Planning a getaway near Smith Mountain Lake? You may be looking for a cozy place “in the mountains” or “by the water”—but not every lodging option offers the same kind of stay.
A traditional bed and breakfast is more than a room for the night. At Bedford Landings Bed & Breakfast, your stay includes personal hospitality, a homemade breakfast, and local guidance from innkeepers who want you to enjoy the area as much as they do.
So, what is the difference between a “real B&B” and a typical vacation rental? For us, it comes down to three things: fees, food, and us.
Straightforward Pricing
Vacation-rental booking platforms can add service fees and cleaning fees on top of the nightly rate. At Bedford Landings, the room rate includes your fresh breakfast and the care that goes into preparing the inn for your arrival.
Of course, local sales and hospitality taxes still apply, but there are no separate platform service fees or surprise cleaning charges added at checkout.
A Homemade Breakfast Is Part of the Stay
At a real bed and breakfast, we cook for you.
Each morning at Bedford Landings, we prepare breakfast fresh and from scratch. Jack may be making biscuits or waffles, while Karen may be serving a breakfast casserole or her homemade cinnamon rolls. And, yes—there is always our famous bacon.
You are not simply handed a grab-and-go breakfast. You are welcomed to the table and served a hot, plated meal designed to help you slow down and enjoy your getaway.
Hospitality From People Who Know the Area
A vacation rental can provide a comfortable place to stay. A traditional B&B adds the people who make the stay more personal.
As your innkeepers, we welcome you, help you get settled, and share recommendations for local restaurants, things to do, and places worth exploring around Smith Mountain Lake and Bedford County. Breakfast also gives guests a chance to connect, swap stories, and enjoy the relaxed conversation that many tell us becomes a favorite part of their visit
No Airs About Us—Just a Real B&B Experience
Bedford Landings Bed & Breakfast is proud to be a member of the Bed & Breakfast Association of Virginia. Its president coined a phrase we love: “No airs about us!”
There is no “Air” in B&B—and there is no substitute for genuine hospitality, a home-cooked breakfast, and innkeepers who are glad you are here.
