Holiday Inn Express & Suites Culpeper

Welcome to the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites—your cozy home base for a memorable winter escape. In the colder months, Lake Pelham becomes a peaceful seasonal retreat, offering crisp air and scenic shoreline views perfect for relaxed walks, wildlife watching, and photography. While canoe and paddle rentals pause for the season, the Lake Pelham Adventures area at The Ole Country Store & Bakery—just off Route 29 South—remains a charming stop. Warm up with fresh pastries, hot cider, or homemade treats before enjoying the quiet beauty of the lakeside.

Culpeper’s renowned dining scene continues to shine through winter. Whether you're craving slow-smoked barbecue, hearty seasonal dishes, or the freshest hand-cut sushi, the town offers a wide range of inviting restaurants.

It’s food that warms you from the inside out.

Begin each morning with our complimentary hot breakfast—ideal fuel for cold-weather adventures. Then head just 35 minutes to Shenandoah National Park, where winter hiking trails offer crisp mountain air, sweeping overlooks, and peaceful landscapes dusted with snow.
