Great option for staying in Washington VA. Amanda was very welcoming, informative about things to do, and she is a terrific chef as evidenced by her excellent breakfast offerings. Think a tasting menu for breakfast.

This is a lovely B&B, but what sets it apart is the fantastic staff and meals. Absolutely top notch. Amanda in particular is an amazing chef.

We, had a wonderful time staying at Foster Harris house. Amanda, our host was fabulous, very kind, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. The house was spotlessly clean, kitchen was very impressive, breakfast was excellent. I loved the French pressed coffee and tea, that was left prepared for us outside of our room. The house was the perfect location, we were able to easily walk 3 minutes to The Inn at Little Washington. The bed linen was so comfortable, so much so that I ordered the same one for my own home. Once again, Thank you Amanda, for being such a fantastic host!

My husband and I came to stay for our first anniversary and couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. The service was top notch, the room was pristine and beautifully furnished, and the breakfast was out of this world. We’ll certainly be back!

My wife and I loved our stay. The service is incredibly warm and friendly, our room was comfortable and relaxing, and the general accommodations at the house were fantastic. We looked forward to starting our day with their delicious breakfast (ask for the house specialty ginger scone). We can’t say enough positive things and can’t wait to come back! Thank you for making our 5 year wedding anniversary so special!

Foster Harris House was a charming getaway.
The building is meticulously furnished with a ton of personal touches that make you feel like you're staying with family. The host (Amanda if I recall correctly) was also extremely gracious and thoughtful, taking into account our wake-up time to set up a French press with fresh coffee in the common area outside our room.
The cookies in the room were to die for. The breakfast was equally delightful, offering a ton of flavour without causing us to be unpleasantly stuffed. Their flagship scone was tasty as well.
Foster Harris House was an easy walk to the Inn at Little Washington, so the location is great for those with dinner reservations. The house is old, so you can hear noises from the hallway or adjacent rooms, but nothing too bad. If you're very sensitive, you might want to bring earplugs just in case. The bed was cozy and the shower was very spacious.
I'd definitely recommend FHH to anyone looking to visit the area.

We decided to stay here recently for a quick getaway, our first time in Washington, VA. From the time we arrived until we departed - following a delicious and aesthetically-pleasing 4-course breakfast - we enjoyed our time. The welcoming staff, great service, beautiful location, and rooms complete with historic touches all made Foster Harris a perfect choice for a relaxing weekend.

Klaus was a fantastic host. He's a great conversationalist who's led an interesting life, and the breakfast lived up to the hype!

We had a wonderful stay. Klaus provided good, detailed instructions from how to enter as well as the WiFi code. The breakfast was spectacular with excellent coffee, ginger scones, the ginger fruit salad, homemade sausage and quiche finished with a mini-cheesecake. Klaus made us feel right at home. It’s also walking distance from the Inn at Little Washington.

The rooms and grounds are very nice, and Klaus was a welcoming and accommodating host. If you're coming to town for a dinner at the Inn at Little Washington, this makes a good landing spot (an easy walk away); if proximity to the Inn doesn't matter, then you can probably find an equally nice BnB for less. My one complaint is that eating the very large course breakfast the morning after our dinner at the Inn was a struggle; I wish breakfast could be a simpler serve-yourself spread with lighter options, for those who are still full or want to save room.Rooms: small but very nicely decorated
Enjoyed our stay in well appointed comfortable rooms. Looked forward to a most delicious and different 4 course breakfast each morning! His "soon to be famous" Ginger Scones are scrumptious to say the least!! Klaus is a very gracious and accommodating host!

We stayed at the Foster Harris House for our 50th Anniversary. It was the best B&B we’ve ever stayed at - bar none! Why? Well - the accommodations were superior, but it was the “little things” that hooked us on this B& B forever. Let me explain. Klaus is a “guy’s guy! That is, he is the type of guy you immediately like. OK - I’m a guy who doesn’t normally “gush” over other guys - but Klaus is just so damned friendly that you have to like him within 5 minutes of meeting him. He “connects” with people. Initially, I thought that going to “The Inn at Little Washington” would be the highlight of this weekend experience… and do t get me wrong - “The Inn” was awesome - BUT - Klaus & Gisele and the Foster Harris House are just so likable that it will be nearly impossible to top - F O R E V E R ! It’s hard to put in words, but they draw you in to the point where we felt like family within minutes of being there. We had the Mountain View suite and I had asked Klaus ahead of time to have some flowers in our room when we arrived. (Diane loves Roses). Klaus did not disappoint - there was a gorgeous spray of Roses in a small sitting room off the Master Bedroom along with some scrumptious chocolate chip cookies. (See pics ). Had time permitted- we would have loved to sit and chat with Klaus and Gisele for hours before our dinner at “The Inn”… but alas - there was not enough time. The following morning, we woke up and Klaus had delicious pressed coffee waiting outside our suite so we could partake and go sit on the front porch until he came (with a little “dinner” bell) for our home-prepared multi-course breakfast. The breakfast was AMAZINGLY delicious! BUT - More than that - we met and got to know Klaus’ lovely wife, Gisele. I have to tell you - her smile and laugh is infectious. At the risk of inappropriateness, I wanted to hug her immediately- but I didn’t. (Missed opportunity). She & Klaus appeared to be having breakfast with with close friends at the only other occupied table and it was SO immediately obvious that this cute couple are so in love with each other and what they are doing for a living. I have always felt that you can’t put a price on cherished memories- and these, my friends, will rank up there with the most cherished! Klaus & Gisele - thank you and we love you ♥️ for maki g our special occasion unique.

The whole experience was amazing!!! My travel partner has a gluten allergy and they accommodated this with our breakfasts. The cellular service in the area did not support our phones and they gave us a phone to use during our stay. The house is very warm and cozy. A treat was the coffee/tea bar outside of our room with fresh coffee each morning before breakfast. This B&B was the only one that could accommodate 2 unmarried persons. Everything was just amazing...accommodations, food and the owners. We will definitely stay there again!!!!

Gracious hosts, warm and welcoming, well-appointed rooms, nice inn atmosphere, in close proximity to the town's shops and restaurants, in short all the hallmarks for a pleasant stay -- oh, and the scrumptious breakfast.
