About The Owner
By the Side of the Road Getaway Lodging was originally established in 1999 as Harrisonburg, Virginia’s first OFFICIAL bed and breakfast business. Founders Dennis and Janice Fitzgerald wrote the City Ordinance that defined the services of a fine B&B establishment in the region.
Now, By the Side of the Road is once again leading the way to 21st century vacation lodging as Harrisonburg, Virginia’s first OFFICIAL Getaway Lodging accommodations. Our original City Ordinance now references “short-term rental” rather than simply “bed and breakfast,” and we are on board! Our luxurious cottage accommodations, which include all the luxurious amenities you expect, have been enhanced to also offer mini kitchens, enabling guests to prepare light meals during their stay, in line with vacation rental properties in high demand by today’s traveling public.
A minimum two-night getaway or longer vacation rental is now available and affordable at By the Side of the Road Getaway Lodging. This award-winning lodging business, with twenty-years of successful operation, will maintain its five-star level of service in its new identity. Dennis and Janice Fitzgerald welcome you to be their guests now and in many return visits in the future.
