I wish I could give the Mayhurst Inn more than five stars! The house, and especially our hosts, were absolutely magnificent! My husband and I stayed in the very comfortable "Madison" room that accommodated a comfortable king size bed and had a gas fireplace to add some ambiance. Our hosts could not to enough to make us feel welcomed and comfortable.
We stayed Valentine's Weekend, and ended up getting snowed and iced in on the Saturday we visited. Our host and hostess were proactive in finding out if any area restaurants were going to be one that day. When finding out all were closed due to the weather, they offered us lunch and dinner, along with fine bottles of Virginia wines, at a very reasonable cost. We spent the day in forced relaxation in front of the communal room's fire enjoying the company of the other guests. The lunch and dinner were both wonderful! We were able to get out on Sunday to enjoy the local wineries and antique stores we had planned to visit.
If you want to stay in a well maintained and appointed historical home with the best innkeepers in the world as your hosts, then Mayhurst Estates is your place!

For our 5th anniversary, we chose Mayhust Inn because it was the perfect place to celebrate in a grand style while staying local.

Mayhust is an 1859 manor full of southern charm and antique luxuries. By accident, we stayed in a different room each night, the Italian Suite and Southern Charm. But it was one of our favorite things! We had so much fun experiencing both rooms, each perfectly decorated to transport you to a different era. Southern Charm gets the spotlight for the best views – the room has beautiful palladium windows overlooking the pond and front yard. The Italian Suite wins the award for the largest room since it's actually two rooms. The adjacent sitting/soaking room has a gas fireplace that sits in front of a large black granite whirlpool tub AND a private balcony.

Although the room's decor, the house architecture, and the darling grounds were enough to make this trip unforgettable, it was our hosts, Jason and Casey, that made this trip truly exceptional. From the homemade breakfast to the local recommendations and desire to accommodate our schedule, they made us feel like the aristocracy that likely frequented the house. The whole stay was southern hospitality at its best.

Eric and I highly recommend this precious inn to anyone looking for excellent service, delightful breakfast, and plenty of places to explore/ take pictures – did I mention that it's only 20 min from Barboursville, Keswick, and many other wineries?

The Mayhurst Inn was wonderful and exquisite. The owner and his family were warm and welcoming. The Inn is beautiful and we stayed in the Southern Charm room with a large king bed, a large hot tub, and lots of room with a great view of the pond. The breakfast was very enjoyable and was French Toast and Bacon with fruit. We also had a charcuterie tray for the evening that was outstanding. I highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast for any event. Did I also say they have goats which are fun and cuddly. Well done to the owners. Thank you!

This was a delightful stay in the early months after new owners Casey and Jason had taken over running the Mayhurst Inn. The room was beautiful and well appointed. We appreciated their welcome and the extent to which they accommodated our requests (dining al fresco, for example, with dinner which was delivered by a local restaurant), and the enthusiasm with which they have undertaken the task of reinterpreting southern hospitality so that it is a more welcoming place to all people.

Beyond the beautiful setting, historical building and perfectly appointed rooms, this place is like taking a trip back to a kinder, simpler time. Not because it is “rustic” in any way, in fact it is quite luxurious. But because of the Cashell family and how their vision becomes your reality for the time you are there. An inviting warmth is evident everywhere. From the homey yet elegant house, to the back porch and patio area, the walking paths, the other buildings they are all renovating as a family, this place is like going back to the childhood home you always wanted. We stayed in the Southern Charm room which was even prettier than the pictures with lots of sunshine coming through all the windows. A huge tub/shower, soft sheets and towels so nice I ordered some for myself. The bed was firmer than our taste but many may like this. A delicious hearty breakfast was served each morning that rivaled many restaurants. We found out Jason Cashell used to own a restaurant and it showed. This place is the passion of the family and it was so cute to watch their young boys taking on their share of maintaining this beautiful place and they weren’t shy about telling us about their roles, especially with the precious goats. What a refreshing family to be around with traditional, kind, hard working values.
If you need to get away from the craziness that surrounds us these days, this is your respite. It was easy to get to and hard to leave.

It was such a wonderful trip and stay at the Mayhurst Inn. The place is quaint, old world and the main building beautiful inside and out. The grounds and the pond with the ducks look wonderful in the light morning fog.
Overall, it is a boutique hotel with the hosts making everyone feel great.
The home made breakfast is also something to look forward too, being served in the old style dining room with magnificent fireplace and authentic chandelier.
The only thing we regret is that we didn't stay long enough, we will be back.

My fiancé and I stayed at the Mayhurst last weekend for one night and had the time of our lives. We stayed in the most luxurious, beautifully designed room (Italian Room/Architecture Suite) with a fireplace, jacuzzi tub, balcony, and cozy bed. The Inn was picturesque, I kept taking photos because I could not believe how pretty it was inside and out.

Now, for the even more amazing part - the hosts! The family makes you feel SO WELCOME. We chatted with Casey about the Inn, life, the surrounding area - you name it. We spent a morning with their daughter learning how to milk a goat, fed a baby goat, and played in the yard with the other 20+ goats.

We are already planning a trip back in 2022 because we loved it so much.

Orange, VA has lots to offer as well. We had 2 fine dining meals (Palladio and Vintage) and stopped at a few antique stores. Highly recommend!

Set on a quiet hillside, Mayhurst is a tranquil oasis where one can enjoy nature walks, a hearty breakfast and the incredibly warm and kind hospitality of Casey and Jason. We absolutely loved our stay in the farmhouse cottage which was well equipped with a small kitchen. A perfect spot to enjoy the warmth and soft light emanating from the fireplace along with a book and a glass of Virginia wine. The location of the property provided for convenient access to a number of local attractions including James Madison’s Montpelier, antique shops, numerous wineries and local breweries. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

My wife and I stayed two nights in April 2022 while on the Virginia Garden Tour and visiting Montpelier. The owners and hosts are Jason and Casey. We didn't see a lot of Jason, who was busy with renovations on the summer kitchen, but Casey was a charming and ebullient hostess who greeted us, gave us a short tour and showed us our room, and gave a brief history of the property and how they came to be there as a family.

We stayed in the Italian Suite, which is a large, quiet and comfortable room with a separate room containing a nice fireplace and whirlpool tub and with an entrance onto a covered veranda. Breakfasts are superb and were served by Casey with a smile and bright conversation. As a bonus, all of the other guests we visited with at breakfast were super to talk with and it was fun to get to know a bit about them and their travels and compare notes.

The Inn is set off Route 15 down a gravel lane and feels quite secluded, with lovely grounds. The house is a very nice example of the architecture of the time, and well maintained. The location is convenient to Montpelier and would not be that far if visiting Charlottesville or the Spotysvlania/Chancellorsville battlefields.

If in this area, stay here! You will not be disappointed.

This was the first time my wife and I have ever stayed at a bed and breakfast so we went into it not knowing what to expect. However, after arriving, we knew we had made the right choice! This place was so beautiful and amazing inside and out! The owners were super friendly and made us feel like we were right at home. The room we stayed in was the Italian Suite and it was very spacious and beyond our expectations! There was also a jacuzzi in the bathroom that I didn’t even know was included when I made the reservation. The history behind the Mayhurst is very interesting and it was so fun to become a part of this amazing experience. The breakfast that we had was very tasty and included French toast, berries in cream, and savory bacon. The coffee was also a treat! Around 10pm during our stay, my wife and I asked the owners if it was possible to get some water and a late night snack and they sent up some water and a plate of cheese, crackers, strawberries and chocolate. The morning of our departure, it started snowing outside and the place became even more magical! Casey, one of the owners, went outside with us and took our picture in front of the beautiful snow-covered house! When we left the Mayhurst, we were actually sad to go. The house was so warm and cozy inside and full of rich American history. I felt like I had gone back to when times were simpler and more peaceful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get away from the crazy, stressful city life or for those who enjoy experiencing the historical aspect and want to “go back in time” and relive the days of old when life was different in America. Included on the property are a pond with a canoe that you can use, a bonfire pit that the owners will light for you when requested, a lighted gazebo, a barn with goats, some trails you can explore, a swing, several benches overlooking scenic spots, and much more! They are also making several new flower gardens! The owners and their kids are very friendly and treat their guests like they are part of the family. This place gets a 10/10 from us!! We can’t wait to go back again!!!
