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!
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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
