Inn Details
Luxury, Romance and History await guests at Mayhurst Inn. The Manor House is a magnificent Italianate Victorian gem; remarkable for its exuberant architecture and oval-spiral staircase ascending four floors. Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and is a Virginia Historic Landmark.
Tour all four floors of the 9200 sq ft mansion complete with a climb to the rooftop tower where General "Stonewall" Jackson observed his troops. Wander the 37 acres of landscaped gardens, lawn, old growth forest and fields where Confederate troops spent the winter of 1863-64. General A.P. Hill commanded over 18,000 troops from a tent on the front lawn. General Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson were also guests.
Outstandingly restored with the best of the antebellum era and 21st century comforts: eight stately guest rooms with private baths, double whirlpool tubs, original Italian marble fireplaces, luxury linens, antiques, and period decor. Snacks, soft drinks, wine and cheese are offered each evening - 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Three course plantation style breakfasts are served on the large patio or in the dining room next to the fireplace.
