About This Bed and Breakfast
WildManDan Brewery & 1870 Farmhouse is a unique, adults-only (21+) bed and breakfast in Afton, Virginia, paired with an on-site artisan brewery. Set on a scenic property in Nelson County’s Blue Ridge foothills, the property offers the historic 1870 farmhouse for guest stays along with direct access to the brewery taproom and beer-centric amenities.
Atmosphere
The ambiance blends rustic historic character with craft-beer culture. Guests describe meandering through the grounds past hop-beds and farmland before arriving at the farmhouse or brewery space. The setting is relaxed yet distinctive—ideal for beer-lovers, couples seeking a quirky stay, or groups booking the house together. The brewery setting adds a playful edge: think taps, grill-cheese pairings, and a vibe somewhat different from a traditional bed & breakfast.
Cleanliness
Visitors note that the lodging portion offers clean, well-maintained rooms and communal spaces, with modern comforts integrated into the historic structure. The farmhouse and guest spaces provide a sense of privacy, with care shown in furnishings and guest-ready amenities, balanced with the property’s unconventional style.
Bathrooms
Each guest unit in the farmhouse features private or dedicated bathroom facilities, comfortable beds, and styling that reflects the building’s 19th-century origins combined with updated guest amenities. Rooms are well-reviewed for comfort and upkeep, and the property’s adult-focused nature means the design and feel skew toward group stays or adult getaways.
Breakfast
While the experience here deviates from a standard full breakfast service, guests appreciate morning coffee service, snack options, and the hosts’ attentiveness. The guest-house component is supported by the brewery’s hours and social atmosphere, making hospitality feel tailored yet laid-back.
