Recently, under my company Benson Park Photography, I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Cierra and Josh’s engagement session at The Blue Rock. This enchanting location, nestled amidst the breathtaking scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains, offered a picturesque and deeply personal setting for their photos, echoing the place where Josh proposed to Cierra.From the moment we arrived, The Blue Rock's charm was undeniable. The property boasts stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, providing a serene and majestic backdrop for our photo session. Every corner of the grounds offered a new and beautiful setting, from lush gardens to quaint pathways, all under the vast expanse of the Virginia sky. It was clear that Josh and Cierra’s wish to showcase the property in their engagement photos was not only fitting but inspired.The Blue Rock is not just remarkable for its views but also for its warm hospitality and exquisite culinary offerings. The food is exceptional; each meal prepared with a level of care and quality that added an extra layer of delight to your stay.I am immensely grateful to have been a part of this special moment in Cierra and Josh’s journey together. The Blue Rock is a gem in Rappahannock, perfect for anyone looking to capture or celebrate life’s most precious moments against the unparalleled beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Another incredible stay! Chef Lu’s menus are fun and delicious. John’s pairings and wine program are exceptional and surprising. Wyatt and the other folks from the Inn were all so kind and thoughtful. It’s an idyllic and comfortable place to getaway from the city with close proximity to great hiking in the Shenandoah National Park and some cool towns (Sperryville and Washington) to explore.Nearby activities: Great proximity to some of the best SNP trails and the interesting small towns of Sperryville and Washington.Food & drinks: Excellent tasting menu and wine pairing. The fried chicken in the bar is also delicious.

We have visited Inn at Little Washington multiple times and were excited to give this property a try.The website advertises a far different experience and level of product than the Blue Rock truly offers. We were disappointed with the booking (and confirmation) process and unwelcoming check-in, but could have overlooked those inconveniences.We had Suite 2, which is immediately above the kitchen and featured dorm room-esque bathrooms and hobbit height ceilings. The room absorbed all the heat of the kitchen, with no ability to regulate the temperature and we heard each conversation of the kitchen (including its guests and how much they may or may not spend on wine) until after 11pm.The one bright star was the fried chicken, it is truly delicious, but the service for our meal was lacking overall. We could not find one peaceful respite in this “inn” that wasn’t an overflow work room for the staff. This may have potential as a good restaurant where you can stay over if you must, but it certainly isn’t ready to bill itself as a destination.

While the presentation of the tasting menu was impeccable, the flavors were lacking. The room and bed were cozy, but the toiletries provided were basic, which was disappointing considering the high price per night. The limited breakfast options of oatmeal and yogurt were also underwhelming, especially considering the inn's attached tasting menu restaurant. However, the front staff was friendly and accommodating. Overall, the experience at the Blue Rock Inn had some positives, but there were also areas that fell short, particularly considering the high price. For this kind of price point a walk in shower, better toiletries, and more amenities are expected.
Not a good experience - The service was bad and my experience wasn't as advertised. The owner should really rethink about how he handles his affairs.

A fantastic evening with excellent service, ambience and culinary execution. The four course price fixe menu was a fantastic question with a particular emphasis on chanterelle mushrooms which I personally loved. The ability of the culinary team to use asymmetric ingredients to replicate an exact flavor and texture profile for their guests was a pleasure for the eyes as much as the stomach. If I had to highlight a specific course, the very first course was exceptional. It featured pink bream fish (raw) with watermelon radish on a bed of what I describe as Tom Yum Gai soup custard highlighted with Anaheim peppers. It was such a treat to enjoy and the service provided by Kaitlyn and the wine director was approachable, patient, attentive and never overbearing while perfectly timing the arrivals of the next courses. A terrific evening enjoyed with family - honestly can't ask for more!

I’m quite disappointed that this establishment chose to reschedule my dinner reservation, which I had made a month in advance to secure a special date. Their notification came at the very last moment. It would be greatly appreciated if they could address this issue “a glitch in the system” and inform patrons sooner, allowing them to make alternative arrangements.
