Voted "Inn with the Best Wedding Arrangements in the Nation" by Arrington’s B& B Journal, the scene is straight out of an old screenplay. Imagine riding up in a horse-drawn carriage to The Black Horse Inn, and it’s elegant, mansion-style reception facility, The Gilded Fox with seating for 200 guests. The Inn offers eight rooms with private baths, overlooking breath-taking panoramic views of thoroughbreds grazing in pastures. Perfect for bridal photography is a grand wedding gazebo, magnificent porticos, stone fireplaces, stately flagstone terraces and a picturesque pond and bridge. The Inn takes pride in giving brides a tasteful, elegant atmosphere in which to hold a reception lasting the whole weekend, rather than just a few hours.

Raspberry Plain

Rich in history, the estate known as Raspberry Plain since 1731, is set on fifty rolling green acres overlooking the Catoctin Mountains. Raspberry Plain was granted by Lord Fairfax in 1731 to Joseph Dixon. In 1754, Mr. Dixon sold the property to Aeneas Campbell, the first sheriff of Loudoun County. The property also became the site of Loudoun County's first jailhouse. In 1760, Thomson Mason, younger brother of George Mason IV, purchased Raspberry Plain from Aeneas Campbell.

Thomson of Raspberry Plain, as he became known, was Burgess in the Virginia Assembly and one of the first trustees of Leesburg. In 1771, he built a mansion house at Raspberry Plain where he raised his four children. As you drive down the winding road to the mansion house you will be surrounded by beautiful aromatic lilac bushes that weave through a canopy of century-old hardwood trees that reveal glimpses of the magnificent historic, Georgian Colonial mansion house. The mansion's portico offers a spectacular backdrop for any event of the South Lawn and a picturesque scene for any farewell. The North Lawn boasts a breathtaking, majestic view of the mountains, pastures and pond.

The hall's sparkling chandeliers, detailed archway and dramatic staircase, announce the elegance of all of the mansion's rooms. Each room's charming character is enhanced by period furnishings and paintings. All the mansion rooms have glass paneled, double pocket doors, fireplaces and original detailed ceiling molding.

One of the highlights at Raspberry Plain is the spectacular Grand Conservatory. This two-story high room features walls of glass arching in the gables and French doors leading to the formal gardens and walkways. The stone walls, large columns and massive cherry-trimmed windows compliment the surrounding panoramic views of the formal gardens, pond field and distant mountains. Evening brings the soft hues of golden lights. The Grand Conservatory has the capacity of 200 seated guests with room for musicians and dancing. Whether it's Summer, Winter, Spring or Fall, Raspberry Plain offers a worry-free plan for your special event. The Mansion and Grand Conservatory is a
smoke-free environment and the entire estate is wheelchair accessible.
