Rappahannock County revival

Blue Rock, a five-room inn and restaurant in Washington, Virginia, reopened in October following a nine-month renovation. The 80-acre property boasts stellar views of the Shenandoah. Interiors by Leah Frankl of Lumber & Light include the woodland-inspired Walden Room (right). Chef Bin Lu oversees the restaurant; a private dining room (top, right) adorned with Cole & Son wallpaper and custom millwork; and a tasting room serving assorted libations and casual fare. On tap at the latter: Samuel Smith Old Brewery oatmeal stout and an antipasti plate. Rates from $299 during the week and $489 on weekends. bluerockva.com  Photos: Jennifer Chase.
