An extraordinary experience and a fantastic value. Our stay is a cherished...See More

Stellar B&B in the heart of colonial Fredericksburg. You can easily walk to nearly all the colonial-era points of interest, plus many bars and restaurants.

The Canopy Room is charming and well appointed. The view from the room overlooked the charming garden patio area. Breakfast was delicious and thoughtfully presented. Much attention to detail throughout the stay was evident. Friendly service from the minute of check-in to the moment of check-out. Enjoyed my stay at the historic Richard Johnston Inn!
