FROM HISTORIC PLANTATION HOUSE TO LUXURY COUNTRY INN, THE INN AT WILLOW GROVE GETS A 21^st CENTURY FACELIFT

With new owners at the helm, the historic Inn at Willow Grove is getting a new look and new life as a high-end vacation destination, opening March 2010.

ORANGE, VA (August 18, 2009) – Now under new ownership, the Inn at Willow Grove, located in Orange, Virginia, is currently undergoing a massive renovation to prepare for its grand opening in March, 2010.

After twenty-two years operating as an inn, the historic plantation house called Willow Grove, which dates back to 1778, changed ownership in February 2009. New owners David and Charlene Scibal began an extensive renovation project to preserve the historic structure of what is now called the Inn at Willow Grove, while also incorporating the comforts and amenities of the 21^st century.

Included in the renovation is a complete overhaul of all rooms and facilities to incorporate new plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems as well as completely new furnishings and finishes. Additionally, a new kitchen addition has been added to service a 60-seat restaurant and tavern, and the grounds of the 40-acre property are being reworked to include new ponds, creeks and walled gardens that capture stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. While the renovation focuses on updating and modernizing the Inn at Willow Grove, great care has been taken to preserve the historic character of this beloved Virginia landmark, which is a Virginia Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

With 14 luxurious rooms and suites, the Inn at Willow Grove will be transformed into a high-end country retreat that is entirely focused on the comfort and satisfaction of its guests. Following its grand opening in March, 2010, the Inn at Willow Grove will welcome vacationers, weddings, special events and even corporate retreats.
