The Inn At Narrow Passage

On Route 11 (the Old Valley Turnpike), only two miles from Interstate 81 at Woodstock, the inn has a country atmosphere on five private acres along the Shenandoah River. The inn offers 12 guestrooms, a well-equipped meeting room for small executive retreats, many common areas, and lovely grounds to host your wedding.

After a busy day of hiking or sightseeing, return for a cool drink on the porch in summer or hot, spiced tea by the fire in winter. In the evening, walk down to the river to feed the ducks, or maybe spend a little time fishing.

The Inn's sturdy log walls made it a safe haven against Indian attacks at the "narrow passage"- where the roadbed was only one wagon wide and traveling was very dangerous. Later, it became important as Stonewall Jackson's headquarters during the Valley Campaign of 1862. Historians like to note that it was here General Jackson commanded Jedediah Hotchkiss to "Make me a map of the Valley."

From settlers seeking refuge from Indians to present day travelers looking for a haven against the stresses of modern life, the Inn at Narrow Passage has kept its promise of comfort and hospitality, continuing to be a welcome sight to travelers from all over the world.

The oldest guest rooms feature pine floors, stenciling, and the atmosphere of colonial times. Rooms in later additions are decorated in the same style, but open onto porches, with pretty views across the lawn toward the river and mountains to the east.
