What a great place! This is not just a bed and breakfast, they have a public tea room and they are not just selling tea, this is an experience. Located in Berkeley Springs, WV, they opened not long ago. You have to cross grass to get from the parking lot to the outdoor patio...but boy what a wonderful drive and the views are fabulous. Once you get to the outdoor patio, it's fairly easy to get around the tea room but the rooms for the bed and breakfast are up stairs. I think there is a one inch step through the door of the tea room and plenty of room to maneuver once you're in. The owner has over 80 teas and homemade treats to go with their teas. I think right now the tea room is only open on Fridays and Saturday's officially but you may want to call because they do service for the Bed & Breakfast. If you have a special occasion, this could be a great choice. This is a really quiet and private bed and breakfast if you're looking to get away from it all.

My wife and I spent 3 nights over the 4th of July holiday and had a wonderful relaxing time. Anthony and Kathleen couldn't be more friendly and personable to make our stay very comfortable. The property is amazing and the views are beautiful. If you want a quiet place to relax, White Pines Estates is that place. We will definitely go again in the very near future. Thanks for everything.

My wife and I were coming to Virginia to say good-bye to a dear friend. We left early so we could spend time with framily in West VA. That Framily had some things going on that would have made staying with them somewhat uncomfortable so, unbeknown to us, they rented is a short stay at White Pines.
The place is quite charming and has a tea room with an impressive variety of teas. We were given a tour by the owners (Forgive me, I am terrible with names) and asked what tea we would like.
The room was very comfortable. The place was quiet. If you walk outside at night, either from the balcony or the back deck, you can make out the Milky Way with the naked eye. The rolling hillsides and lush greenery all added to the charm of the place.
We did not take full advantage of all of the amenities as we were trying to maximize our time with those we were visiting but I can assure you that they know how to host an event (wedding, gender reveal, baby shower).
We are very happy we stayed and will do so again should the opportunity present itself.

Ah-ma-zing!!!! Luved everything about this place. Beautiful, big house, gorgeous view of a sea of trees and fields, quiet, close to the quaint town of Berkley Springs. The absolute best part of the visit? The innkeepers. We feel like part of their family! FYI - The Tea Room is to die for! The pictures don't do this place a lick of justice.

Had an excellent luncheon at the adjoining Ellen's Tearoom. Owners, Kathleen and Anthony are always on top of their game with tasty selections and customer service!

I hate to rain on the love parade, but our experience at the White Pines left us disappointed. For starters, I think it's important to know that this bed and breakfast is nothing more than a guest bedroom in someone's house. There's nothing of the estate to the experience. Perhaps this is to your desire and if so, you'll surely love it.
For us, however, the notion of sleeping in a guest room in a stranger's house provided neither the sense of privacy nor the sense of freedom we've had in other such stays. There are rules/absences of comforts which made the stay seem restrictive (no food or drink in your room) and unwelcoming (no TV or other entertainment aside from books in their library). In short, we felt like we stumbled into a house and were put up for the night, opposed to feeling like we had our own room and privacy to relax and unwind in our way, like perhaps snacking or drinking and maybe watching a movie. I get the off-the-grid thing and we've done that before, but there was more to do in those locations and the room itself offered more privacy and more options to unwind.
The hosts were nice enough, but perhaps overly so, and the hosts and their permanent houseguest lazying around the TV (which we were invited to join in for...) as "entertainment" was not the kind of host/guest experience we're used to at all. They kept telling us we were like family, but that's not why we go to B&Bs. We don't need a family, we need a getaway, down time, alone time, even a smidge of luxury, and most certainly privacy. We felt like we had to keep our volume low so as not to wake the hosts, even though we could hear everyone else's conversations, and there's an intercom system in the room that we had no way of knowing was eavesdropping. This isn't our first B&B at all, but it's definitely not what we hoped it would be, either. We had booked two nights, but left after just one. Even at that, had we not arrived so late, were dog-tired from the drive, and had wanted to experience the Apple Butter Festival the next day, we'd have turned around and drove back home that night.
If your idea of a B&B is getting to know strangers and sitting around like "family," then this is your cup of tea. If you seek escape, privacy, to be treated like responsible adults who won't spill or get things dirty (shoes off in the house, children!) then you won't like it here.

The White Pines Estate is an excellent, relaxing place to stay while enjoying the many things to do in and around Berkeley Springs. My wife and I stayed for two nights and loved the peaceful location, amazing hosts, and delicious food. It was our first time at a Bed and Breakfast, but the owners made us instantly feel like part of the family. I would definitely recommend visiting the Tea Room or requesting the picnic basket during your stay - the sandwiches, cheeses, and desserts were too good to miss!

The bed and breakfast was lovely. Incredible views. Very pleasant location that was quiet and dark for sleeping comfort. We stayed two nights and the breakfasts and teas were great. Anthony and Kathleen were very accommodating.
