Your Hosts & Innkeepers

We are glad you found South Court Inn and hope you will come to stay with us at our bed and breakfast and home here in Luray, Virginia.

My husband Mike and I bought the Inn in July 2012. We are so happy to have found an Inn that is well received in the community, has great ratings, and is well established.

I have been cooking and feeding people since 1986 when I moved to America to feed my new husband. Eight years after that there were three little boys who were hungry as well. So I fed them. Besides them many friends and family from Germany and many other countries were cooked for by me. Last but not least we have welcomed seven exchange students from Germany, Sweden, Norway, Russia and the Netherlands into our home. These kids became part of our family and still keep close contact.

Besides all the cooking I earned a degree in Art History from George Mason University and have worked for eight years as a preschool teacher at HOPE preschool in Ashburn, VA.

It will be mostly me, Adelheid running the Inn, and doing the day to day chores. Not to underestimate Mike's role as the bookkeeper and lawnboy. He might just not be here when you come since he has another career.

Mike is plenty busy with his other job, a 757 and 767 captain for United Airlines. He has been flying since he is 14 and still loves it a lot. So much as a matter of fact that he is now building his/our own two seater, a Mustang II from a kit. He is so happy that the outbuildings at the Inn give him plenty of room to pursue his hobby.

We have three grown sons. The oldest is just starting his career in Atlanta, Georgia after he graduated from Virginia Tech in May. Our middle son is enrolled in James Madison University and our youngest son is starting college at the University of Virginia.

Enough about us, now we are ready to meet you and hear your story!
