My husband and I just returned from a lovely stay at Evergreen. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly treated by the innkeepers, Rocco and Barbara Capozzi, and our every need was quickly fulfilled.

The room itself was large and beautifully furnished with inspiration from Gone with the Wind. The king-size bed was very comfortable and had soft (they'd been ironed!) sheets. There is was a small TV/VCR in the room and movies are available from an eclectic collection.

There are porch swings, a pool and a gazebo if you want to be outdoors and explore the grounds, or you can cozy up with a book in any number of beautiful public rooms throughout the inn.
There's a huge library filled with an amazing variety of books and even a grand piano for those who play. They also serve tea if you make arrangements in advance.

At breakfast, we were treated to the best coffee I've ever had in the U.S. and a wonderful selection of bread and muffins. There was also freash fruit. (We had opted for a light meal instead of a traditional Southern affair.) We'll definitely be back, and next time we'll try the full breakfast.

The house is just a block from the downtown area of Christiansburg, so everything is convenient. And the Blue Ridge parkway is close by. Rocco and Barbara know the area and can make lots of recommendations for dining or activities.
