The Richard Johnston Inn & 1890 Caroline House

We really enjoyed our stay in downtown Fredericksburg at this inn from 1770!

From the moment we arrived, it was a welcoming, friendly environment! We toured the Inn, which is beautiful and clean. There were delicious cookies in the dining room. The room was clean. The historic vibes were amazing. The bathroom was clean. It is in the perfect location. You just walk outside, and you are on the main street, yet it's still very quiet at night. Parking was easy. The courtyard out back is well-maintained and a nice place to relax at the end of the day. Breakfast was delicious. Everyone was extremely friendly! I cannot recommend this place anymore!

Wonderful Stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had a lovely room, the staff was friendly and very helpful and breakfast was homemade and delicious!

Downtown Fredericksburg is pretty loud, but that’s not the hotel’s fault. Parking is tough down there but the hotel has its own parking lot off of Sophia St, and it’s really easy. We had to leave early so we didn’t get to experience the breakfast, but we’d definitely come back. Everything was first rate. If you can’t do stairs you might have trouble, but that didn’t bother us.

Loved the late nineteenth century decor. We took full advantage of the sitting room to entertain guests. Great to walk around Fredericksburg and enjoy the unique shops, restaurants, and history. Overall a luxurious and interesting place to stay.

The Inn has been there since the mid to late 1700s, and served a decisive purpose during the Battle of Fredericksburg during the Civil War. The facility is very nicely decorated with mostly period-style furnishings, with very comfortable beds. The other accouterments, such as the wine and cheese charcouterie board and the early departure breakfast, made our very short stay a pleasant experience.

Beautiful B&B in downtown Fredericksburg. Lovely decor & friendly staff. Comfortable accommodations. Was a bit noisy from the street but they did mention before hand. Still worth the experience. Yummy breakfast & great coffee. Even provided us with a little sparkling wine to toast our anniversary.

I loved the room, the decorations, the comfort, the coziness. Love how close it is to town the walking around town. I certainly would come again when I come to the area.

The food at breakfast could have been better but did not change our overall opinion of the experience, which was excellent.

the location is ideal - step outside and your in the middle of Old Fredericksburg.

The place was actually pretty great, but read more carefully than we did as our private bath was across the hall from our room.

Wasn’t happy with the bathroom being across the hall instead of connected to the room

The Richard Johnston Inn is a historic inn with loads of charm. We stayed in the Virginian room, furnished with antiques and modern amenities, alike. The Inn is supposed to be haunted but we felt no ghostly presence! Rather, the warm welcome from the super friendly and efficient staff, plus the delicious, freshly cooked breakfast, made us feel completely at home. Highly recommended for a short getaway or as a base for exploring the surrounding area.

Liz provided wonderful host services and we felt very taken care of. Check in was a breeze and parking was convenient. This is an excellent location in downtown Fredericksburg and you can walk to everything. We will definitely stay again!

Middle of the best part of Fredericksburg. The staff were oh so welcoming, a very nice compliment to The charming facility. We are like stay here again hands down over a more ‘contemporary’ stay in a chain elsewhere.

Quaint historic house only problem was the air conditioning was too loud, but it was over 95 degrees. So better loud and cool than sweaty and hot. Pillows uncomfortable. Nice place.

We stayed here because of a family wedding....and we LOVED it! Such a wonderful to stay in downtown Fredericksburg. The hospitality, the room, the decor, the snacks and food...all.of it.

The inn keeper and all other staff with whom we interacted were friendly, helpful, and efficient. They accommodated our slightly early arrival and late departure, which made our trip extra relaxing. The bed was super comfortable and all areas of the inn were clean, tidy, and welcoming. We enjoyed relaxing indoors, both in our room and in the public areas inside the inn, and out on the patio. The breakfasts and snacks were good. The location of the inn is excellent and easy walking distance to multiple shops and restaurants.

Beautiful surroundings, total eye candy. Beautiful interiors with ultramodern kitchens. Chandeliers in the bathrooms. Gorgeous reading nooks.

They decided not to have anyone at the facility because of the Corona virus. For half the price the Courtyard a couple of blocks away maintains people on staff. The room was a bit cluttered and the arrangement of the furniture impractical. It also smelled. Showtime 2 was the only premium channel offered and there was no refrigerator in the room. Best features were the breakfast offerings and the comfortable ambiance of the lobby areas.

We had an amazing stay at the Richard Johnston Inn. The building is beautiful and is furnished exquisitely! The staff are so friendly and helpful. Betsy made the most delicious cookies and recommended an excellent Italian restaurant Orofino's. Beth made a delicious breakfast. The location is excellent. You can easily walk to many historical places, shops and restaurants.

History of the property was amazing. Gorgeous renovation with beautiful antiques. Breakfast was top notch!

We had unknowingly booked a room without an ensuite bath and were offered an upgrade to a king bed with bath on the top floor at no additional charge. Very nice of them. Breakfast was great and everyone was extremely pleasant and helpful. They say that even the ghosts who reside there are friendly and although we didn't encounter any I can believe it.

I enjoyed the stay and the feeling of being apart of America’s history.

Superb quality of furnishings, warm hospitality, sparkling clean, bed sheets from heaven, well-trained staff who do everything they can to make your stay one you will never forget. Terrific location. The breakfast is SO delicious, Driving from CA to Maine in six nights with husband and little white bulldog Emma: we left this inn refreshed, relaxed, and loving life: all three of us!

1890 Caroline house was the most beautiful bed-and-breakfast we have ever stayed in! Our room was beautifully decorated and the breakfasts were wonderful! Would highly recommend!

Great location, great food, charming, friendly people.

Great location and great host. we all be back!

Liz and her people went out of their way to accommodate us. They were friendly, helpful, and made our stay delightful.

The proximity to the business district-the friendliness of the staff-the comfort.and beauty of the bed and breakfast.
