Ridgely Bed, Breakfast, and Historic Gardens

Ridgely has been a fixture in the Alleghany Highlands for over 100 years, welcoming friends, family, and guests to relax and unwind in its comfortable setting. Built in 1902 by Ambrose and Rives Ford, Ridgely was and remains one of the most spectacular homes in the Highlands, known by many throughout the region simply as The Ford House. From the time of its construction, Ridgely has known only 3 families to call it home – The Fords, The Roberts, and now Sean and Lisa Dunster. We welcome you to experience a house and gardens like none other. Built on the side of Fore Mountain, Ridgely and Ridgely Gardens encompass 2 acres, with dozens of varieties of flowers, plants, bushes, and trees, many of which have been here since the 1920s. Walk the grounds enveloped by nature, sit and relax among the beauty, leave refreshed and wanting to come back again and again.
