“The Joshua Wilton House strikes me as a particularly gracious choice in Harrisonburg, with thoughtful touches like fresh-squeezed orange juice at breakfast and individually appointed rooms. Its garden setting offers a peaceful counterpoint to the nearby bustle of James Madison University. What stands out is the consistent attention to detail and professional management-this inn seems dedicated to crafting a genuinely comfortable experience.”
