A Day in the Life of an Afton Mountain Guest

Have you ever spent a night or two in Afton, Virginia? If not, then you may not know what guests of Afton Mountain Bed & Breakfast get to experience during their time here. From hiking trails to eclectic downtown shops, Afton and her nearby cities are full of memory-making activities. Of course, if you’d rather sit back and enjoy some onsite relaxation at the inn, that’s perfectly fine too.

In case you need a place to start your itinerary planning, here is an idea of a day in the life of an Afton Mountain guest:

MORNING:

You wake in the luxury of your B&B bed, knowing that the day is yours and you can make it as active or laid-back as you’d like. The scent of fresh coffee wafts through the air as you make your way to an already-prepared breakfast. After indulging in a meal of fresh fruit and Walnut Oat Waffles, you decide to venture out for a hike while the day is still cool.

You choose Crabtree Falls as your hiking destination, eager to enjoy the “highest cascading waterfalls east of the Mississippi River,” and with your pack in hand, you’re off to the trail.

AFTERNOON:

After enjoying an invigorating hike, you head back to Afton Mountain B&B, first swinging by Paulie’s Pig-Out to grab your lunch. After eating your mouthwatering pulled pork and taking a quick nap in the coolness of your room, you decide to take a quick dip in our pool. Absolutely refreshing! Next on your to-do list is some downtown shopping in Charlottesville, where you enjoy browsing the array of used bookstores, jewelry shops, street vendors, and clothing stores.

EVENING:

As the downtown shops begin to close and afternoon progresses into evening, you decide to indulge in a meal at Commonwealth Restaurant & Skybar. After an amazing meal of Braised Beef Brisket, Horseradish Potatoes, and Carrot Frites, you’re ready to return to Afton Mountain and unwind from a fun day.
