Chester Bed & Breakfast

Escape for a scenic getaway in the heart of Virginia wine country… Chester is an elegant inn just 16 miles from Charlottesville, the only bed and breakfast in the charming river town of Scottsville. You can relax on southern porches overlooking the arboretum, or curl up with a good book in front of the living room fireplace. This tranquil retreat offers convenient proximity to all the amenities of Charlottesville and the University of Virginia, offering you a long and varied list of things to do. With Chester as your home base, you can:
Explore history, from Monticello to the Civil War Trail.
Tour and taste local wineries.
Visit beer and cider micro-breweries (including James River Brewers just two minutes from the inn).
Hike, bike or paddle on nearby trails, mountains, waterfalls, and the James River.
Enjoy world-class dining, shopping, antiquing, music, and entertainment in and around the Charlottesville area.
Coming to visit University of Virginia as an alum or parent? Chester is a wonderful place for reunions, gourmet family dinners and celebrations (with prior arrangements). We also offer romantic candlelit dinners for two and an intimate setting for small weddings.
Join us at our Charlottesville B&B for one night or several, and enjoy all of the things this area has to offer…
