Overview

The bed and breakfast is of Georgian architecture built 1878-85 by Mr. B. M. Rice. Rice served in the 12 Virginia Calvary Company H. He is buried in Greenwood Cemetery (in back of current Methodist Church, two blocks from the bed and breakfast). Your hostess, Mary Stevens Ayers, was born and raised in Southern California and lived and had children in the Orient, Europe, West Coast, and East Coast. Her resume includes twenty or so years in Girl Scouts and tofs, twenty-three years a u.s. Naval Officers spouse, and a mother of four fabulous daughters. Bridgewater Inn and Cottage does not have rooms. It has two suites that offer ultimate comfort and each detail has been carefully considered for our guests. Romance, elegance, tranquility, and privacy describe the ambiance of Bridgewater Inn and Cottage. Enjoy a special place for your special moments. Each suite has a private entrance. Having individual suites separated from one another, solves noise transfer from room to room, a major concern in historic inns.
