if you are nostalgic for old architecture and you don't mind squeaky floors and stairs then is a great place to stay to explore the area for a weekend.

Very interesting history to this Inn, it will appeal to some folks just for that reason, but it is lovely, clean and modernized. Beautiful setting in Staunton and within walking distance of downtown and restaurants.

A gorgeous amazing property! Check in and out was easy! Walkable to downtown. Cute rooftop view.

10/10

Overall experience was fantastic. Staff was friendly. Service was great. Room was clean & ready. Bed was very comfy. The only complaint I have, which is super minor and obviously due to the age, is that some flooring and other surfaces are super worn. Realistically you're fine to walk around bare foot, there's just some uneven spots and the super unlikely chance you may get a splinter or hit a nail sticking up.

We are caretakers for my daddy and my brother is a pastor near the Blackburn. He provides a respite weekend every Easter so was our second stay here. Everything was wonderful - friendly staff, beautiful setting, and clean room! It's a great place to just get away from the stress of living 🙂 I highly recommend!

Interesting unique historical setting. Our room was spacious and comfortable and quiet. Just a walk or short ride to downtown restaurants and shops, Shakespeare playhouse, etc. We were disappointed that bistro/bar onsite wasn't open.

The facility was marvelous, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable. I enjoyed the reading room, which had very comfortable seating. The grounds are wonderful, and the view from the tower is amazing. The town of Staunton is so full of history and beautiful architecture.

This property is amazing! My wife and I wanted a place to get away with a downtown that is walkable for shopping, dining and drinks Staunton is great. The staff at Blackburn is the best, especially Amber! Live the history of this resort and we can’t wait until more of the renovations are complete. Will definitely be back!
