Piney Mountain

Reseguide

The initial engagement on July 21, 1861 of what would become the First Battle of Bull Run (First Manassas) took place on McLean's farm in Manassas, Virginia. Union Army artillery fired at McLean's house, which was being used as a headquarters for Confederate Brigadier General P. G. T. Beauregard, and a cannonball dropped through the kitchen fireplace. 

McLean was a retired major in the Virginia militia, but at 47, he was too old to return to active duty at the outbreak of the Civil War. In the spring of 1863, he and his family moved about 120 miles south to Appomattox County, Virginia, near a dusty, crossroads community called Appomattox Court House.

On April 9, 1865, the war revisited McLean. Confederate General Robert E. Lee was about to surrender to Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant. He sent a messenger to Appomattox Court House to find a place to meet. On April 8, 1865, the messenger knocked on McLean's door and requested the use of his home, to which McLean reluctantly agreed. Lee surrendered to Grant in the parlor of McLean's house, effectively ending the Civil War. Later, McLean is supposed to have said "The war began in my front yard and ended in my front parlor."

The staff was friendly. The hotel appeared clean. The in room refrigerator worked great. The TV was very small and not connected to the internet so no streaming. The carpet and decor are in need of repairs. The bed was not comfortable and the pillows were lumpy.

7,8/10 Good! (1 008 recensioner)
All was good except for the outer door. It slammed shut every time someone came through it. So, when the family with the little dog went for a walk at 5:30 am, the door slammed and woke my room up. If they could fix the door, it would make a huge difference. Thanks.

The house was roomy and loved the old floors. It was close to downtown and Liberty. Neighborhood seems pretty safe. Beds wer comfy and master bath was big, needs better lighting. Kitchen was all we needed. Host was great at answering questions quickly. We would stay here again.
