A breakfast at Hot Springs, VA’s Vine Cottage Inn is always a treat. Starting with a cup of fresh-brewed 100% Columbian coffee by 6am, breakfast service begins at 8am. Tammy will serve you juice, fruit and a sweet item as soon as you are seated while Dave is preparing your main entree. Breakfast may consist of Praline French Toast, Pancakes, Waffles or any number of other delicious offerings. A portion of breakfast meat and eggs will be provided daily. You will have different breakfast foods each day, even if your stay lasts up to a week or more.
If you need a cup of coffee earlier than 6am, or would like an afternoon or late-night cup, the Inn is equipped with a Keurig and a variety of K-Cup flavors, along with a selection of hot tea. For those that prefer to find their caffeine in other ways, a guest fridge is stocked in the coffee room with complimentary sodas and bottled water and is available 24/7.
