The Ebenezer House Bed & Breakfast offers charming chalet-style lodging in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This quaint and historic wooden home boasts a unique story of its own. The home was once located in Culpeper, Virginia, where it served as the Ebenezer Methodist Church starting in 1901. The building was left abandoned for many years until 1984, when Robert Gordon, a well-known cabinet and furniture joiner, decided to adopt the home as his next project. He took the building apart, moved it to its current location on 3 acres of property in Madison, and then rebuilt it from scratch. That makes the building nearly 120 years old! See photos of how the building was re-assembled. The Ebenezer House gives its guests the rare opportunity to stay at a place that was taken apart, moved to an entirely new location, and rebuilt from the foundation up.

The Ebenezer House is located in a lush wooded stretch of land near the rushing Rapidan River in Madison, Virginia. Guests fall in love with its beautiful collection of antiques, its unique spiral staircase, and its well-stocked personal library. If you can say anything about Ebenezer House, it’s that the place has character. Guests love to lounge on one of the several decks and porches, where they can relax while reading a book, sipping tea, or watching a sunset. You might even spot some deer wandering around the wooden grounds. The Ebenezer House is a relaxing escape from busy Washington, D.C or a fun and welcoming addition to any Virginia vacation.

The Ebenezer House is a pet- and child-friendly property. The welcoming and friendly environment at Ebenezer House will make all members of the family, canine or otherwise, feel right at home. Your pets will have lots of room to roam on the 3 acres of lush wooded grounds. Ebenezer House will even arrange a dog sitter while you are touring the region’s wineries or historical sites.
