The Wayside more than met our expectations for early American historic properties. It has a broad selection of antique-filled bedrooms that are clean and comfortable. The public spaces vary from an 18th century log tavern encased in the younger early 19th century spaces with elegant Victorian parlors, all immaculately dusted. The floors are likewise beautifully kept up. The staff is welcoming and kindly and eager to talk about the Inn and its history. The restaurant Clem's Kitchen has a charming, attentive staff and excellent food with a vegetarian polenta that far surpassed the pasta option usually found in meat predominant restaurants. Their cocktails were superior. We plan to stay there any time we are in the Shenandoah Valley and will recommend it to friends and family who like to travel historic byways.

If your history buff exploring the area this is your ideal base of operations. Close to many local historical sites and the place itself is a piece of Americana. If the walls could talk in this place who knows what it would tell us about the past. The place is remarkably well kept given its age and the centuries old architecture lends to the quaintness of this landmark.
