Foster Harris House

a Gather Co property

Settle in. Five rooms, one big porch, the Blue Ridge out the window.

Foster Harris House sits on Main Street in Washington, Virginia — a town of about 130 people and the gateway to Shenandoah National Park. The house dates to 1905 and has been a bed and breakfast since 1984, with the original architecture and detailing kept largely intact through the years.

Five rooms in the main house, including The Washington Suite with its own private back entrance. A three-course breakfast included with every stay. The Inn at Little Washington is a ten-minute walk if dinner is the plan.

Breakfast Included

A three-course breakfast, every morning.

Breakfast is included with every stay — three courses, plated, served at the pace of the table rather than a fixed slot. The menu rotates through a small set of dishes the kitchen genuinely loves making, and adjusts based on dietary preferences shared at booking.

Most guests linger over it longer than they planned. Mornings are the quieter part of the historic district, and there's no reason to rush.

The Setting

Wine country, Shenandoah, and one of the country's great restaurants — all walking distance.

Washington, Virginia is a town of about 130 people in Rappahannock County. The Inn at Little Washington — Patrick O’Connell’s three-Michelin-star restaurant — is on the next block. Skyline Drive’s Thornton Gap entrance is twenty minutes away.

A dozen wineries and several breweries are within a half-hour drive. Old Rag, Whiteoak Canyon, and the rest of Shenandoah’s northern district are all accessible from the inn before breakfast.
