My husband and I stayed at The Rooms Up There right off Main Street in Marshall, Virginia for a mini anniversary getaway. The directions to and parking were very clear as well as check-in. We appreciated the self-check-in and how quaint and quiet it was. The room was beautifully decorated, very clean, and had all of the amenities we wanted and needed for a weekend getaway. We spent time in the Common Room playing cards and enjoying some beverages and snacks. We also adventured the downtown Marshal area with live music, great restaurants, and wonderful environment. It's a great getaway spot!

The soft launch of the Rabbit Hole gift shop and cafe was a wonderful experience! The quaint shop was exquisitely decorated for the holiday season including a full sized trimmed tree. The shop had a carefully curated collection of gift items and books including a wonderful display of children's offerings. The coffee and pastries were delicious especially the handcrafted Christmas cutout cookies. I'm anxiously awaiting the full opening of the cafe!

I recently had the pleasure of attending a baby shower at The Rosemary in downtown Marshall, and it was a wonderful experience! From start to finish, the staff at The Rosemary were incredibly attentive and accommodating, making sure that every detail was just right. Leah, in particular, was a standout. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly, and was always available to answer any questions or concerns. Her attention to detail and warm personality really made the event feel special. The room itself was absolutely perfect. It was spacious, yet cozy, with plenty of natural light and charming decor. I loved the mix of modern and vintage elements, which gave the space a unique and inviting. Another bonus of The Rosemary is the ample parking. This was especially important for our event, as we had many guests traveling from out of town. The convenience of having plenty of nearby parking really made a difference. Overall, I highly recommend The Rosemary for any event or gathering. The space is lovely, the staff is attentive, and the location is unbeatable. Thank you to Leah and the team at The Rosemary for making my daughter’s baby shower such a memorable occasion!

Worth every penny. Owner is very responsive and directions for your stay are sent ahead of time as well as a nice little welcome package waiting upon arrival. The building is an unassuming hidden little gem. The inside is very clean and tidy. The beds are luxurious and comfortable. Impeccable decor both inside and out. The complimentary snacks and beverages in the Commons (sitting room) was above and beyond. WiFi is available and dependable. My daughter and I stayed here while I was visiting from out of town. We felt like we were staying in a lovely country home and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet time. We even extended out stay by two days and the owner was most helpful to figure out a way to accommodate us. The first few days we were there alone, and it felt like our place. But even when other guests arrived, we felt everyone was respectful of the space, and there were no disturbances to our feeling of being "at home." I can not say enough good things about our host, and his lovely escape in the beautiful Virginia countryside. So many great little towns nearby to enjoy (Middleburg, The Planes). The gift cards the The Red Truck Bakery were also appreciated. Do yourself a favor and visit the Interior Design space below the Rooms, exquisite taste. I would like to note that if you are expecting a "hotel" like experience with TV, Front Desk etc...this is not your jam. I was very happy to not have that vibe, so we could have a more intimate experience one on one, and get out and enjoy what the surrounding areas had to offer. Our favorites: Field and Main (for dinner), Half Past Moon (for breakfast), Happy Creek Coffee Coffee & Tea (for an excellent pour over coffee or Earl lavender tea). While I appreciated the host giving us our space, my only regret was not meeting him in person to share my thanks in person. Thank you Dan. We will be back.

My wife and I stayed here to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. The location was perfect, the accommodations were very comfortable and quiet, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The staff went way above and beyond. I reached out before our stay to ask about having flowers delivered and placed in our room prior to our arrival. Not only did they call to let me know they had arrived, but they placed them in the room and arranged them beautifully!!! My wife was totally blown away, and I couldn’t have pulled it off without the help I received! The commons room with games, snacks, coffee, and water was a very pleasant surprise! This place truly is a wonderful gem, and we have already recommended it to friends and family!

Absolutely loved this hotel! The room was large and the furniture and decor was beautiful. The two cozy robes was a super nice touch! The common area is just beautiful as well and stocked with snacks for you to take as well. Leah who works there is so kind and easy to communicate with. Do not hesitate to book this hotel, you will not regret it!

The Rabbit Hole / The Rooms Up There made me feel like I was transported into a peaceful fairytale. The rooms are cozy and decorated beautifully. They were wonderful to communicate with - kind, clear, helpful. The check-in process was seamless. I loved the common area for quality conversation time with my friends over a hot cup of tea. I am very excited to see their expansion efforts that will soon include a bookstore and cafe on-site!! We’ll definitely return again soon!!
