Seven years at Dutchies View Bed and Breakfast

Dutchies View a Blue Ridge Mountains Bed and Breakfast has rounded another corner. Exactly 7 years ago to the day and date my lovely wife and I and a couple of good friends rolled up this very driveway here at the Inn in a moving van full to the top with everything we owned and some new things we had just purchased to start a new adventure in running a bed and breakfast. We have taken the Inn from something that we could work with to what we think is a little piece of heaven on earth. We have gone through many trials and tribulations and will probably go through many more, however we have not regretted what we have done for one second. It makes us humble when we have guests that thoroughly enjoy their stay and tell us just that, or leave reviews so others might experience what they have. We have met many people from all walks of life and over 15 countries (some who can and some who cannot speak English). We have been told many times we should write down some of our experiences for a future book. We have had a great time these past seven years and hope to have many more to come as we continue our adventure to see where it takes us. When we decided to purchase our B&B we were told by more than one person we were crazy and out of our minds and it would never work. Well we don't know what the future holds but seven years later we are still going strong.
Thank you all that have been a part of our many successful years and we hope to keep seeing you in the future as we grow and change.

Dutchies View B&B Mountain Bike Trails

Dutchies View Bed and Breakfast a Blue Ridge Mountains destination has great news. Over the past six months the local park right here in Woolwine I.C. DeHart has added 8 miles of multi-use trails for Mountain Biking, hiking, and trail running, sorry no equestrians or motorized vehicles. A few local Patrick County residents have come together to put into the park some wonderful trail to be enjoyed by many people including those looking for nature, exercise, or just a place to go and unwind. Over 75% of the trail is single lane trail with some trail being reclaimed from old logging roads from many years passed. The trail will soon be completely signed and maps produced and a kiosk installed that will complete the project for this year. People from all over are already enjoying this wonderful system. The trails are not flat and recommended for the intermediate mountain biker and above, hikers with some experience and condition will enjoy the workout, and trail runners will have quite a workout. The trail has been made to look as natural as possible to include bridges using local rough cut lumber and downed trees, trail that flows with the contour of the land, and as little disturbance to the land as possible.
Make a plan to come visit Dutchies View B&B and check out this new trail system.

Ground Hogs and Winter

Dutchies View Bed and Breakfast has really seen the cold this year not unlike most of the country, but Crystal and I had the inside scoop on the coming weather (if you believe a furry creature yanked from a stump at 7:30 in the morning). Yes Crystal and I had the special privilege to be at Gobblers Knob in Punxautawney PA this year and saw first hand the weather predictions of Phil. What a thrill to actually be there and see all the excitement. Well as you know there is to be an early Spring and hopefully warmer weather soon. If ever a chance arises that you can make this event it is totally worth it as well as the area is really beautiful and has many interesting sites to see.

End of year

Dutchies View a Blue Ridge Mountains Bed and Breakfast has seen winter weather come early this year with our first snowfall of the year already in the books. The high winds that followed the storm blew most of the snow away and a little sun has taken care of most of the rest but it was still very pretty.
For all those that are looking for a gift for that special person, Dutchies View is offering our gift certificates this year for just $90 per night plus taxes. That would make for a nice gift at a very nice price, but we will need a week lead time in order to get them to you by Christmas. Give us a call and we will fix you right up.
New years is filling up and we plan to have a catered meal and hopefully a few fireworks at midnight.
We have lots of plans for the new year like movie nights, and some fun outdoor activities, some wine pairing dinners, along with a few other things we have in the works. Believe it or not we will be starting our seventh year in business and we are looking forward to another year of great times.
If you would like to plan a great weekend with your friends, give us a call and we can help you plan a great weekend get together.

Everyone have a wonderful holiday season and we look forward to seeing everyone in the coming year.
