    The Corner George Inn is truly one of the loveliest B&Bs you'll ever find. David and Marcia create an experience that extends far beyond the typical bed and breakfast. This is a very small town, but there are so many cute places to visit and shop. We loved the General Store (check out the Shaker boxes!), Coffee Shop and Historical Museum. David helped us plan our day with trips to French Forts and hiking trails. Our rooms were very comfortable and the dining room makes you feel like you are visiting in the grandest of style! We will definitely be back!

    My husband and I recently were able to get away for 2 nights and stayed at this lovely B&B. The owners and people in this town make it a class act and a place we will return.

    My husband and I stayed at the Corner George Inn for our 24th Anniversary weekend. We fell in love with the Inn and Maeystown. We will definitely go back again. David & Marcia exceeded all of our expectations of staying in a bed and breakfast (our first B&B stay). There was another couple there the first night, but the other two nights we had the Inn to ourselves. We felt so at home during our stay and never left the breakfast table hungry. Breakfast was amazing each morning! Late afternoon snack with homemade breads and spiced tea hit the spot and were so appreciated. I kept forgetting that we were guests and kept offering to help clear the dishes or help with coffee in the morning. We can't say enough nice things about the Corner George Inn. The decor is completely Victorian and they did a wonderful job restoring the building. They were also very knowledgeable about the area and we had quite a few adventures at their suggestion. David took us to the coffee shop across the street and to the antique store. Later he gave a tour at the Mayestown Museum. We loved shopping at the general store attached to the Inn and I think of the Inn each time I burn the candles I purchased there. Mayestown and the Corner George Inn are going to be our home away from home! Thanks for making us feel so welcome the whole time!
