    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We arrived earlier than anticipated, but the staff was very attentive and accommodating. The rooms were beautifully decorated.

    This 1822 inn yes is beautiful. The rooms are magnificent and the included breakfast is top-notch. Also, a very convenient location on Main Street.

    More street noise than expected, parlour accessible from outside only, could use hook on back of bathroom door

    The Inn is filled with charm and warmth. Felt like I was in someone’s home. Our suite was on the 2nd floor, and was spacious, bright and clean. The bed was super comfortable. Well located to walk to restaurants. Jake the manager was friendly and always available to answer questions. Free parking was a great addition to an easy and enjoyable stay.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We loved the location (walking around the UVA campus, to meals and the downtown mall) and the authentic historic property. Plus an excellent breakfast at the Farm Bell Kitchen on site.

    We loved our stay

    Free parking in the garage in the back. And a great breakfast at the Cow Bell Kitchen!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Breakfast at the Farm Bell kitchen is very good!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Jake welcomed us at the door, room was beautiful, property was historic yet felt cozy and the breakfast was incredible. This was one of the nicest places I've stayed in the US.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We really enjoyed the Dinsmore Inn after touring Monticello. Our room was very nice and the manager Jake was extremely helpful with arrival information, checking in, and helpful tidbits on the hotel and town. The breakfast at Farm Bell Kitchen was also really good and a great way to start the day. We just wish we had more time to stay longer. Would definitely stay here again

    Staff excellent!

    The Dinsmore House is a lovely small historic hotel in Charlottesville that feels like a cozy BnB with wonderful historic character. The location is in easy walking distance to downtown or UVA. The staff are helpful and so nice! Our room was spacious and clean, with comfortable pillows and linens on the bed, and the bathroom is updated and sparkling. They have a well stocked hospitality room with comfortable sofas for the guests, stocked with coffee and tea, a refrigerator and some snacks. There are also some outside tables and chairs to relax outdoors. Free garage parking nearby. The restaurant next door, Bell Farm Kitchen, has a fabulous breakfast menu and the hotel provides a breakfast voucher with your stay! I highly recommend this hotel!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    A lovely stay in a special hotel - staff very welcoming & informative, room was excellent and location perfect

  • Engine customer May 2026

    I am not typically a bed and breakfast person, but the reviews and location tempted me into booking. I am so glad I did. From checking in with the host, to the quaint and well kept room, to the fabulous location and of course the incredible breakfast - everything was wonderful. Do not hesitate to book here, you absolutely will love it.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Great staff. Breakfast menu was quite extensive and delicious.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The only item we did not like was that when taking a bath or shower the water was not hot enough. During a shower the water went completely cold. Probably an easy fix for the property. Everything else was top notch wonderful- breakfast was excellent, staff very nice and accommodating. I am recommending this place to others

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Excellent location very convenient to the downtown mall area as well as lots of restaurants on Main Street, which was an easy walk. We stayed in the library loft, which was perfect as we had an upstairs sleeping area and a separate downstairs with 2 bathrooms. Breakfast is included at Farm Bell Kitchen every morning, which is well worth it. Also, parking was included, which is a great perk for this area. Will definitely stay here again!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Staff was great! Breakfast was delicious. The hotel itself was unique in all the best ways. We were staying in one of the oldest buildings in Charlottesville. We learned , on our tour of Monticello, that Dinsmore was a master carpenter that actually built the dome (and much more) at Monticello. I believe he built this building that is now the Dinsmore. Our room was very old and very comfortable.

    I love this place! I always feel at home.
