RECONNECT
Meadowlark Ridge offers an opportunity to reconnect with nature for a relaxing weekend getaway. Upon arrival you can't help but notice the calming effect of biophilia - a concept popularized by E. O. Wilson that recognizes our innate love of nature and living systems.
Carefully selected natural materials surround you – from the log interior to the leather, wood and wool furnishings. The views from each room and sounds from outdoors help reinforce this strong connection to nature, bringing relaxation and stress reduction. The bird themes and artwork enhance this experience throughout.
Meadowlark Ridge bed and breakfast is the perfect place to relax and reconnect in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley.
About
Meadowlark Ridge bed and breakfast began as an idea in early 2019 and opened in February 2020. Our desire is to share the beauty and wonder of this marvelous place with our guests near and far.
It may be new but the property has a long history in the area. The Parslows lovingly constructed the log house in 1975. Over the past 100 years, previous owners with houses on the property were the Clads and the Haltermans.
Many years ago Oak Hill had its own post office. Oak Hill Cemetery, within walking distance, has gravestones with birth dates from 1793. The cemetery hill was also the location of many Methodist camp meetings in the 1800’s.
Oak Hill School, a one-room schoolhouse for children in the area, stood at the intersection of Dividing Ridge Road and Oak Hill School Road.
Meadowlark Ridge is surrounded by farms of 3rd and 4th generation Horns. The forest has a small pond and provides habitat to wildflowers, birds and local species, including deer, bear, foxes, coyotes, opossums, skunks, ground hogs, squirrels, chipmunks, and wild turkeys.
