Rockwood Manor — Historic Luxury Stay on 66 Acres of Virginia Beauty



Rockwood Manor is a breathtaking 1876 estate where history, romance, and quiet luxury come together. Set on 66 private acres in Virginia’s New River Valley, this one‑of‑a‑kind property is perfect for couples, families, group getaways, or guests that are simply passing through the area to experience unforgettable weekends surrounded by nature. Rockwood was previously a family home that was converted into a lovely Bed and Breakfast in the early 2000's. Wake up to birdsong, sip coffee on the wide Southern porches, wander the gardens at sunset, and end your evenings by one of the home’s 17 fireplaces. Every moment here feels like stepping into a story.



Rockwood - The Manor in Detail



Alongside its ten thoughtfully appointed guest rooms and eight‑and‑a‑half baths, Rockwood Manor is enriched by a collection of inviting common spaces, each designed to elevate and diversify the guest experience:



The Thomas Central Hall invites guests into Rockwood manor with a hardwood flooring that is laid in alternating boards of walnut and ash, a pattern that creates a subtle rhythm of dark and light. Walnut’s deep brown grain anchors the space, while ash introduces a pale, silky counterpoint. The alternating boards naturally draw the eye inward, guiding visitors toward a central staircase like a visual runway. The foyer of Rockwood Manor feels like a formal introduction to the home’s character — a space where Victorian craftsmanship is on full display and the architecture immediately sets a tone of elegance, symbolism, and quiet grandeur.



The Cloyd Parlor is a gentle, sunlit corner room on the main level of Rockwood Manor, shaped for quiet moments rather than grand gatherings. Natural light pours in through tall windows, softening every surface and giving the space a calm, unhurried presence. This is the kind of room where you’d settle in with a pot of tea, listening to the quiet of the house. The design femininity is subtle — not frilly, not overly decorated. Just gentle, soft colors, light fabrics, and a sense of ease and refinement.



The Kent Dining room at Rockwood Manor blends Victorian crown molding, polished woodwork, and period furnishings into a warm historic setting where morning light spills across the long table, reflecting off silver pieces and soft‑toned walls as guests gather for a leisurely Southern breakfast of fresh coffee, warm biscuits, fruit, and eggs, all served in a room that feels both elegant and lived‑in, its timeless character shaping the quiet, communal start to the day.



The Otey Game Room is Virginia Tech themed and feels like a blend of campus pride and laid‑back hangout space. Maroon walls, orange trim, and VT logos highlight the room, while warm lighting keeps it inviting rather than overwhelming. You hear the soft clack of pool balls, the hum of arcade cabinets, and the occasional cheer from guests enjoying the gameday environment from leather couches in front of the new HDTV Big Screen.



The Buchanan Tavern at Rockwood Manor is an intimate, antique‑rich retreat, wrapped in the warm glow of soft, amber lighting. An old hearth anchors the room, its presence giving the space a sense of history and quiet permanence. Nearby, a classic card table invites slow games and long conversations, its polished wood worn just enough to feel storied.

Deep leather sofas frame the room, offering a plush place to sink in and unwind. Every detail—from the aged textures to the gentle lighting—creates a space that feels both timeless and comfortably lived‑in, like a tavern preserved from another era yet perfectly suited for lingering today.



Stepping outside Rockwood Manor, you move from refined landscaping and a tranquil koi pond into the property’s deeper history, where the grounds open onto the remnants of its old dairy farm and the striking presence of an original 1800s hay barn whose weathered timbers and hand‑hewn beams stand as a quiet monument to the land’s past, creating a seamless blend of pastoral authenticity and the manor’s cultivated charm.
