The
Inn at Levelfields
History
of "Level-fields" ~ The manor house is the second
homestead to be erected on this site. It was built for Thomas Sanford
Dunaway in 1857-58, at which time it was the center of a plantation
of over 1,200 acres. It has been an architectural landmark since before
the War between the States.
Characterized by an impressive double-tiered portico
on the South front and massive chimneys, Levelfields is one of
the last ante-bellum mansions to be built in the Commonwealth and
represents the final expression of the authentic hip-roofed Georgian
colonial style.
Today
at the Inn ~ The Inn is at the end of an entrance drive of
over one thousand feet. The walk leading to the main entrance lies
between hedges of ancient English Boxwood. The grounds consist of
54 acres, comprised of woods and lawn. There is also a large swimming
pool for the enjoyment of guests.
This Georgian-style plantation has been completely refurbished and filled with
family antiques and oriental rugs, and offers the very finest in the Virginia
tradition with spacious rooms, king and queen-size poster beds,
and gourmet meals.
Notable features of the Inn are its graceful and lofty proportions,
spaciousness of its dining and guest rooms, each with a working
fireplace.
