Get away. Play.

Whether you are looking for a relaxing weekend getaway or an active tennis or outdoor adventure, the newly opened Crossed Racquets Inn at Twin Gates offers an elegant intimate setting where guests feel like they’re visiting family in the country.

Tucked into the beautiful, tranquil Northern Shenandoah Valley, our inn is located in the quaint historic village of Millwood.  Antique shops, the still operating 1785 Burwell-Morgan Mill, and our local gourmet and wine market, Locke Modern Country Store, are just down the street. Just a little further away (30 minutes or less), are vineyards, more antique shops, Civil War battlefields, numerous restaurants, historic home & museum tours, foxhunting, horseback riding and equestrian events, Shenandoah University and Conservatory, and the 700-acre State Arboretum of Virginia, as well as plentiful opportunties for hiking, biking, golf, tubing, canoeing, and kayaking--and, of course, tennis!

Right in the heart of Virginia Horse Country, we are an easy 75-minute drive from the Washington Beltway, a mere two hours from Richmond, and only 45-minutes from Dulles Airport. Spacious and cheerful, our restored Colonial Revival home is surrounded by stone walls and enjoys lovely gardens and verandas. Our three guestrooms are comfortable, inviting, and tastefully decorated to reflect the horse country region as well as our interest in tennis.

Enjoy your drive as the rolling hills of the Virginia Piedmont give way to the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains which frame our region. Historic towns like Middleburg, Upperville, and Winchester are only about 20 minutes away which makes for leisurely day-trip outings. Winchester is also the home of Shenandoah University and Conservatory with its robust performing arts focus featuring numerous plays, concerts, and recitals. There are lots of things to do and see all around the region.

Come and make memories soon!
