Adventure Awaits at this Staycation-Worthy Bed & Breakfast in Nelson County, Virginia

Kyle and Stephanie Thomas are excited to share that The Indigo House was recently featured on the acclaimed travel show Staycation. The episode captures the beauty of the Shenandoah and Rockfish Valleys and what makes an Indigo getaway so memorable. Millennial innkeepers, Stephanie and Kyle, offer a fresh take on the traditional B&B experience with modern luxuries, farm-to-fork meals, and, of course, dogs always stay for free!

Welcome to The Indigo House!

The Indigo House
Staycation, an Emmy Award-winning show, visits some of the most popular travel destinations on the planet and showcases the very best vacation rentals and the people who own and run them. We are so honored that Staycation picked The Indigo House to be featured in an episode. 
 
The crew braved a heat wave in May to come and film the Indigo. We showed them around the property and shared how Nelson County, Virginia, is the most dog-friendly vacation getaway.

As shown in the episode, the dog-friendly B&B includes:

 

    • Four national park-inspired guestrooms, each sleeping two adults
    • Three indoor living rooms and plenty of outdoor hangout spaces
    • Breakfast served daily with locally roasted coffee and afternoon desserts
    • Sweeping mountain views and low-key vibes
    • Eco-friendly toiletries, linens, and operations to reduce our impact on the land and community
    • The perfect space for the backyard wedding of your dreams

Unlike a large hotel or even a vacation rental, the B&B experience really gives you a chance to connect.

In such a digital and disconnected world, you’re able to come here and feel grounded.

Overnight Dog-Friendly Stays

Our sweet, national park-inspired rooms accommodate two adults and come stocked with the essential items for a luxurious stay, including some beloved, fresh mountain air.

In addition to overnight stays, The Indigo House hosts a limited number of micro wedding weekends each year. Adventure Elopements and family stays are also available. We invite you to start your next great adventure nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, proving that good things really do come in small packages.

Our favorite trails

And the best time of year to hike them! Of course, you can explore them anytime you visit, but we find this helps you see waterfalls at the peak or avoid the buggiest trails in July.
