We are so glad she gave us this gift and had the chance to use it in May, 2011.
It is a quick road trip from DC, Baltimore and parts of Virginia. I think we made it there in less than 2 hours, of course NOT during DC rush hour....We went on a Monday and left on a Wednesday.
Since it was midweek, we practically had the place to ourselves.
There is a pool and hot tub for all to enjoy. We also had strawberries and champagne sent to our room which was a nice touch. While there, we utilized the spa at Poplar Springs, and had one of the best massages of my lifetime! I'd highly recommend this spa.
They had little nice touches, like bikes you could use, tennis court and rackets/balls, and the best part of all, a bottomless cookie jar!
While there, we decided to go into the little town of Warrenton, Virginia. The main street was very quaint and takes you back a few decades. We chose to eat at the Iron Bridge Wine Company where we enjoyed an amazing meal, and even more amazing wine. We even picked up a few bottles of the mystery wine of the day that we sampled, an italian table red wine.
This place was just very peaceful and tranquil. We loved having the host knock on our door and bring breakfast literally to our bed each day, with fresh fruit, muffins, oatmeal, a bagel, and hot tea.
It truly is a respite from downtown DC or Baltimore, and I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a little de-stressing and break from a busy life!
