Does your life seem ruled by meetings, phone calls, emails, text messages and occasionally an overwhelming sense of being just a little too “accessible”? Would you like to have a couple of days to just jump off life’s hamster wheel and catch your breath? Does the idea of a comfortable, relaxing, pampering and pressure-free getaway sound inviting to you? Then treat yourself (and your special someone) to a weekend at The Collins House Inn bed and breakfast in Marion, VA.

The Collins House Inn in Marion, VA
We’re conveniently located just off of I-81 (at Exits #44 and #45) about 45 miles north of Bristol, TN/VA and about 65 miles south of Roanoke, VA and only 30 miles south of the intersection of I-81 and I-77 in Wytheville, VA.
No, you won’t find a Saks Fifth Avenue or Macy’s here, nor will you find loud nightclubs and bumper-to-bumper beltway traffic. What you will find is a quiet, friendly small town, several really nice restaurants within easy walking distance of our inn (1-1/2 to 3 blocks), an abundance of natural beauty with a bunch of “outdoorsy” kinds of activities (We ARE in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest VA!) and just a very, V-E-E-R-RY slow pace. Marion is home to The Lincoln Theatre in case you’d like to take in a show. Visit their website at www.thelincoln.org for a complete list of upcoming performances. Read More→

Following, is a little bit about why we created this new blog category:
