I loves having the kitchen with full refrigerators for my cooler food. Hotel fridges often don’t have freezers these days. Our room was spacious and clean. We missed having an elevator, though.

This is a gem of an inn. The sound of the water pouring over the dam and the birds chirping will lull you to sleep each night. The room as basic and comfortable, there’s onsite laundry and a great kitchen. I highly recommend the Washington Inn as a great starting point for exploring the natural beauty of Grayson County!

Beautiful little spot right on the New River! The beds were very comfortable and the deck on the back was great to enjoy the river! It's pretty basic as far as amenities go - it was nice to have a full kitchen available. I would suggest putting in night lights in the rooms or maybe a lamp or two by the beds. We will definitely stay here again!

Amazing views!

Fantastic checkin! Our host Cassidy was amazing with communication and showing us around! It’s a beautiful area with the river and sunrise! We had to leave early and I texted Cassidy but didn’t get any response so….I’d recommend a follow up with guests in the future. Would recommend this Inn.

Good stay

The view from our room was undersold! Great view of the river. That said, there were sizable gaps around the doors, so it was a very good thing the group there was not noisy, or I could have had a grumpy tired hubby. There also seemed to be some kind of family reunion taking place in the common areas, so we felt a little awkward about being there for a lot of our stay.

A small town’s best feature for visitors

We were greeted by the owner…she very graciously showed us around the hotel and gave us a room with a view of the New River. She was very welcoming. The 1902 building has been beautifully restored. The room was great…as a side note, she told us that they would be opening a steakhouse in town in a couple of weeks. The space worked very well for us as a couple. Note that they have rooms and dining options available for scheduling an event for friends and family.

A lonely overnight stay

We arrived at check in time with no innkeeper to greet us, just a couple of very polite cleaning ladies were there doing an excellent job of cleaning the property, who we could barely communicate with, as their English was minimal. We received a text giving us codes for the front door and our reserved "Rivers Muse" room. Our room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was very clean, but very small. When sitting on the toilet, our knees were hitting the tub. There were plenty of bathroom supplies for our comfort. We were the only ones in the Inn that night, which made us feel unsafe because there was no Innkeeper there for an emergency. It was certainly located on a lovely picturesque riverside in a quaint small town. We will most likely not return.

6/10 Okay

Room was freezing and in need of a simple chair. There were pleny downstairs but not in the room. You need a chair to dress and put shoes on. Also when you finish riding you don’t want to sit on the bed. Also kitchen needed a drying rack paper towels or dish cloths. Beds were comfortable and location great. View of falls wonderful. Does the tv work downstairs?
