History

The Virginia Cliffe Inn was built from the reclaimed materials of a landmark farmhouse that was built in 1896.

In 1950, James and Margaret Clifton purchased the property where The Virginia Cliffe Inn is now located to raise their four children. After many years the foundation began to deteriorate, and it became necessary to make changes to the home.The Virginia Cliffe Inn is constructed from wood, bricks, the staircase and many other original materials reclaimed from the old farmhouse built on the property in the 1800’s.After raising their four children, Margaret and James Clifton opened their home as a Bed and Breakfast on January 1, 1998.

The Virginia Cliffe Inn was the first, and remains the only, bed and breakfast in Henrico County. Weddings have been hosted at this beautiful venue for over 20 years, all while continually growing and making improvements to the venue and experience it offers its guests.
