Winter in the Blue Ridge Mountains is a season of quiet beauty, cozy comforts, and simple pleasures — and there’s no better place to experience it than at Moonlight Manor Bed & Breakfast, nestled just off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Floyd, Virginia.
As the mountains slip into their winter calm, the pace slows, the air turns crisp, and the views become even more breathtaking. Soft frost glistens across the hills at sunrise, and evenings settle in with star-filled skies and peaceful silence. It’s the perfect time to unplug, unwind, and reconnect — with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.
Cozy Comforts That Feel Like Home
At Moonlight Manor, winter is all about warmth and comfort. Curl up by the fireplace with a good book, challenge friends or family to board games and puzzles, or simply relax with a cup of coffee while watching the winter mist roll across the mountains. Our inviting common spaces and cozy guest rooms make it easy to settle in and stay awhile.
There’s something magical about gathering indoors while the mountains rest outside — sharing stories, sipping hot cocoa, playing cards, or listening to soft music as the fire flickers nearby. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a peaceful solo retreat, or a relaxing getaway with friends, winter creates the perfect setting.
Winter Adventures Await
While winter brings quiet moments, adventure still calls. Explore scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway (make sure to stop at Mabry Mill), enjoy peaceful winter hikes, and take in stunning mountain vistas without the crowds. Nearby Chateau Morrisette Winery remains open throughout the season, offering cozy tastings, delicious meals, and beautiful views — a perfect winter day trip just minutes away.
Stroll through the charming town of Floyd, browse unique local shops, and enjoy live music at the famous Floyd Country Store. Winter brings a slower pace, allowing you to truly savor the local culture and mountain charm.
A Season Made for Relaxation
There’s no rush in winter — only time to breathe, reflect, and rest. Wake up to a delicious homemade breakfast, linger over coffee, watch the clouds drift across the ridges, and let the day unfold naturally. Evenings invite peaceful conversations, glowing sunsets, and starry skies that feel especially magical in the crisp mountain air.
