Loudoun’s Favorites:
The Readers’ Recommendations During the month of June, Loudoun Now asked readers to share their recommendations about their favorite places, people and businesses. The response was enthusiastic. Nearly 2,500 names were submitted as nominations in the poll’s more than 200 categories. Voting ended June 30 and the results are reflections of all-things Loudoun: Categories with the largest number of nominations included schools, places of worship, child care centers and restaurants. Winners spanned from some of the county’s oldest businesses to its newest. The Red Fox Inn, which opened in Middleburg in 1728, was recommended as the favorite bed and breakfast, while Twenty8 Fifty7, which opened this spring in Leesburg, was the favorite women’s clothing store.
LOUDOUN’S 2017 FAVORITES
This special section announces the winners in all categories and puts the spotlight on a few. The list of winners also can be viewed at loudounsfavorites.com. The winners will gather for a special reception July 26 at the Lightfoot Restaurant in Leesburg— the 2017 winner of the favorite fine dining location, favorite romantic dining choice and home to the favorite chef, Ingrid Gustavson.

Whether it’s weary travelers or locals looking for an escape, there is one bed and breakfast in Loudoun that makes guests feel like they’re ages away. The Red Fox Inn & Tavern in Middleburg is one of the oldest
continually operating inns in the U.S. Opened for business almost 300 years ago in 1728, it now contains 18 guest rooms within four separate buildings. The Red Fox building is the largest of them all and houses the tav-

Favorite Bed & Breakfast
ern on the first floor, The Night Fox Pub and event spaces on the second floor and six guest rooms on both the third and fourth floors. Just a short walk from there is The Stray Fox building, which houses eight rooms. Situated between these two buildings is the Middleburg House, while The 12 East Building is just a few doors down. The breakfast aspect of this B&B is found in the tavern. As the oldest restaurant in town, The Red Fox Tavern prides itself for serving traditional Virginia fare such as peanut soup—a concoction from colonial times. During the Civil War, the tavern’s bar was even used as a field surgeon’s table. “Our number one differentiator is our unique history,” Design and Marketing Manager Andrew Hock said. “Visitors usually come first for the historic ambiance, only to discover that we are also so much more than just a B&B.”

ways purchased the railroad’s property from the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway to build I-66. Later, the Virginia Electric and Power Company bought the 45-mile right of way between Alexandria and Purcellville. In 1974, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority conducted an
experiment in Falls Church, getting permission from VEPCO to build a trail in the 100-foot-wide corridor. Three years later, the authority cut a deal to buy all the right of way, completing the acquisition in 1982. In 1987, the W&OD was designated a National Recreation Trail by the U.S. Department of the Interior. A year later, the trail reached its terminus in Purcellville in 1988. Hope remains, someday, to extend the trail to Bluemont. The Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park remains among the most popular spots in Loudoun, drawing more than 2 million users a year. That popularity is evident in the Loudoun Now readers’ poll. The linear park was voted their favorite place to ride their bikes and to walk their dogs. Helping to protect and improve the park is a team of dedicated volunteers. Friends of the Washington and Old Dominion Trail was formed in 1991 and became a formal advisory board to the parks authority in 1997. The group meets monthly and conducts improvement projects, such as trailside gardens, and operates the Trail Patrol that helps promote the safe use of the trail, provides information to the public and assists trail users when needed.

inson, opened it in late 2011. Shortly after moving to Leesburg from Hawaii, the couple was walking along Loudoun Street when they noticed a “for lease” sign in the window. “I peeked in and thought, wouldn’t that be quite the spot for a used bookstore?” Robinson said. The couple didn’t have a lot of money, but they had a lot of books, he added. The quaint shop’s walls are lined with books from floor to ceiling, and include a large collection of sci-fi and children’s books, as well as hard-tofind books. “Some stores put older books under glass, but I like to have people touch and experience them,” Robinson said. His favorite part of owning the shop is knowing that it is a sought-after destination of a lot of children. “I love that this is where they want to stop when they come downtown … and I love hearing parents read to their children.” The shop also has a local authors’ shelf and sells games, puzzles and artwork. Cozy chairs welcome customers to sit and read. The couple said operating the only independent bookstore in the Leesburg area has been rewarding. It offers a more intimate setting than the big-box bookstores, and much of that personal touch comes from the Robinsons’ passion for books. “We love welcoming people who love books,” Robinson said. “They find it comforting.” —Danielle Nadler

CYCLELUV is appropriately named...I've visited spin studios in multiple states and even on the high seas. I LUV this place...the others not so much. Whether you're looking for a place to fly solo during indoor workouts or join a group of like mind individuals for outdoor rides as part of Team CYCLELUV you will find a home here. The staff is awesome, friendly and VERY knowledgeable about safe indoor cycling techniques (none of that dancing in the stirrups and bouncing off the saddle that looks like a dude ranch experience gone bad that you get at some of those other places). Give it a go...you won't be disappointed! -Doug R
COME JOIN THE BEST FITNESS PROGRAM IN LOUDOUN COUNTY AND SEE HOW MUCH FUN WORKING OUT CAN TRULY BE!
I consider CycleLuv my second home! I started last year and because of the wonderful instructors, great music and fun atmosphere I was able to stay committed and lost pounds!workout This is a place wherefitness the instructors are here to inspire you while proA great, no 50 impact for ALL levels. viding safe training techniques. "RESPECT THE BIKE, LUV THE RIDE!" -Ramona R
LOUDOUN’S 2017 FAVORITES
At the suggestion of a couple other friends, I took advantage of the free class offered the first weekend that CycleLuv opened.... two years ago! A small, dynamic studio, with equally dynamic instructors, I am a regular. I've attended as many as six days a week....you could say I'm addicted! The studio's owner, Iris, is intensely motivating, and all of her instructors follow suit. More importantly, one feels like a member of a fitness family. Encouragement is as close as the bike on your left or on your right. I have never participated in an organized outdoor ride, and yet I'm considering my first road bike AND participation in the MS Century ride this spring. Now, it's out there! Love CycleLuv!! -Barbara S
July 14 – 20, 2016 July 27, 2017
Cycleluv saved my life. After having triplets last year and a full knee replacement in May I never thought I would ever get back into shape again especially at the age of 41, that was until I found Cycleluv and Iris the owner. I've never felt better, my husbands says I've never looked better and you won't find a better place to workout and have fun with some of the craziest people in Virginia. It's more than a cycling gym, it's a cycling family. #iamcycleluv -Allison M
No contracts, joining fees or upsells!
I joined this studio a few months ago and it is one of the best decisions I've ever made. The staff, led by Iris, are extremely professional but not rigid or intimidating--it is one of the most welcoming gyms I've encountered. The workouts are challenging and never boring. What I appreciate the most about CycleLuv, is it is always about the ride--no theatrics or dancing in the saddle. I look forward to each class, and always feel great when I leave. Highly recommended. -Royce G
THANK YOU
LOUDOUN COUNTY FOR VOTING US YOUR FAVORITE FITNESS STUDIO...
I recently moved to Virginia and a friend invited me to join her for a free class. I never thought I’d like cycling, but Owner/instructor Iris and her infectious enthusiasm and awesome taste in music got me hooked. All of her instructors are encouraging, class is always fun, and I burn more than 600 calories in a class! I’m so glad I found Cycleluv-- it’s the best gym/exercise class ever! -Aileen H
AGAIN!
Love Cycle Luv! I was invited to take a class by a friend, and after the first class I knew I would be coming back for more. Iris is a great instructor and makes class so much fun! She inspires all who attend classes, and is always making sure the beginners know to take the class at their own level. You really get so much more out of the classes here at Cycle Luv then at a larger gym. If you’re more advanced, there’s a class for everyone. Come on out Sign upa beginner now atorwww.CycleLuv.com and give it a try! You’ll get hooked for sure. I spin 3-4 times a week and I’m seeing results and feeling great. -Lulu M LoudounNow

Best Indoor SPIN studio I’ve found, plus its great preparation for outdoor biking too.

Favorite BUSINESSES Favorite Place for Kids Leesburg Animal Park 19270 James Monroe Hwy leesburganimalpark.com
Located just south of Leesburg, farm and exotic animals alike can be found in a sprawling property alongside Rt. 15 that has established itself as a family favorite in Loudoun County. Leesburg Animal Park, owned by Robert and Shirley Johnson, is a step above the every man’s zoo, featuring interactive and hands-on animal exhibits, including the opportunity to pet and feed animals, enjoy a pony or camel ride, and take in live animal shows. Activities even extend beyond the animals themselves, with wagon rides around the property, playgrounds, and bounce houses to entertain even the most high-energy child. The property currently houses about 100 animals. Annual events include the popular fishing derby in the catch-and-release pond, the Pumpkin Village fall fest, and the Christmas Village. The animal park has established itself as a popular destination for birthday parties and field trips, and even takes its show on the road in its Zoo-To-You program. The park is open year round, six days a week, closing only on non-holiday Mondays and other special holidays. Some outdoor exhibits may be closed during the winter months. The Johnsons have owned the prop-

erty since 2004, four years after they initially were asked by the former operators of Pumpkinville to set up some temporary animal exhibits. Prior to setting up shop in Leesburg, the Johnsons had leased space at the Reston Zoo for almost 20 years. While the animal park has grown in its 13 years, more growth
is planned, Shirley Johnson said. The duo just finished a master plan for the property which, in the near future, includes putting in an enclosed barn for visitors to interact with the animals in a more comfortable space. On the honor of being named Loudoun’s Favorite Place for Kids,
Shirley Johnson said it is validation for the great work performed by their staff. “It’s nice to feel appreciated,” she said, “and that people recognize what you’re doing is a good thing and that you’re doing it well.” —Kara C. Rodriguez

Saturday nights and relaxing with my friends,” said Clyde’s employee Melene Tolson. “One of my favorite parts about Clyde’s is the patio.” What makes the restaurant particularly unique is its physical history and size. Clyde’s is made up of four antique buildings from Vermont, which were all built in the 18th and 19th centuries. According to Clyde’s Manager Lee Beddow, it was about 20 years ago when the owners of Clyde’s purchased the buildings, had them restored, decon-
structed and put into storage. When the site for the Ashburn location was chosen more than a decade ago, the buildings were reconstructed. Aside from outdoor seating at the restaurant, there are also seven indoor dining rooms and four bars. Beddow says the staff at Clyde’s is focused equally on the quality of service as it is on the quality of food and drinks. “Our guests’ happiness is our first priority,” he said. —Patrick Szabo

LOUDOUN’S 2017 FAVORITES
From learning how to play tennis in the panhandle of Texas to coaching professional tennis players, local tennis instructor Mark Elliott has been a heavy hitter in the tennis community for decades. Elliott, 54, has been playing tennis since he was 12. Now with more than 30 years of coaching experience, he holds the title of head pro at the Ida Lee Tennis Center in Leesburg. Elliott’s tennis career began in his native Texas, after his mom steered him toward tennis to keep him away from football. It was just a few years after beginning to play that he decided to coach. “When I was 16 years old, I pretty much knew exactly what I wanted to do,” he said. “It’s really something that I’ve always kind of done.” After graduating college, Elliott went on to play in the International Tennis Federation’s Pro Circuit. When he had breaks and travelled home, he continued to coach. Some of Elliott’s most notable accomplishments include being named the NCCAA National Coach of the Year from 2005 to 2007, running the Mark Elliott Tennis Academy in South Caro-
