Rappahannock County, Virginia

Rolling hills and jaw-dropping vistas define Rappahannock County. It’s where Washingtonians come to escape the rat race. The county takes its name from the Rappahannock River, which forms its northeastern border.
You won’t find any stoplights in the whole county. Seriously. It’s that rural. The village of (Little) Washington is the county seat and has lots of choices of restaurants. The Inn at Little Washington put it on the culinary map.
Shenandoah National Park forms the western border with world-class hiking. Rappahannock’s strict zoning laws have preserved its natural beauty. You’ll find apple orchards and vineyards here. It’s a place that values its slow pace and connection to the land. Artists and writers have long been drawn to its quiet beauty.
