Anita was wonderful. We didn't want for anything. The Inn is beautiful, and clean. I will be coming back again, and sending all my friends and family there.

The Milton House Bed and Breakfast Inn is a real treasure nestled near Skyline Drive. The drive from DC is not difficult and, for me, has always been relaxing knowing what full well what's at the destination. The town of Stanley is your typical "small town" and a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of "jet-set DC." There are just enough restaurants and shops to keep you busy for a great getaway weekend. The movie theater always has current films. Church on Sunday? Whatever your flavor, you can find it.

The Inn from the outside looks like your typical B&B with a well manicured yard. The home has some historical significance in that it was originally purchased from the Sears catalog. I didn't know that Sears used to sell homes. The quality of the home is excellent; the same standard as the old Kenmore appliances, I suppose. That being said...what Anita and John, the innkeepers have done with the home is absolutely amazing. The interior is decorated absolutely beautiful. The decorative wallpaper, traditional furnishings, fireplaces, and chandeliers add to the elegance and charm of this wonderful home. The linens are high quality, the mattresses are extremely comfortable, and the pillows are "just right." You will not want to leave the bed...and you don't have to. The room was meticulously cleaned and linens carefully placed. I was particularly impressed with the book that Anita had put together for the room which contained information on some many activities of things to do in the area. I also loved the selection of coffee, tea, and hot cocoa in my room and special touch of a wine bottle opener and ice bucket. Anita and John had thought of everything.

Breakfast at the Inn was out of this world. You can fill up on breakfast and skip lunch. There was a lot of food. Anita cooks like a gourmet chef. I remember the first time I at there, I started with yogurt and granola and fruit. There were also pastries on the table. I thought that was it. No, there was more. There was a delicious western omelet with cheese, onions, and peppers and link maple sausage. My coffee cup was never empty. Did I say the food is excellent? Anita and John are also excellent conversationalists. They are extremely cordial and gracious hosts. I have been to this Inn several times over the last few years and have never been disappointed.

I absolutely love my visits to the Milton Inn. It is such a wonderful getaway from the DC rat race. I always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. I have always stayed in the main house and once stayed in the room with the jacuzzi, which only added to the relaxation. Though I have children of my own, I am thankful for the "no kids" policy. It is the reason I chose to stay at the Milton Inn for the first time. It is a wonderfully relaxing home for adults. If you go there once, you'll be back again!

My Husband and I rented the lower level cabin in September 2010 for 2 nights for his birthday. It looked really cute from the website, but when we got there I could see it wasn't at all what we thought it would be. The bathroom is tiny with a rusty base board heater. The shower is like a tiny, dark closet (almost comical really because my husband is tall and lean and could barely move in there and good luck finding room to even shave your legs if you're a woman!), and the whole room just didn't feel like it was worth $200 per night. Floors and furniture were really dated and just didn't feel luxurious at all (sloppy laminate flooring, we thought it was wood flooring when we went to the website).
Also breakfast was a let down. The upper level cabin seemed to be the only other room rented that weekend. So when we had breakfast delivered to the room each morning, we were disappointed to get OJ from a carton (not fresh), pillsbury cinnamon rolls from a can (really?), and some whatever eggs with tomato and sausage tossed in along with some bacon. I was hoping for the B&B experience where you get homeade breads, fresh juice, etc. That's what we've gotten at B&B's for half the price all over the country when we've traveled. I always thought that was the point of going to them?
The bed was comfortable, but we could hear the neighbors upstairs stamping around and murmured voices all night, so not very romantic at all. The other thing I disliked was looking out the windows and little patio at washlines, random yard junk from the neighbors, an RV over an old fence, and some dead plants that could have been clipped back or removed for the season. The house is not secluded at all nor is the Cabin. You have residential neighbors on both sides of you, so no privacy outdoors at all. Main house looks cute, but just not in an ideal location. Not scenic at all unless you drive for a bit.
Definitely not worth $200 per night. Oh, and there was no wireless internet either.

Anita --, the owner of this inn, is one of the most dishonest business owners I've ever dealt with. We were overcharged, taken advantage of, and verbal attacked. I will never stay at this Inn.
