With gas prices being so high, my wife and I were looking for something that would be fun, romantic and outdoorsy without being very far from DC. We have gone to B&B destinations in Virgina, West Virgina and North Carolina, but wanted to stay within an hour or so of home. We found Smithfield Farm on the Internet and decided... more

What a gorgeous setting and a beautifully restored home! Our room had soaring ceilings, a view over the fields, perfect antique furnishings, and a gas fireplace. Bath was modern and well appointed with quality amenities (even lip balm!). Ruth couldn't have been more gracious and breakfast was heavenly.

This was one of the best B+B experiences I have ever had. I recommend looking at their website (it's the first two words in the name of the place, dot com) because it shows how beautiful everything is. The property: It's a working farm that the owners' family has run for generations. The farm itself is beautiful - rolling hills,... more

About an hour from metropolitan D.C. -- yet a world away! Admittedly, it is not easy to find this B&B, off a series of winding, one-lane country roads. But it is worth any effort, especially for the city-weary. Located on a 400-acre working farm, innkeeper Ruth Pritchard and her daughter spent the better part of a decade painstakingly restoring the... more
