Your Guide to Weekend Getaways From Washington, D.C.
Head to Irvington, VA
The first question you should ask yourself is: What is the best destination for my weekend getaway? The answer, of course, is the Hope and Glory Inn that’s nestled in the beautiful town of Irvington, Virginia. Not only do we offer luxurious accommodations, but we also provide you with exceptional on-site activities you can’t enjoy anywhere else.
The Hope and Glory Experience
Your incredible experience begins as soon as you arrive at our property. You’ll immediately notice our pristine landscape that’s lush with English gardens and colorful flowers in the spring and summer as well as fall foliage in autumn. You can even admire the beauty of winter here when everything is coated in a light blanket of snow. It’s truly paradise!
You’re welcome to unwind in one of our cozy rooms or cottages, indulge in gourmet dinners prepared by expert Chef Meseret Crockett, grab a drink in Detention, and take advantage of our Dessert and Espresso Bar in the lobby. We also offer a variety of seasonal activities, like swimming in our salt-water pool and cruising Carter’s Creek aboard True Love. Don’t forget to sip our medal-winning wines at The Dog and Oyster Vineyard, which is just a short walk or bike-ride away from the inn!
Getting Here
Another fantastic reason to visit us is that we’re only a three-hour drive away! You can pack your bags, fuel up the car, and hit the road for one of the best weekend getaways of your life. If you leave at an off-peak time, then we recommend cruising along I-95 S and US-17 S. However, this route often has significant traffic during rush hour. A good alternative involves driving on VA-3 E. Whichever way you choose to get here, you’re in for a treat!
