The Goodstone Inn & Estate {Middleburg, Virginia}

Hey all!  
Brian and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on Friday by taking a quick overnight trip to The Goodstone Inn & Estate in gorgeous Middleburg, Virginia 
{about 45 minutes from our house in Reston}.  
We first visited this spot when we were looking at wedding reception locations, 
and I've been dying to go back ever since.  

After driving up a steep, windy road, we arrived at the inn.  The Carriage House is to the left and right, where horse stables were converted into cozy guest rooms. Straight ahead is the inn, with a living room, dining room, and bar:

Next to the main inn is the pool...and it is STUNNING.   
The facade is actually from the original manor house, which burned down:

Our suite was located in a building about a mile away from the inn, so after we checked in {at sunset} we followed a driver in a Suburban who led us to our destination:

There are about six guest houses/cottages on the estate.  We stayed in the Manor House:

As you walk through the front door, you're greeted by this:

There's a full kitchen, with a pantry...I didn't get a good photo of the kitchen, 
but look at those floors!!!

Absolutely LOVED the sunroom, especially all the windows and the blue painted ceiling!

Below is the Stuart Suite, where we stayed.  This is a photo from Goodstone's website, because I forgot to take a picture before we scattered our stuff everywhere. Did I mention that we ended up with the house to ourselves? I really wish we would have had more time to light a fire, read, and just hang out.  Maybe when the kids are in college in 13 years. ;-)

The bathroom gave us ideas for our own master bath renovation, especially the steam shower {although we couldn't get it to work, waaah}! 
Seriously, I was so bummed about that.  "First world problems," right? ;-)

Here's the sitting room in the suite.  I wonder if I was the only guest who has gone through the house pulling up the corners of rugs to try to see where they got them?  Ha!

Below is the barn that houses the spa...but as far as I could tell, it was only two rooms for massages and facials without any other amenities. 
So pretty though {and we loved our massages}:

This is the spa waiting area...loving those tropical plants!

Below are some of the beautiful rooms from around the estate. The exposed wood, natural floor mats, and stunning fabrics are my favorite parts {all photos from the website}:

So that's it!  We loved every minute and can't wait to go back!
Have a happy Thursday... :-)
