The Main Manor House

Experience the tradition and elegance of Historic Rosemont Manor – Virginia’s newest premiere Bed and Breakfast

Rosemont is an unusually bright and airy estate home with large windows and graceful proportions. The grand foyer, with its gracious sweeping staircase is the focal point of the house.

Painted in Rosemont’s signature rich red, the grand foyer soars to two levels culminating in pillared archways in the gallery above. These archways echo the three large Palladian-style windows which invite the afternoon light. Off the grand foyer to the north is the parlor, whose intimate conversation areas make it perfect for reading or enjoying a board game. Opposite and across the hall from the parlor is the former library and living room. It is now the dining room, or as we like to call it, the “Rosemont Room”. Its many windows afford guests an exquisite view of the exterior gardens in the morning light.

Adjacent to the Rosemont Room is the strikingly handsome original dining room, with exquisite oak paneling installed by Senator Byrd, Sr. If these walls could talk, we could learn of the many “off-the-record” conversations between prominent Washingtonians conducted here “back in the day”. It has now been converted into the lounge, with an inlaid wood bar and glass-front cabinets.

Step through a triple set of French doors at the south of the mansion, you’ll find our bright sun room that also opens to the Rosemont Room–the perfect place for relaxing or entertaining.

The charm of Rosemont is also found in the small places that add a simple but special touch not immediately evident to the casual visitor. The butler’s pantry with its hand-beaten copper drain board, glass-faced cabinets and hidden 100-year-old vault, the grand wood-paneled attic with servants’ quarters, and the upstairs linen room with its multitude of deep cedar-lined closets and drawers, all remind you that Rosemont, in all her grandeur and history, remains at its heart, a home.
