History. Mineral Pools. Gourmet Dining. Nature
Welcome to The Inn at Warm Springs
Nestled in the heart of Bath County, Virginia, The Inn at Warm Springs is more than just a place to stay—it is a landmark. Since the mid-1800s, this historic site has served as the county's first courthouse and jail. Today, it stands re-imagined as a charming country inn where 19th-century character meets modern-day comfort.
Located directly across from the historic Warm Springs Pools, The Inn at Warm Springs offers an easy escape where the best of Bath County comes together.
Start your morning with freshly brewed coffee and espresso from our Coffee Shop, stroll across the street to soak in the famous natural mineral springs, explore the scenic countryside and local shops, then return for gourmet dinners and handcrafted cocktails at The Tavern.
Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a historic adventure, or a quiet retreat near the healing waters of the Warm Springs Pools, we invite you to make yourself at home.
Eclectic. Hearty. Homemade
The Tavern
Located in the original 1863 courthouse, The Tavern at the Inn offers a dining experience like no other. Enjoy a menu that blends local Virginia ingredients with classic European favorites like Beef Goulash and Chicken Schnitzel.
Pair dinner with a carefully curated wine list, craft beer, or handcrafted cocktails, and enjoy the warm, inviting atmosphere that makes The Tavern a favorite gathering place for both guests and locals.
Your Perfect Day at the Inn and Bath County
From sunrise coffee to starlit nights, here is how to make the most of your mountain getaway.
The Inn is perfectly positioned at the entry point of the village of Warm Springs, directly across from the historic Warm Spring Pools (the oldest wooden bath houses in the U.S.).
Morning | A Farm-Fresh Start
Wake up in the quiet comfort of your historic room and head down to the dining room. Enjoy a complimentary breakfast featuring coffee & espresso, our house-baked pastries, and other breakfast favorites as you plan your day's adventure.
Midday | The Healing Waters
Stroll across the street to the Jefferson Pools. Immerse yourself in the naturally warm, crystal-clear mineral waters that have drawn travelers—including Thomas Jefferson himself—to this valley for centuries. It’s the ultimate way to reset your body and mind.
Evening | Afternoon Unwind
Return to the Inn and grab a seat on our porch or in the garden. Join us in the courthouse-turned-dining-room for charming dinner. Savor our signature Schnitzel or a locally sourced trout dish, paired with a glass of wine or a craft beer from our cozy bar.
Night | Stargazing & Stories
As the mountain chill sets in, wrap yourself in a blanket and head outside. Bath County offers some of the darkest, clearest skies on the East Coast—perfect for counting constellations before you retreat to your room for the best night's sleep you've had in years.
