My bride and I spent several wonderful days courtesy of Dean and Jean Marie! We both loved the Victorian decor, and friendliness of the innkeepers. The room was immaculate, and the breakfasts (especially Dean's coffee), were superb! Even their poodle, Noelle, made us feel at home. Thanks again, for making our honeymoon special!

My husband & I stayed at the MV Inn for our first anniversary after seeing a show at the Infinity Music Hall. Our stay was perfect - from the ambiance of the room to the delightful breakfast in the morning. The house is just as pictured in photos - positively beautiful - museum quality yet comfortable and inviting. We will definitely be staying there again - happy to be quests of the very gracious Dean & Jean Marie. ~ Lauren & Shem

Thank You Dean for helping us out at the last minute! My husband and I arrived on a Saturday with our son and couldn't wait to check in...problem was our check in day was Sunday, ugh! But thanks to Dean we not only got to stay the night but we had the Guest house all to ourselves. It was perfect! Our son loved having his own room and we were so lucky that Dean could make it happen. Breakfast the next morning was delicious and hit the spot. If we didn't have a wedding to get to we would have loved to have stayed and enjoyed all the Mountain View Inn has to offer. Beautiful property, terrific owners, worth a stop and stay when in Norfolk.
