Mayneview B&B

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mayneview after our day in the Caverns and dinner at Circa 31! Will be back!

Always good been going there for 7 years

We only stayed one night but wished we could have stayed longer at this professionally run B and B. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a nice view over the town of Luray and Shenandoah National Park in the distance. The owner, Paul, was very helpful in telling us about local restaurants and hikes in the park. Would definitely recommend staying here if in this beautiful part of Virginia.

Mayneview was the perfect spot for our family Spring Break. We all felt comfortable from the moment we arrived, breakfast was great, and the hot tub was just what we needed following a day of hiking. I would stay there again and have already recommended it to friends.

Had a lovely stay on our visit to Luray to see Caverns in February. Opted for this B&B over local/less expensive hotels--and glad that we did. Our family of three stayed cozy and comfortable in the Huguenot Suite. Truly enjoyed speaking with Sally and Paul about the history of the place, Great view of town from porch, bet it is even better in the spring, summer and fall. Delicious homemade FULL breakfast. Will definitely return.

Great stay. Everything from the room to the home cooked breakfast to the hosts was fantastic. Pet friendly and kid friendly to the smallest detail. Would stay there again.

My husband and I spent a night at Mayneview before touring the caverns in January. We enjoyed our stay very much! Logistically, it was efficient and easy to make and confirm a reservation. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Paul was very friendly and we enjoyed meeting him. Unfortunately we had to leave before breakfast so we didn't get to meet Shelley but if we are in the Luray area again, we will be returning!

We went in the off season mid week. We enjoyed the peace and quite. We rented the Huguenot Suite. When we arrived, Sally showed us around the house and our unit; then left us to enjoy our stay. The windows are small in the renovated attic, but the view across the valley is wonderful. The service was above par.

My husband and me stayed just one night here, Paul welcomed us even if we arrived there at late evening. the house was clean and charming. The bathroom was private but it wasn't attached at the room. The breakfast was very delicious and I could see all the little things the owner family's touches to take care of the guests around the house. I recommend this B&B.

Three things sum up the experience: a)quaint old-world decor, b)great breakfast, and c)friendly hosts, all at a good value. I just wished that the rooms were bigger, and that we stayed for longer.

My boyfriend and I spent two nights in the Huguenot Knight Suite. It's spacious, private, and very cozy. Sally and Paul are really nice people. They'll give suggestions on things to do and places to eat. They even called to see if hiking trails were open. They provide a good breakfast and are accommodating to dietary needs/preferences. I would definitely recommend this B&B.

I was impressed with this bed and breakfast. The rooms were very pleasant and stocked with fun snacks; there are also movies and books available. The rooms have televisions but maintain an old timey feel. Also, I made a special request for soy milk and breakfast options with no eggs which they not only accomodated but went above & beyond by making a delicious banana/soy french toast. The only down side, in my opinion, is that the view is of a lot of buildings and I would prefer to overlook mountains/nature rather than a small town. But there are certainly mountains in the background and it is very conveniently located for local restaurants, a walmart run, and access to Skyline Drive.

Enjoyed meeting Paul and Sally. They were wonderful hosts. Paul showed us around when we first got there and then we were given the freedom to come and go as we liked. Very much like home. We loved Molly! She was a wonderful host at the end. The breakfast was to die for! We would highly recommend Mayneview B &B.

We stayed in the upstairs suite, it was a converted attic so it was a little stuffy.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
To be clear, the suite these guests stayed in was converted from an apartment rather than an attic and, after having over 100 guests stay in the suite this year, this is the first report of it being at all "stuffy". Actually, it's very open and airy (see photos on website).

The Mayneview B&B was wonderful! It's walking distance to the heart of downtown Luray and the Greenway, but is also far enough off the main drag that it feels very peaceful and quiet. The view from the porch and backyard was beautiful -- nothing better than starting the morning with a nice cup of coffee on the deck and a view of the mountains in the distance. Very close to Skyline Drive, the caverns, and super-easy access too all the highways. The breakfast was delicious and Paul was a great host -- knowledgeable about local wineries and even tipped us off to some good discounts on the attractions. The Mayneview is a GREAT bargain.

Made a reservation for myself and another. We checked in and the innskeeper met us as we parked. He showed us around the property, explained everything, asked when we wanted breakfast the next morning and left us to ourselves. The room was nice and relaxing. The bed was very comfortable. I like the fact that we were able to come and go and still felt welcome each time. The morning after, we packed our bags and went down for breakfast. We were served some fruit with some milk and then the main meal was eggs, bacon and hashbrowns. Very tasty. At the end, we received a waffle. I wasn't expecting the waffles, but they were nice, although I didn't eat them because I was full. I would definitely recommend this place for others to stay and would gladly stay again if I were in the area.

Great stay with a gorgeous view of the mountains, ESP from the hot tub! Inn keepers were extremely friendly and very knowable about the area!

Paul was a great host. He was helpful with finding things do and where to go. He was also very attentive with making sure we had everything we needed and that everything was to our liking. We would consider this a returnable type of place. Enjoy!

Our weekend at the Mayneview was a truly relaxing weekend. With a hot tub overlooking town, dining options a five-minute walk away, and a sunrise view of Shenandoah National Park it could not have a more perfect setting. For Paul and Sally to be so welcoming and such wonderful cooks too, I would highly recommend the Mayneview when going to Luray.

We spent the weekend hiking in Shenandoah and stayed at this lovely B&B in Luray. Paul was very friendly and helpful, the room was very nice and had some sparkling cider waiting for us. Also the breakfast was quite good.

Innkeeper's were outstanding and were very knowledgeable about the area.

My fiance and I stayed here on a Saturday night after hiking a strenuous 9.3 miles in Shenandoah National Park. We loved the hot tub after our hike, and also enjoyed the beautiful front porch and the very friendly house cat. The B&B is within walking distance of downtown Luray (we had dinner at the Mimslyn Inn, a 2 block walk). The breakfast food was up to par. Not the best breakfast we've ever had at a B&B, but certainly a very tasty one with plenty of variety. Overall a wonderful experience at very reasonable price!

Our host, Jon , was very accomodating and made our stay very enjoyable- he is a wonderful cook!

The best B&B on our 2-week-trip. We stayed for two nights in this amazing B&B. The house is for the guests only, the owners live next door. Rooms are equipped with old-southern-style furniture. Everything is clean. The breakfast is fresh and tastes great. The owners are very friendly and help you with everything you need. E.g. they booked a Kanu-Trip for us.

The room was supreme. Our own coffee maker! Every detail thought of and the room was so quiet. I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. Breakfast delicious.

Paul was a fantastic host who took the time to introduce us to everything at Mayneview and in Luray upon our arrival. Our room was lovely, comfortable and quiet -- we could've slept there for days! They ensured that our breakfast conformed with our dietary restrictions (and even had veg sausage). Relaxing in a rocking chair on the porch and a dip in the hot tub on the deck with a view of the town and mountains are perfect ways to spend the evening.

We stayed at the Greentree Inn to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and had a really wonderful time. The inn was unique and the room was very comfortable, the town was charming, and Jon couldn't have been a more welcoming host. He fixed a delicious breakfast each morning, gave us suggestions for restaurants and was overall very accomodating. Highly recommend the Greentree Inn!

Our stay was just one night, but we liked it very much. There rooms are very nicely done in victorian style. If you are looking for a supreme comfort, I would request staying in a hotel. The atmosphere was very family like and the breakfast was freshly made by the owner, who asked for special requests as well. Very good, family B&B.

Friendly, welcoming owners, adorable cats and a historic home that is a real treat. On a quiet street but just a short drive to LurayCaverns and some great local restaurants.. Good value, a fine b'fast and true southern hospitality.

There was an atmosphere of warmth and respect at Mayneview. We were put at ease and given the freedom of feeling as if we were in our own home. Emma

We were going to stay here for one night, but arrived a little late. There was no problem getting a room for a second night, the guy was very helpful. Rooms were beautiful. Only drawback is that bottom floor isn't really air conditioned, so in the middle of a heatwave, you might want to just stay in the room! Breakfast was just right, light and tasty. Oh! Place has cats. I'm mildly allergic and wish I had known, but all worked out well!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We thank these guests for their remarks as it's always nice to have a positive response to our inn and the services we provide. We actually do have AC in our downstairs but it's not really up to dealing effectively with record breaking 100 degree heat. Also, we disclose on the homepage of our website that we have a cat on the premises in the event there are those who have allergies or who have an aversion to cats. Again, we're grateful for the nice review.

The innkeepers were wonderful at the Greentree, but I am not sure I would stay there again. They tried to put us in a different room upon arrival than the one we requested; the air conditioning had not even been turned on in the room we had requested and booked online. Once cooled off it was a lovely room, but there were no tissues, no coffee stirrers for the coffee machine in the room, and the bedspread itself was very dirty, although the rest of the room was pretty clean. On our last day there we discovered another guest had stolen our bottle of wine from the refrigerator in the dining room; you could say we should not have kept it there, but we have never encountered this sort of problem anywhere else. It turned out the innkeepers rented the room to some guests they shouldn't have; I felt like we had to bear some of the cost for that. On the other hand, the breakfasts were amazing (almost too much!), and the innkeepers were the nicest people. The value is great, but I am not sure I would stay again; the vote is still out.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We'd like to thank these guests for their review and for expressing their concerns about their stay as we're always trying to improve the accommodations in our inn. Actually, we didn't really "try" to put them into a different room than the one they requested. There was a simply a mistake made in checking them into the wrong room. After checking with the property manager, I was assured that, while the bed spread could have had some minor stains, it was not dirty and that all ameneties in the rooms will be provided. The manager has since washed all of the bedding for all of the rooms, as this is our practice to wash all non-linen bedding (spread, balnkets, mattress cover) once per month and linens, of course, after every stay. We appreciate the kind remarks about the hospitality and the breakfasts.

The mountain views from the large open space garden were wonderful, the accommodation was very comfortable with great hospitality together with the very good American breakfast enjoyable stay.

All the details are taken care of, from relaxation to entertainment to dining. A comfortable home away from home.

The Mayneview met or exceeded my expectations in every way. There is a lovely view from the house and we walked into town several times where there are some good dining options. Easy access to Skyline Drive is a plus.

My husband and I spent a night at the Green Tree Inn recently. Mayneview and Green Tree are two of a handful of b&bs in the area that allow a single night reservation. I didn’t love the look of the rooms online, but this was all very last minute, so we went for it. I’ll start with the positives: the house itself is beautiful. It’s in a quiet neighborhood, quite close to downtown Luray. Our room (Poplar) had a lovely, high ceiling and plenty of natural light. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great – plenty of hot water, nice pressure. We enjoyed the snacks left out for us, and we watched one of the DVDs available downstairs. Overall, our stay was very comfortable. The negatives all come down to frump. Our room was much worse than expected, hideously decorated with dusty plastic flowers, ceramic tea pots, and odd piles of antique-y junk. There were two huge stacks of random magazines from 2009 and 2010. The bathroom linens were a mismatched variety of drab, dingy greens. The toilet lid had a shag cover like I haven’t seen since the mid-90’s. There are more doilies in the house than a person could count. Sort of a hoarder-grandmother aesthetic all-around. It’s a shame, because the house is lovely, and some of the furniture is, too. With the right décor, this place could be great. Breakfast was okay. The coffee was fantastic. I wish there had been some fresh fruit. We didn’t mind walking up to the Mayneview at all. Our hosts were friendly.

The issues these guests raise regarding the small details in the guest rooms have already been addressed as part of the transfer procees to a property manager who has taken careful steps to see that all of the rooms are attractive and free of clutter. We hope these issues did not compromise their overall experience during their stay in the inn and we thank them for their feedback.

Everything was quite nice, and perfect location for visiting Shenandoah NP.

My stay at Mayneview was amazing. The home was beautiful, my room was so spacious, and the amenities were amazing, especially for the price! I looked at several other B&B's in Luray and this had one of the best price options and is right in town situated on top of a hill with a beautiful view. They have an awesome hot tub on a deck overlooking Main Street (Main View!). I also loves the mini fridge stocked with complimentary water downstairs and another empty mini fridge upstairs for guests to use. Such a great perk! The breakfast was delicious too! I highly recommend Mayneview!!!

We were there to celebrat our 51 wedding annervisty, We loved the peace and guiet of there place.

I had a quiet 24 hours of relaxation at the Greentree. Loved the deck, hot tub!

We stayed at the Mayneview Bed and Breakfast for my boyfriend’s birthday weekend (May 5th and 6th). We were greeted by Paul who gave us a complete tour of the bed and breakfast and informed us of the better restaurants in the area. They have a section in the living room with plenty of menus and brochures for the area. The entire bed and breakfast was spotless and smelled of fresh french toast. It was decked out in antique furniture and was beautifully decorated. We stayed in the Merlin Room, which the perfect size for the both of us with adequate closet and drawer space. The bed was very comfortable, complete with a pillow top mattress. On our floor, there was a microwave and a mini refrigerator to store our left overs. Plenty of snacks including trail mix and chips, along with sodas and water, were always available to us. The hot tub was very clean and relaxing overlooking the mountains. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious with a variety sure to please anyone. Sally and Paul really made us feel like we were at home. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, we defiantly will be back!

My cousin and I enjoyed our two-night stay at the Mayneview during the peak of spring blooming. The inn was beautiful, comfortable and the view overlooking Luray was very enjoyable. Miss Molly, the feline hostess, and her parents made our stay delightful. :-) Oh, and the breakfasts were excellent!

My husband and I stayed at Mayneview for the first night of our honeymoon and it was fantastic! The view from the B&B is amazing! The room's were clean and comfortable! The house has a wonderful personality all it's own! The owners were very friendly and accommodated my dietary restrictions with ease!

Mayneview is great! We were very satisfied with our stay. The rooms were clean. The breakfast was wonderful. The overall feel of Mayneview was warm and welcoming.

Overall it was a nice place to stay. Bed was a little uncomfortable and the hot water in the shower didn't last long. Nice place to stay for a night or 2 max. Host were very friendly and helpful with fun things to do in the area.

My fiance and I spent 1 night in the Morgana room Mayneview. Lovely house, well taken care of, comfy bed, wood stove, and even a claw foot tub in our room! We got to spend a cool February night soaking in the hot tub that overlooks the town of Luray and had a delicious home-cooked breakfast in the morning. The house shared the same cozy feel as the town of Luray and we were just a couple miles from the Caverns, a Zoo, and plenty of places to eat. A very nice getaway!

The house itself is historic and very nice, the room was nice and clean, the bed was comfortable (we stayed in the Penn Dragon). The hot tub on the deck outside was a major plus - a very relaxing way to spend the evening after a long day of hiking. We found Paul to be a gracious and helpful host. Would definitely come back!

This was my first experience at a Bed & Breakfast. Sally and Paul were wonderful hosts and Sally is an excellent chef. They were both very helpful in sharing their knowledge of the house's history and the surrounding area as well. My wife and I would recommend the Mayneview B&B to our family and friends. In fact, I have already begun.

Benny and I ran away to Luray to get married and we stayed at the Mayneview in the Merlin room. Everything was perfect and the view looking over the town was gorgeous from the porch of the B & B. The food was excellent and the innkeepers were very accomidating and thoughtful. We will stay there again in the future. And Molly, the B&B cat was so very sweet. Thank you.

The Mayneview is gorgeous, clean, affordable, and everything we were looking for in a weekend away. It's close to great dining in Luray, and the breakfast served by Sally was delish. If you get a chance, try out the hot tub, too. It overlooks the city and made for a perfect Saturday night.

We had a great stay. Rooms were clean, quiet and spacious. We stayed here as we explored the mountains for two days and given our early schedule they were very accommodating and we were still able to have breakfast in the morning. Wish we had gotten a chance to try the hot tub. Guess we'll just have to go back!

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly were given a tour. Everything was perfect!

Perfect visit from beginning to end. Great hosts, clean comfortable room, exceptional food. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

This was a great little place. We stayed at the non-main house location (the Greenview) which seemed to have more privacy. It's close to downtown and located on a quiet street. This would be great with a larger group as you could rent the whole house (3 rooms) yourself.

This old Victorian home has lots of charm. Bedroom was small, but sufficient and there are several that are assigned hall bathrooms (so they are considered private). Hot tub available. Home could've been cleaner. Breakfast was decent, but nothing special. Price was affordable.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We'd like to thank this guest for his/her feedback but the information this guest provided regarding bathrooms is not correct. ALL of our bathrooms are private (not "considered private"). For our five guest rooms, three of the private bathrooms are in the suite and the other two are in the hall a short distance from the room. I'm not sure what the cleanliness issue was as we thoroughly vacuum and dust our rooms be before guests check in.

My fiance and I stayed here for a weekend get away. The stay was amazing, pleasant and completely more then we had hoped for. We will be coming back to stay for sure. The house cat was super friendly and was eager to help you feel welcome. We were delighted in the breakfast each day, and it had perhaps the best view of the mountains and the town of Luray.

Breakfast was great both days. The innkeepers were very helpful. We were able to make ourselves at home and enjoy our stay!

The room was ok and the service was good, but I was disappointed at how dusty/dirty the room was and that the shower was constantly dripping through the night. The breakfast was outstanding though.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We are aware of the dripping shower issue. We'll have new showers installed before the Greentree reopens in the Spring. As we generally vacuum and dust the rooms before guests arrive and get 3-4 star ratings in cleanliness , I'm dissapointed that these guests were not happy with the cleanliness of the room. We'll try to do a better job.

Owners were lovely and helpful. I very much enjoyed my stay.

The GreenTree Inn was fine. We enjoyed our stay but it wasn't "outstanding". It was in the midrange for B&B's.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Unfortunately, this type of review is neither helpful to us as innkeepers nor to prospective guests as it does not provide information that the innkeeper can use to improve accommodations/amenities nor does it provide guests with information they can use to make a decsion about making a reservation. As this review is not consistent with 90% of our positive reviews, it would be nice to hear specifics from these guests regarding their impressions so that we might address any issues.

Our stay at the Green Tree Inn in Luray, VA was very pleasant. Mr. Edwards met with us personally and gave us a tour of the property. I was very impresssed with the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Edwards were able and willing to accomodate my wife's vegan dietary restrictions. That alone will keep me coming back. Next time I look forward to staying at the Mayneview B&B.

My wife and I stayed at Mayneview after a night of camping in Shenandoah to celebrate our one year anniversary. Mayneview was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the fresh air with a great view of the mountains. There was even a fenced in yard for us to let our dog run around! Sally and Paul were more than accommodating and cooked up a fantastic breakfast! We'll definitely stay at Mayneview again!

Great place to stay! Paul was helpful with ideas of things to do in the area.

Our stay at the Mayneview was great. Paul was informative and very helpful. He directed us to local winery where we were given a personalized tour from the owners and bought three great bottles of wine. He also got us discounted tickets to The Luray Caverns.Sally's breakfasts were outstanding. The view from their front porch, where I watched the sunrise,showed me the true meaning of "purple mountain's majesty". I thank them for a very nice stay.

We had an amazing time, and everything was as we hoped and better. Nice location in a quiet part of town. The inn keepers and cook were very nice. The house feels very cozy, victorian styling. The ambiance made our weekend feel like an escape.

We stayed at the Greentree Inn during our week-long honeymoon road trip in Virginia. The Greentree is run by the same people as the Mayneview, but is about a block away. We had the house to ourselves, as it was not full that night. Paul made us feel very much at home and was a great innkeeper! Our room was very clean and included a private bath. It was cozy, but the arrangement of the furniture made it a little awkward to get in and out of bed on one side. We had breakfast at the main house, which included coffee cake, fruit, quiche and tea and coffee. My husband is a vegetarian and there was a vegetarian quiche available for him. The innkeepers are cat people, as are we, and we enjoyed meeting the many cats around the property. The Greentree also offers an outdoor hot tub. There were a few complimentary beverages and snacks in the main dining room as well. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

This is a lovely little place with a view of the surrounding mountains. Just a few blocks from downtown Luray and a mile or so from the caverns. Excited to return again in the Fall and try out the outdoor hot tub! Note, there is a cat in the house (although we didn't see it) if you have a very sensitive cat allergy.

Only got to stay one short night here in the Guinevere room. Was visited by Molly for a short time which I enjoyed. So sorry Sally-- had breakfast time confused and arrived early. Everything was ready--I just didn't have the chance to meet the other guests. Paul offered me discounted tickets to Luray Caverns and that's where I was headed. Thanks for a good and comfortable stay.

Paul met us at 10pm to let us in and answered all our questions. The AC felt great after a long day and they had great advice on places to visit! It was a full house, but still very quiet and meet great guest.

We were met by a very layed back couple who welcomed us and put us instantly at ease. We did not feel eyeballed as so often happens in B&B's, and instead felt an instant feeling of trust. It is a very old, very interesting house, kept up well, with nice amenities including the outside porch and deck with lovely views. It was too hot to use the hot tub, or else we would have enjoyed that as well. The breakfast was delicious and abundant. We especially enjoyed the animal friendly atmosphere, being animal lovers ourselves. This is not the lap of luxury, if that is what you are looking for, but if you are looking for Layed back, clean, hospitable and friendly, we highly recommend you try Mayneview.

I hadn’t stayed at a B&B after a horrible experience years ago, but my stay at Mayneview has given me a new love for B&Bs. Paul and Sally are great hosts. We were met by Sally upon our arrival and she gave us a tour and answered any questions we had to accommodate dinner plans. We met Paul the next morning, and he was friendly courteous and engaged us in conversation. The room was small but elegant. The Whole experience was fantastic and breakfast was more than I expected. I will definetly go back to Mayneview only next time we will plan ahead and hope to reserve one of the bigger rooms.

Took my wife up to the Luray area for a 1 night getaway. It was July 3, 2011. The rooms were comfortable and had plenty of room. We were able to sit out in the hot tub that evening and watch numerous firework displays down in the valley which was a big bonus. The breakfast the next morning was really good and they even went out of their way to make some gluten free food for my wife. This will definitely be on the list of places to go when we need to get away again.

my wife and i were looking for a vacation without a lot of hustle and bustle, so we needed a lodging that was more comfortable and inviting than a hotel room, a place where we would actually enjoy spending time. we found it at mayneview. the owners were pleasant and accommodating, the food was good, the house itself had a fascinating history, and with lots of comfortable places to spend time (including a hot tub) our first B&B was overwhelmingly positive. special thanks to molly the cat.

We stayed in the Greentree Inn which is a block down from Mayneview B&B. Beds were very comfortable memory foam mattresses. Lovely evening in the hot tub. Complementary drinks and snacks came in handy.

Anne was wonderful and very helpful with local information. The room needed to be dusted. It had a little too much furniture in it to move around easily. The food was wonderful. All in all it was a very nice stay.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
We'd like to thank this guest for his/her feedback particularly with regard to dust. We dust rooms regularly and I can only guess it was because we were away on a brief trip that the room may not have been thoroughly dusted. As for furniture and floor space, this is the 1st feedback of this kind we've received in 7 years as innkeepers. Perhaps a rollaway was placed in the room for extra occupancy taking up floor space. In any case, guests have access in advance of their visit to our website photos which accurately display furniture and floor space. If a rollaway is placed in the room, they are told there will be limited floor space.

The beautiful Victorian home lived up to the photos could have been featured in a victorian home magazine. The hostess was wonderful, and the breakfast was wonderful. The three course breakfast was excellent far better than most restaurants. The other guests were so nice and socialable. It was a nice romantic, quiet get away from the city.

We had an incredible stay at The Mayneview in Luray, VA. The home is within walking distance to downtown where there are many fine restaurants. You are only eight miles from Shenandoah National Park. The rooms are beautifully furnished, clean, and comfortable. Our hosts were helpful and friendly. Breakfasts were amazing, especially the Praline French Toast. We are planning another trip and stay at Mayneview in the fall.

This is a very quirky, fun place and was ideal for the hiking we wanted to do in the Shenandoah national park. The couple running the Mayneview are very friendly and happy to help. We were the only ones staying so it was nice to have a run of the house and take advantage of the dvd player. Breakfast was 'interesting' the first day but the waffles excellent the second day! An experience we wouldn't have missed.

As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by Molly, the friendlies cat ever, and then by Paul, our host, a minute later. In town we enjoyed walking the greenway. At Mayneview, especially liked an evening hot tubbing under a full moon with view of stars, mountains, and the town. Sally and Paul made a great, full breakfast with gluten-free option. We hope to come back.

We stayed at the Greentree Inn and had a wonderful vacation. The staff there did a great job of making us feel welcomed and accomodating our needs. I would definitely recommend this B&B!

We had a crear time. Place wad nice, cozy and our hosts were really friendly!

Paul made it a point to address any questions and was most accomodating. The area and home is very pleasant for your time away.

Paul was an excellent host, and everything at the Inn was as promised. If you're going to hike in the Park, Luray is a great place to stay, and the Greentree Inn is quiet, provides great food, and has cozy rooms.

The rooms were very nice and the bed was extremely comfortable. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards were very nice and prepared a home cooked breakfast every morning. No problems at all! Would definitely stay with the Edwards again. Very satisfied

The Mayneview B&B was the most relaxing one I have ever been to. Our hosts were very polite and helpful. The room was very cozy with a really nice fire. Hope to stay again.

Have not stayed in many B&B's, but they all pale in comparison to the stay at Mayneview. It's an interestingly decorated house with a pleasant ambiance; it's very clean and outfitted with all the comforts one could desire. The hosts Sally and Paul are very amiable and most accommodating. The highlight for me was relaxing after 5-hour drive from NJ in the outside hot tub with the view of the mountains and overlooking the town. All this for a winter rate of $100! If I ever revisit Luray, and there are plenty reasons to do so, I wouldn't even think of staying anywhere else but Mayneview.

While the breakfast was tasty, I was a bit put off that we had to go to a different location for breakfast. Ihad inquired about this and was told that breakfast would be at location we stayed. Also was really bothered that other guests brought their dog to breakfast without being sure how the dog was going to react to new people. Bathroom lacked shampoo and could have been a bit cleaner. Overall I liked the place but with other B & B's in Luray, I might try a different one next time. The hosts were very nice and accomodating. I liked having movies to watch in our room. The house was nicely decorated.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Although we appreciate this guests feedback, a review of our email correspondence with them reveals that we did not tell them that breakfast would be served at the Greentree where they were staying. Also, our website indicates that we are pet friendly so guests are aware that a dog might be on the premises. In this case, the dog was on a leash and posed no threat to any guests. We apologize for the lack of shampoo and any other issues with the bathroom. We always appreciate guest reviews such as this one as they enable us to address problems and improve our accommodations and ameneties.

This is a fantastic B+B within walking distance of Luray's quaint downtown - the rooms are spacious and beautiful and I would readily recommend this to you.

My significant other and I just wanted a night away from our crazy lives. Our bedroom was so comfortable and romantic. The hot tub was a wonderful addition to the stay as well. The house is in beautiful condition and the home is very well-kept, cozy, and appealing.

My wife and I had a wonderful two-night stay here. It is a cozy, quaint building that is well-decorated in traditional Virginia style. The breakfast is good, and hosts are exceptionally kind and helpful. It is located fairly close to (but not right in the heart of) the business district, which contains several good restaurants. It is a short drive from Skyline Drive, where you can access many of the key trails in the Shenandoah National Park. Overall, this is a great pick!

I wish I'd We selected Mayneview because the Morgana room has two twin beds, a private bath and great proximity to the Shenandoah National Park. We were also close enough for our very special dinner at Inn at Little Washington. The hot tub under the stars and snack/bottled water availability was a plus! I wish we'd known that Paul and Sally spoke Swedish as my daughter does too. The room was completely clean; even though there is a house cat my allergies did not act up. I do wish the shower curtain had been 4 inches wider so I didn't worry about getting water on the floor (a small thing). Would definitely stay at the Mayneview again. Paul and Sally provided a perfect balance of hospitality and privacy.

We would highly recommend this B&B, it was quiet and cozy! The room had a working stove/fireplace and it set the romantic mood quite nicely! The owners were very nice and informative of all the things to do and see while staying there. We stopped by the Wisteria Winery, we recommend that as well!

My wife and I stayed at the Mayneview to celebrate our anniversary. The Inn is an easy 90 minutes from D.C. Situated just two blocks from the center of town, the Mayneview is within easy walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Once caution, if you want to do some exploring on Sunday, this town does not wake-up until about 1 PM. Enough about Luray, back to the B&B. The hosts are nice people who provided excellent service and quality information, but also gave us the privacy and freedom that we were seeking. I am not sure if that makes sense, but frequent B&Ber's should understand. Our room, Merlin, was nicely appointed with a hodge-podge of comfy carpets and antique wooden furniture. The room came with a flat-panel TV and cable, but it was not the focus of the space. There was even a natural-gas converted cook stove in he corner, that provided nice ambiance (if little heat). The en-suite bathroom was convenient and the claw-footed bath tub was perfect. The house itself is loaded with comfortable places to sit and read, watch tv, or play games. Breakfast was good and plentiful. The French toast was perfect and the coffee was quite tasty. All in all, this B & B was top notch. It had a very family friendly and does allow some pets. If you are looking for a very high-end luxurious experience, this is not your place. But if you like comfort and congeniality, the Mayneview is a top pick in the Valley.

Nice place, would stay again. Sally and Paul are great hosts.

I liked this place and the owners, and would stay there again. Comfortable bed. Guests had free access to a parlor with lots of wonderful books and a living room with a broad selection of good movies. Guests also had access to an eclectic mix of music on CD's and wireless access for internet lovers. I liked sitting on the porch looking out over Luray and the mountains beyond. The house comes with a very sweet cat. The house is old and quirky with lots of character. If you a seeking the ambience of a modern hotel, this is not the place for you. I am an early riser and the 8:30 breakfast was a little late for me, but you can get coffee and there is some flexibility if you need to get out early. This rating system is skewed and unscientific, base on the expectations of strangers. I could pick all "met my expectations" and it would look bad at a glance.

We had a wonderful stay at the Greentree Inn. Paul was very welcoming and helpful. Before taking us over to the Greentree, he was kind enough to give us some recommendations for dinner and pointed out where the places were. He made sure we had everything we needed. The room was exactly what we expected: quaint, comfortable, and clean. The breakfast was SUPERB! Ann does a wonderful job and is very sweet. You will wake up to the smell of bacon! We had a delicious fresh fruit plate, followed by french toast and bacon topped with fresh strawberries and maple syrup. It was perfect. Paul made sure we had our plans lined up for the day and offered us discounted tickets to Luray Caverns. If you're looking for a quaint and cozy Inn near Luray Va/Skyline drive, look no further!

Comfortable with lots of b&b style flounces. Hearty breakfast. A couple of things to note: We had a private bath, but you need to go out into the hall to get to it. Also, the b&b has a cat--not a problem with cleanliness, but if you have allergies, be forewarned.

Overall we liked the place, nice service, nice view, small bedroom

We had a lovely stay at the Greentree, just down the road from the Mayneview. Breakfast was fabulous, and our hosts were friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay at the Mayneview or Greentree again when we return to Luray!

We recently had a great weekend stay in Luray. We previously had a great visit at the Mayne View. This time we decided to give the Greentree Inn a try. It was a nice two night stay with great breakfast by Ann. We appreciated the vegetarian accomodation. We enjoyed the hot tub and the closeness to downtown Luray. We walked to and from town for our evening meals. We missed some of the mountain views we had at the Mayne View, however, the Greentree was peaceful and the porches were lovely. Out little dog love it too!

The main house is excellent. However Greentree looks like an overflow location. It has an unlived in feel and smell. It is need of a good spring clean. Would certainly recommend the Mayneview but not the Greentree.

I'm not sure why this guest thought the Greentree is an "overflow location" and given the many other positive reviews it's received, I'm at a loss to explain this response. We're always striving to improve our accommodations and happy to receive feedback from guests, but this review is not helpful as the inn has been very "lived in" and is kept clean on an ongoing basis. It has also been the first choice over the Mayneview for many guests. So, aside from saying I'm sorry the guest(s)did not have a positive experience, I'm not sure what action we can take in response to this review.

We only stayed for one night, but the place was so charming I wanted to move in! The thoughtful and playful decor, the attention to detail and service, the beautiful views from the hot tub and the helpful hosts made it a great stay!

The room was quaint and the house was nice. There was ine other couple staying at the house, but we only saw them as we checked in.

Everything was great. It was our first B and B and it was so nice and relaxing. We both agree that we will be coming back soon.

enjoyed the southern hospitality. Lovely home, breakfast was great. The atmosphere just made you feel comfortable and homey.

The Mayneview B&B was my first experience with a B&B and it was wonderful! Breakfast was first class, the innkeepers were extremely knowledgeable about the area, and offered great suggestions, and the rooms were clean and cozy. I would definitely go back!

We've stayed at many B&B's, and this was the worst!!! We stayed 2 nights, our bed was never made, and clean towels and washclothes were not placed in our room, and the trash was never emptied. We had to rummage through drawers in the hall to find clean towels. Breakfast was ok, but portions were small. Paul was kind and helpful, but we never met Sally -- she stayed in the kitchen, & never greeted us during our stay. When we asked a question about ingredients in a lunch basket we'd ordered, she was snippy and rude. This was definitely a substandard B&B experience and we will not be back.

We would like to thank this guest/reviewer for his/her feedback as we are always striving to improve the quality of guest experiences at our B&B. We have already implemented a couple of new practices in response to some of the guest's criticism (making sure beds are made & rooms are tidied up when guests stay more than 1 night), although we are "green" and will only provide fresh towels if guests leave them outside their room door or stay more than 2 nights. Sally's role at our B&B does not include extensive social contact with guests or discussion of picinic baskets, so guests should not expect this and we're sorry if this in some way detracted from these guests having a positive experience.

Mayneview was the second of four B&B's we stayed at while touring the East, and had the most personality. The cats, like the hosts, were very friendly and attentive. Our introductory tour with Sally was thorough and informative, and Paul reappeared at regular intervals to answer our questions and check if we needed anything. There was room for some improvement in terms of the accommodations: the bed was a trifle soft, the breakfasts were tasty but predominantly sweet, and we couldn't quite figure out how to get warm (vs. hot or cold) water in the shower in our private bath down the hall. But we really enjoyed sitting in the hot tub on the deck, listening to the cicadas and looking at the stars and the lights down in town. The town itself was about a 10-minute walk away, with a surprising sampling of healthfood restaurants and a section of older and interesting houses. A path running along the duck-filled river was pleasant and an easy run from the house. With the information provided by the B&B, we were able to pick a hike to enjoy on nearby Skyline Drive, where the trees were in full fall color. Our visit to Luray, which we had never heard of, was definitely worth the trip.

We really enjoyed staying in this bed & breakfast. It was our first time staying in a B&B and it was a great experience. Paul was friendly and explained some of the historic aspects of the house. He was able to recommend some nice things to do in the area, and had plenty of guides for things to do. We bought discount tickets to Luray Caverns from them and saved $4/person. They are also very accommodating of dietary restrictions. One of our favorite features of the house was the cats. They have several outdoor cats and one indoor cat named Molly. She was really friendly and stayed in our room and slept on the bed with us as well! Other amenities provided are HDTV with cable, a nice selection of DVDs, a reading room with books, and a hot tub. The house has a great view of Luray and the mountains behind the town. If you are visiting in October, you should also be sure to check out the Darkwood Manor haunted house in town!

We stayed 2 nights at the Mayneview B&B. It was a very comfortable inn with several common rooms and a very welcoming host. I would difinitely recommend this inn to my friends.

Mayneview provides lovely rooms and tasty breakfasts in a historic home with a welcoming atmosphere. The hosts are helpful, and the Inn's cat, Molly, makes you feel like a part of the family. The deck and hot tub provide a great view of the mountains and the town of Luray. It is the perfect place to relax after a day of enjoying the natural wonders of the area.
