    What a fabulous stay! The B&B is in an incredibly optimal location - directly next to the VMFA and walking distance to Kerry street. The suite we stayed in was gorgeous and was so comfortable. The bathroom was huge and had a steam shower and clawfoot tub! While we didn't have breakfast, they have a great made-to-order menu.
  • Tiffany - Trip Advisor
    I had a wonderful stay! Melinda was so hospitable and accommodating! It was a fabulous experience and a wonderful place to visit. I would love to go back and spend more time. It was perfectly placed in the museum district and with Cary Street only a few blocks away with awesome food and shopping.
  • Annamarie - Trip Advisor
    I loved staying at the Museum B&B! I stayed in the carriage house. It's an adorable room with a bathroom and cute front porch. Perfect if you're traveling solo or with a partner. I love historic houses so the carriage house was perfect and very charming. I immediately took a bath in the clawfoot tub. The hostess was very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place.
