the inn at montross

Welcome to our hidden gem in Montross, VA.

The Inn at Montross was originally built in the 19th century, with roots tracing back even further to the taverns of the 1600s. Over the decades, it has welcomed travelers, families, and neighbors alike — and that spirit of hospitality continues today. What once stood as Spence’s Tavern has been reimagined as The Inn at Montross, blending its historic charm with modern comforts. With five thoughtfully appointed rooms, a lively pub downstairs, and dining that celebrates local flavor, we’re proud to carry on this tradition of gathering.


If you’re looking to experience the nostalgia of small-town Virginia — with historic streets, wineries, and landmarks all around — this is the inn for you. Just steps from Montross’s courthouse square and minutes from Stratford Hall, Westmoreland State Park, and the Northern Neck’s rivers and bays, our location makes it easy to explore the best of the region.
