From the Zillow listing:

 

If these walls could talk, they’d tell the story of travelers, stagecoaches, and more than two centuries of Shenandoah Valley history. Known as the historic Crabill Tavern, this remarkable Federal-style landmark once served travelers journeying along the Valley Pike, offering food, lodging, and hospitality long before modern highways existed. Later operating as a hotel, the property remains a rare opportunity to own and preserve a true piece of Shenandoah County history. Today, the home stands on 4.99 acres and offers over 3,500 square feet filled with character that simply cannot be replicated. Original hardwood floors, spacious rooms, fireplaces, and historic architectural details showcase the quality craftsmanship and timeless character that have allowed this home to thrive for more than two centuries. Every room reflects the character and authenticity that make historic homes so special. The property extends well beyond the main residence. An attached one-bedroom cabin with an additional bathroom provides flexible space for guests, extended family, a private office, or creative pursuits. Outside, a large barn, in-ground pool, and pool house complement the grounds, creating endless possibilities for entertaining, hobbies, restoration projects, or simply enjoying the beauty of the Shenandoah Valley. Whether you’re drawn to the home’s fascinating history, historic architecture, or the opportunity to become the next steward of a local landmark, the Crabill Tavern offers something truly rare: the chance to own a property that has been part of the Valley’s story for generations and is ready for its next chapter. Property is being sold strictly as-is, where-is.
