The Inn at Warner Hall

 house, inn, bed and breakfast, NRHP - National Register of Historic Places, Colonial Revival (architecture)

The Inn at Warner Hall consists of a Colonial Revival manor house (circa 1900) which was rebuilt on the earlier 17th and 18th century foundation. Like the previous structures at Warner Hall, all of which indicated the prominence of their owners, the Colonial Revival core is a grand architectural gesture.

The original 17th century west wing dependency (the plantation schoolroom and tutor’s quarters) has been completely restored and offers a rare glimpse into the past. With the guidance of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and a team of architects, structural engineers and builders, Theresa and Troy Stavens undertook to restore Warner Hall and convert it to a country inn using the least invasive methods possible with emphasis on keeping the existing floor plan, walls and moldings intact.

Historic outbuildings include 18th century brick stables, a dairy barn and smokehouse. The Warner-Lewis family graveyard, maintained by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, offers a remarkable collection of 17th and 18th century tombstones. All is located on the waterfront plantation created in 1642 by George Washington's great-great grandfather.

The waterfront is the Northwest Branch of the Severn River, tributary to Mobjack Bay, tributary to the Chesapeake Bay.
