-fashioned feel. The master bedroom has lovely... More

I rarely write reviews, but a recent posting relating to The Widow Kip's Country Inn quite simply left me speechless and requires a response. The review was replete with multiple errors and deliberate misrepresentations. My wife and I have spent the past 15 years celebrating Thanksgiving weekend at Widow Kip's, all in one of the cottages located next to the... More

I stayed here for a few days before Christmas as a writer's retreat, bringing my dog Joey and staying in one of the cottages. It was great to have a pretty place where I could bring Joey and he enjoyed the grassy path that circled five acres of fenced-in hayfields. The Silk Purse cottage had a covered porch, a large...

For the last three years in May and October we stay at Widow Kips with our Dog and Cat. The owners Bob & Betty are wonderful hosts, the Inn is clean, and our accommodations couldn't have been better. The grounds are beautiful, and we would definitely recommend staying there!

There is nothing worse than thinking you are going to stay for a romantic weekend in a "Country Inn", as the Widow Kips described itself, and finding out instead you are in for a nightmare stay. It was old (not in the good way), run down, dirty (they never made the bed or changed the towels while we were there)... More

Stayed here early October 2012 for four nights. We arrived early, so sat on the porch and watched the wonderful birdlife in the garden - red cardinals included. The house is charming, as are the hosts, Bob and Betty. Nothing was too much trouble and the breakfasts were delicious every morning, especially the home made apple cinnamon syrup! We stayed... More
