Colonial Beach, VA

Theron researched and found a wonderful Bed & Breakfast Inn for us to stay at this year. We stayed at The Bell House in Colonial Beach, VA. It was owned at one time by Alexander Graham Bell's father, then it was willed to Alexander, AND the builder was the Federal Commander Burnside's son. So, lots of history connected to the house! The innkeeper is a lady named Anne, and she is a very gifted innkeeper. She was a great hostess & super cook. We will be going back there again for sure.
The following are some of the pictures we took...we forgot to take one of the outside, but will do that soon, and post it when we do. We highly recommend this inn to anyone who wants to get away for a bit, but doesn't want to travel far. Prices were very reasonable, too. There's a restaurant we loved, too, called The Dockside. It's only about 30 or 40 minutes from our church so we hope to head that way soon some Sunday after church with friends.

This is in the hall right outside our door...it is a window in the ceiling so you can see the copula. There is a light installed so you can see way up to the top. Really neat!
There is a libray across the hall from the room we stayed in. We were in the only guest room on the top floor. There was also a widow's walk right outside our door. This picture was taken in the library...we just set the timer on the camera and then posed.
These are some views of "our" room. It was so nice and quiet!
All the guest rooms in this inn have their own private bath. That is something we always look for in a B&B!! The door here opens to the bathroom for our room.
Theron is waiting for me to finish taking pictures so we can go out to lunch! He's sitting on a very comfortable couch in our room.
This is the library. All guests have access to it, but that night there was only one other couple in the house, and they never came upstairs, so we had the whole floor to ourselves.
