Museum District Bed & Breakfast

Late night check in due to late flight...hostess responded via telephone and text...left written instructions for me to checkin but also met me at the door and escorted me to my space. Large suite...robes..comfy bed...bottled waterChilly room warmed by a little table top heater. Enjoyed coffee, cranberry juice, eggs, croissant, bacon and yogurt parfait for breakfast. Only wish...because I love luxury bath products...wish they would partner with a local luxury brand for toiletries etc for this BNB...I will return

I have stayed at the Museum District Bed and Breakfast twice, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about it!I used to live in the Fan/Museum District, and I love this place because it is in such a good location, right next to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (which I highly recommend as well!), as well as walking distance to shops and restaurants in Carytown, the Fan, etc.We stayed in the carriage house the first time and the house itself the second time. Both were very cozy, with lots of amenities, such as bathrobes, bottled water, and coffee pot/tea in the room.The breakfast in the morning is phenomenal. It is made to order, with eggs, bacon, various rolls, oatmeal, coffee, etc. and served in the house's dining room. The staff is absolutely lovely and so welcoming.Another added bonus is that they provide tickets for admission to the special exhibit at the VMFA, as well as passes to get a free drink in their cafeteria.Love, love, LOVE this place. Highly recommend!

Wonderful bed and breakfast. Beautiful room with steam shower. Highly recommend!! Melinda is a great host.

My husband and I stayed in the Judge's Suite for two nights after our wedding and it was magical! I'd never stayed in a B&B, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I definitely want to go back! There's an extensive book collection, private parking, and the VMFA right across the street. The room was spacious with historical Richmond charm. It had a private sitting room, small office (with mini fridge and coffee maker), bedroom with a view, and the greatest bathroom I've ever seen! As another reviewer has mentioned, the main door to the suite doesn't lock (which we thought was odd at first), but after we met Anna and the other guests (who were all extremely nice), we weren't concerned about it. The breakfast alone would be a reason to return! We received a three-course breakfast: yogurt with fresh berries and granola, followed by scrambled eggs cooked to order with delicious bacon from a local butcher, finished with BOTH a warm, flaky croissant (complete with French jam) and a warm cinnamon roll. There was never-ending coffee and OJ too! Wowza. Let me also just say: I could have lived in that bathroom. The two-person steam shower, two-person soaking tub, and double vanity provided the perfect spa-like escape my husband I were looking for on our minimoon. This was far better than staying in some chain hotel.

My husband and I recently stayed in the Judge's Suite, and we had such a nice time! The house is extremely convenient from I-95, has private parking, and so many great places are walkable from the house. The house is beautiful, and sits on an equally lovely street--across the way is the Museum of Fine Art. A very short walk will get you to a really cute area full of fun restaurants and shops. Breakfast was really good! We had fresh fruit and pastries, and a great cheesy egg scramble with bacon. Anna also has a happy hour with wine and cheese that we really enjoyed.However, the very best part of the stay was the unreal bathroom that's part of the suite. Double shower with heat steam, a huge bathtub, a bidet...WOW. Loved everything, but that bathroom is something else!

I cannot recommend Museum District B&B highly enough! Melinda made us feel like home from the second that we arrived. My partner had requested lillies and champagne for my birthday and they were waiting in the suite when we arrived! The Judge Rhea suite was beautiful, with gorgeous windows and a bathroom that was to die for. Everything was clean, comfortable and homey. The best part was the food - the breakfast was truly wonderful (I've never tasted granola that good, and the biscuits were fantastic) and we loved the wine and cheese happy hour. We sat on the front porch swing looking at the beautiful rose bushes and drank our wine and never wanted to leave. We were already talking about coming back! She also gave us a peek inside the Carriage House, which was also a charming suite. Thank you very much for your fantastic hospitality, Melinda! This B&B is a real gem.

Adorable, cozy, a total treat. I would stay here again in a hearbeat. It is located on a tree lined street in a historic area directly across the street from the Fine Arts Museum.I think we were in the John Lane Suite, which is more like a wing of the house than a 'suite' per say. An office with a twin bed, main bedroom with a half bath, separate bedroom with a full size bed and a full bathroom and large outdoor deck.The host was very hospitable, after showing us our rooms she offered us wine and cheese, and upon our return the wine was left out with wine glasses. She lent us an umbrella on a cloudy night and made sure we had everything we needed.Our bedroom didn't have a lock but there is only one other guest space so it didn't seem like this was the kind of place where you needed to worry about safety or privacy. The full bath with the shower was out in the hall, but they give you bathrobes.The office has a senseo coffee maker, but breakfast is served from 8am-11:30 and will leave you completely satisfied-fresh squeezed OJ, coffee, 2 types of fresh croissants, yogurt with fresh berries, local eggs and smoked bacon. That's what I call breakfast!Our room had very comfy bed with soft sheets with plenty of drawer space and a large full length mirror.All of the products were from body shop & whole foods and the bathroom came fully stocked with everything you could need, shaving cream, body wash, cu tips, feminine hygiene products, even Dixie Cups. I don't even buy those for my home anymore! You instantly get that pampered vacation feeling when you are here, incredibly relaxing and accommodating. There was nothing not to like!

Love love loved. Anna was so nice and inviting. Her wine and cheese selection was well paired. I would def. go back and stay in the B and B again the next we roll they RVA. Also, she packed up the left over croissants and cinnamon buns that we didn't eat at breakfast for us to have on the road, and boy were they delicious. Thank you!

My husband and I stayed at this bed and breakfast just last night and it was wonderful! We stayed in the lovely and cozy carriage house for one night. This place is so nice. Anna is wonderful. She was so sweet and she really put a lot of work into the small details. Our breakfast was superb! There was a lot of food! We ate at 8:30 this morning, and it's 4 in the afternoon right now (had no lunch) and I'm still full from breakfast! The location of this B&B is great too because it is super close to all the shops and restaurants on Cary St and right across from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. If you're thinking about staying here, you definitely should!

The Bed and Breakfast is very quaint and comfy. We stayed in the suite and it really felt like home. The sleeping porch in our bedroom was incredibly comfortable. This was a huge plus: sheets that smell like tide!! We haven't even finished our stay here and were blown away! We only wish we could stay longer.Helpful tip: there's private parking in the back! Yay!
