In the Shenandoah Valley region of Virginia, where the Blue Ridge Mountains form the eastern horizon and the hills of Appalachia roll westward, the land is fertile, the history is rich and the scenery is breathtaking. It's amazing to think that the students of nearby James Madison University make it to class on time. Time just seems to move at a relaxed pace in the Shenandoah Valley. A place where
the adventurous traveler could spend the day hiking the Appalachian Trail, exploring the limestone caves at Skyline and Crystal Caverns and swim in the cool mountain springs that feed the comically named Dry River. After you've quenched your thirst for adventure, take time to picnic on the James Madison University campus and feed the ducks at the Edith J. Browse the antiques and buy a suitcase full of souvenirs downtown as you marvel at the artistry and handiwork of master craftsmen at the Virginia Quilt Museum, located just minutes from our hotel in Harrisonburg. Find time for a few holes of golf at one the Valley's champion-caliber courses, including Heritage Oaks and Lakeview. You'll get your weekend getaway in Harrisonburg off to a pitch-perfect start at First Fridays, a free art and music event held weekly April through October. We look forward to welcoming you to the Hampton Inn Harrisonburg South and helping you make the most of your visit the gem of the Shenandoah.
