We have some very exciting news to share from Moonlight Manor Bed & Breakfast!
Moonlight Manor has been named the 2026 Best Place to Relax & Recharge in the Blue Ridge by Blue Ridge Country Magazine! This is our first major award, and we honestly couldn't be more excited, humbled, and grateful.
From a Dream to an Award-Winning Blue Ridge Getaway
When we opened the doors of Moonlight Manor, our dream was to create more than just a place to spend the night. We wanted to create a place where people could slow down, breathe a little deeper, reconnect, and simply enjoy being in the mountains.
We wanted our guests to wake up to beautiful Blue Ridge views, linger over a homemade breakfast, spend an afternoon exploring Floyd and the Blue Ridge Parkway, sip wine at a nearby winery, hike a mountain trail, or simply find a comfortable spot on the porch and do absolutely nothing.
And when evening arrives, we wanted them to experience one of our favorite things about living here—the incredible night skies.
There is something special about sitting outside at Moonlight Manor as the mountains grow quiet and the stars begin to appear. Away from the bright lights of the city, the night sky becomes part of the experience. It's peaceful, beautiful, and a wonderful reminder that sometimes the best part of a getaway is simply slowing down long enough to notice what's around you.
This Award Belongs to Our Guests, Too
What makes this recognition especially meaningful is knowing that our guests helped make it happen.
To everyone who voted for Moonlight Manor, stayed with us, returned for another visit, recommended us to friends and family, shared our social media posts, left us a wonderful review, or simply told someone about your stay—thank you.
Every guest who walks through our doors becomes a small part of the Moonlight Manor story. We've loved hearing your stories over breakfast, celebrating birthdays and anniversaries with you, helping you discover a new favorite winery or hiking trail, and watching you relax on the porch after a day of exploring. Some of you arrived as strangers and left feeling more like friends. Those moments are what make being innkeepers so special.
Come Relax & Recharge With Us
If you've stayed with us before, we hope you'll come back and make some more Moonlight memories. And if you haven't visited Moonlight Manor yet, we'd love to welcome you.
Come hike the trails, explore the Blue Ridge Parkway, visit our nearby wineries, experience the music and charm of Floyd, enjoy a homemade breakfast, watch the sunset from the porch, and stay outside just a little longer to see the stars.
Most importantly, come give yourself permission to slow down, relax, and recharge.
From both of us, thank you for believing in Moonlight Manor, supporting our dream, and helping us earn our very first major award.
We couldn't have done it without you—and we can't wait to see what comes next.
With grateful hearts,Jenny & JohnMoonlight Manor Bed & Breakfast 🌙
