Make 2011 a special Valentines Day to getaway from everyday cares, to reconnect with  your loved one, to celebrate a special occasion, or – perhaps – to propose in a very romantic way!

Capture a special weekend at the William Miller House Bed and Breakfast

Book one of our rooms for the Friday and Saturday before Valentines Day (Feb 11 and 12) and we’ll supply a bottle of Barboursville Vineyards Sparkling Brut, two flutes to take home with you, and a box of Gearhart’s Fine Chocolates! Just mention “Lover’s Deal” when you make your reservation on line or by phone at (804) 254-2928.

Changes in our plans yield an exceptional opportunity for Valentine’s Day weekend for you!  We had hoped to spend our tenth wedding anniversary in Paris this Valentine’s Day – but our plans have changed – which opens the door for you to spend this most special weekend at our romantic bed and breakfast inn.

Our urban bed and breakfast in Richmond Virginia’s historic Fan District presents the perfect surroundings for a premier stay: high end pillowtop mattresses and high quality linens, private en-suite bathrooms with both tub (one even has a whirlpool tub) and separate tiled showers, wi-fi (just in case you are forced to check e-mail), a lovely parlor with gas coal fireplace, a hearty gourmet breakfast for two served on individual platters, off street parking, a garden/library room with complimentary evening beverage service and snacks from 5 PM to 7 PM, off street parking for your vehicle, and within walking distance of fine neighborhood dining.

Looking for nightlife? The To The Bottom and Back “free” bus runs to Shockoe Bottom’s night spots for music and dancing on the Cary/main loop just one block away. Or, if you’d rather a more intimate mode of transportation – BioTaxi, in their Mercedes sedan running on biodiesel, will be happy to drive you to and from your destination – in as “green” a way as possible.

This winter has been hard with intense cold and lots of snow – treat yourself and your someone special to a weekend to remember!  Make your arrangements at Richmond’s premier bed and breakfast inn now!

Our Richmond Virginia inn has switched chocolatiers!  Our welcome tray will now include  a two-piece box of Gearhart’s Fine Chocolates to further our commitment to locally-owned purveyors.  The mouth-watering chocolates we selected for our two-piece box are Criolla, an extra bittersweet Chocolate ganache with natural cacao nibs, dipped in dark chocolate, and Mint Julep, a creamy milk chocolate ganache infused with fresh mint, spiked with aged Kentucky bourbon, and dipped in milk chocolate.  Chocolate connoisseurs will delight in their richness and flavor!

Chocolatier Tim Gearhart puts the finishing touches on a tray of his superb confections

These chocolates come from their boutique at Libbie and Grove, here in Richmond, but are crafted by Tim Gearhart in his kitchen in Charlottesville.  Tim’s uncompromising focus on quality has secured him a spot as one of Chocolatier Magazine’s “Top 20 Artisan Chocolatiers!”  Best of all, Gearhart’s Fine Chocolates, here in Richmond, is open Tuesday through Saturday so you can take some home for friends and family.

We’ll also be changing our bed and breakfast‘s Bubbles and Berries “little something extra” to a Bubbles and Chocolates special to add to your reservation so you can indulge in some of Virginia’s finest.  The Bubbles is Barboursville Winery’s Barboursville Brut (remember Champagne only comes from Champagne, France) – Virginia’s own classic blend of bubbly.  And, you’ll get to take the William Miller House champagne flutes home as a memento. For the chocolate dipped berries, we will be substituting a 8-piece box of assorted Gearhart’s Fine Chocolates – all for $39.  And, for the chocolate lovers out there, we’ll upgrade the 8-piece assortment to a 16-piece assortment  for only $10 more!

Our Historic Fan District inn is minutes away from all there is to do and see!  And, we’ll share our “innsider’s” scoop and local knowledge of best-kept secrets with you – the best dining options, the best shopping, the best antiquing, the best galleries, the best museums, the best of everything to make your next getaway the best ever!
