lhe Gay Street Inn belongs to the Washington Hospitality and Visitors Association and supports their fellow B&B owners because they believe that “a rising tide lifts all boats.” They are proud that other Inn owners in the Ibwn work together and support each other by sharing information and referring customers. “This makes for a healthy business environment,” Adams added.
In this spirit, the Gay Street Inn steers its visitors to local stores, orchards, farms, vineyards and antique stores and art galleries, as well as nearby attractions as the Shenandoah National Park where both have hiked and eryoyed for years.
