About this property

The Tannery! Private Dipping Pool In The Warm Springs Stream! Pet Friendly!

  • The Tannery was built ca. 1820 on Old Germantown Road, an historic central byway, which in its heyday was an important part of revolutionary Virginia and used for the exploration of the then western frontier. Constructed with handmade brick and heart pine beams, The Tannery was initially a blacksmith shop, a tannery and a relay station for riders to obtain fresh horses.

    In 1997, The Tannery was updated, remodeled and furnished with antiques. Large double back porches overlook two streams, a lovely treed half acre and the Alleghany Mountains. The Warm Springs Stream flows through the rear of the property, with warm mineral water around 75-85 degrees depending on whether it has rained or the air temperature is cool. There is a small pool and waterfall for a unique soaking experience day or night. To the side of the house, a cold artisan spring trickles through watercress to meet the Warm Springs Stream.


    Within walking distance, the center of Warm Springs village is a charming step back into time. The newly renovated Warm Springs Pools are a quarter mile from The Tannery. The village is 5 miles north of the historic Homestead Hotel. Wonderful restaurants are abundant including pubs. The area is also surrounded by State and National Park land with plenty of out door activities. Or just relax on the main porch of The Tannery: read, bird watch, or nap. The Tannery is the perfect place for a romantic getaway or an activity filled weekend. Come enjoy the beautiful mountains of Virginia.

    Amenities: Parking, Fireplace, Wifi, VCR & Tapes, CDs & Stereo, Full Kitchen, Microwave, Toaster Oven, Two Refrigerators, Cooking utensils provided, AC Window Units in bedrooms, Mini Split, Fans, Linens provided, Laundry facilities, Maid service.

Warm Springs Getaway

We enjoyed the location of the property and had so much fun with our dog in the warm Springs at the back of the home. Perfect location to walk to town and the Warm Springs Pools just down the road. Many wonderful dining options close by. We loved using the Wood Stove at night!

Charming Historic Property

My husband and I thought The Tannery was the perfect place to stay for our anniversary. We weren't looking for modern amenities, and between its size and its age, it reminded us of several places we have lived in the past. The Warm Springs Stream pool and waterfall were wonderful. The water was just the right temperature (not hot and not cold), and the privacy was appreciated. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Relax in the Tannery

We loved our weekend stay at the Tannery! The backyard stream was invigorating. Despite the morning October chill, we enjoyed the backyard water before our soak at nearby Jefferson pool. Dinner and drinks at Waterwheel Restaurant were within walking distance. The porches were tranquil with the sound of the stream. Our stay refreshed us!

A Warm Spring at The Tannery

What a wonderful find. 200 year old house in perfect cozy condition. The back porch saw a lot of us. The babbling brook in the back yard is warm spring-fed as described. Soaking pool there was warm indeed. Spent a lot of time there too. Hosts Mimi and Jack told us everything we needed to know. Looking forward to a return trip.

nice place to come after driving and fishing each day

kitchen was well supplied with things needed for cooking. There are nice restaurants in the area but we were too tired to dress or bother with calling for a reservation, The porch is a nice place to relax and eat. We had a 25 lb dog with us and the road is pretty quiet so easy to walk pet. There is an upstairs sleeping porch with twin beds which I think children would love. They could watch the fireflies as they feel asleep.

Beautiful!

We picked the perfect time to visit this beautiful property. The air was cool and all the leaves were turning brilliant fiery shades of orange, red, and yellow. Steam rose from the springs each chilly morning, and in the afternoon, we climbed in and enjoyed the warm water after a long hike at the nearby trail. Saturday evening we ate at the Waterwheel Restaurant, and it was wonderful! I recommend this property to anyone, and look forward to coming back for a longer stay. :)

Unique and beautiful place

My wife and I just enjoyed the nicest weekend at The Tannery. This is a historic old brick building that is comfortably rustic. We slept on the sleeping porch which we hadn’t done in decades, and which was really fun, listening to the sounds, looking at the moon rise, the stars and then the sun rise. So fun. The property has a creek that is the runoff from the Warm Springs Pools so it is warm and easy to get into. We were in walking distance to the Pools and also to the first class Waterwheel Restaurant and on the way back from dinner a yearling bear stood up and checked us out before bounding off. Highly recommend this property for a Warm Springs visit!

Relaxing get away in Bath County

Super adorable property right on the warm springs. 90% of our time was spent either on the back porch or down by the springs. The springs are nice and neat not snaky or weedy. They are indeed great for soaking and floating. We did unfortunately have mice in the house so if you have an issue with those check with the property owner to see if they have vacated. There were also quite a few small spiders and webs inside. The kitchen had ants but we seemed to have finally gotten rid of them by the end of our stay. The place is within easy walking to the little town and close to other local attractions. Be sure to look up at the stars at night while you are there! I'd stay here again inspite of our creature friends that we had.

First getaway with Bala

What a great place rustic and charming!!!!! It was our first getaway with our dog Bala, and we choose the Tannery because they allowed pets. The back yard was a dream come true for Bala. She enjoyed running all over the place. We brought along our badminton set and had some fierce games between my wife, son and me. We all enjoyed the beds on the screen upper deck especially during the rain that rolled through the first night. The stream out back was the cherry on top. The sound of it from the back decks was soothing and my son and I enjoyed catching minnows with our hands. Even Bala approved of the stream. The only thing I would say as an improvement would be some memory foam topper for the beds.

The Best Place to Stay in Warm Springs

Every time I come to the area, I stay in the Tannery, because it is magical. For those who love rustic, historic charm and a beautiful setting, the Tannery is perfection for a couple or small family. Sitting in the natural pool that is formed by Warm Springs Run is the experience of a lifetime--it's from the spring that feeds the amazing historic bathhouses down the road. If you don't feel like paying $30 for a soak, the natural pool at the Tannery provides a charming alternative. Of course, the water is cooler by the time it gets there. But it is still clear, refreshing, and full of minerals. If you are not the soaking type, then you'll love sitting on the two back porches. Such a memorable retreat for those who value slowing down, enjoying a peaceful natural setting, and escaping from modernity into a rustic past.

This property was absolutely amazing!!! It was like taking a step back in time, and when we walked in the door it felt like the house was wrapping its arms around us and giving us a big hug to welcome us in.

We had a wonderful experience at the Tannery. The inside was cozy and clean.

We also enjoyed our dip in the spring and some walks to the small village nearby. The owners also were great to communicate with and accommodated some additional requests of ours.

House is charming but old. Five star outstanding features include sleeping porches, a lovely yard and surroundings, and, of course, the magical warm mineral "dipping" creek in the back yard, which are alone worth the stay. I would strongly recommend that owners find a way to install a full sized refrigerator near the kitchen, as the dormitory sized one on the floor, and the full sized one in the basement (which you have to go outside to reach) is quite inconvenient. There are a lot of stairs. Also, guests should be aware that the house is only a few feet from the road, although there is very little traffic. A unique and beautiful property - recommend it for adults only.

Didn't get the full experience, as it rained all week and the creek was chilly, but enjoyed ourselves, nonetheless. Sleeping porch is the best! Little bit of an ant challenge that can be easily remedied with a trash can with a lid that seals. Otherwise great! We hope to come back to Warm Springs.

Looking forward to our next stay

This was our third time staying at the historic Tannery, and it continues to be one of our favorite places. Warm Springs and the entire mountain area is a relaxing rural getaway from the daily grind. Easy walking and driving distance to many good restaurants, as well as great local hikes and biking, and of course is dog friendly. One of our favorite things is the sleeping porch. Also, be sure to take advantage of the access to the 'Warm Springs' in the back yard, the same spring that flows from the Jefferson Pools up the road. Also keep an eye out for the local wildlife, such as deer, chipmunks, flying squirrels, and even a family of black bears. We're already looking forward to our next stay!

Unsafe Location

The property owners have the keys for the property under a hide-a-key and expect the renters to return it after entry (keys on the dining room table). In addition to using a hide-a-key that is generally unsafe, none of the windows on the lower level have a lock on them and open very easily. VRBO customer service confirmed these are safety violations, so stay at your own risk.

Hot springs weekend

We had a magical stay at this property! Given it’s historic nature, be sure to expect lower ceilings and uneven floors. However, that only added to the magic of the location! It truly felt like being transported back in time (with the amenities of clean bed sheets and a warm shower, of course!). The spring at the back of the property truly is a hot spring. We would definitely recommend staying here. Our only suggestion would be to message the host ahead of your stay about the location of the key. Additionally, please note that the only television on the property is an old CRTV with vhs attachment. Our stay was focused on a visit to the Hot Springs and touring Bath County, so this wasn’t an issue for us.

Not good

The property advertised a private dipping pool of 90 degree water which would be a hot spring. But there is no spring on the property just a creek. House was ok but overall pricery without a hot spring. Contacted owner who said it is sometimes warm depending on the weather. That the Warm Springs Pools were up the road. We have been to those and they tend to be crowded. Our whole purpose of renting this property was for the spring. We did not stay. I had a family emergency and we had to leave not long after we arrived. I suggest the property description be changed so others wont be as disappointed as we were..
