Bouge’s B&B

After running out of heating oil in the dead of winter, my husband made a same day reservation at Bouge’s via text. Fortunately, they were able to accommodate us on such short notice, and even offered us a special package that included dinner and drinks!
We checked in around 7 pm, and enjoyed freshly baked homemade bread with our hosts. The owners are super accommodating, and really strive to make you feel at home– you can take their dog for walks, chase their kid around, even help with dishes!
We were served a delicious crockpot meal, but the one low point was dessert. Our hosts concocted some strange sort of microwave cake– I cannot recommend it.
Recent cutbacks include the cancellation of cable service. We used our Amazon Prime service to download the first episode of «An Idiot Abroad» (great show, btw).
We booked the couples suite, which features a comfy queen size bed, lending library, and poang ikea chair (perfect for curling up with the theology book you just borrowed).
Breakfast is a free-​for-​all. Do try your hand at the espresso machine. The proprietor would be happy to give you a lesson.
Overall, the best place I’ve stayed in RVA for less than $ 35/​night.
**UPDATED** The owner read my review, and has agreed to remove the aforementioned disgusting microwave cake from the menu. This is great news for B&B lodgers everywhere!
