1930's house in Lewisburg's Historical District - The Verdie May House

Location, location, location! The 'Verdie May House' is an adorable 1930's cottage located in the heart of Lewisburg's Historical District - only a short 5 minute stroll to restaurants, cafes and shopping. Enjoy exploring the historical sites or relaxing on the spacious porch with a cool drink. This newly renovated home is the perfect place to enjoy Lewisburg!

This cosy 1930's cottage offers the opportunity to step back in time and immerse yourself in Lewisburg's roaring 30's (but with modern comforts!). This freshly renovated cottage has an amazing history - it was home to several local identities (including Eileen Kramer, an Australian National Treasure dancer and acclaimed local furniture maker Ozzi May and his wife, Verdie). The cottage is our favorite place for hanging out with family and friends - particularly as we can walk everywhere (and leave the car at home)!. We love using the cottage as a base for exploring Lewisburg and know you will too! It's the perfect 'home away from home'!
The house is small (great for 1-4 people) and has a spacious, well equipped kitchen (with new appliances), comfortable living area, study area with large desk, two comfortable bedrooms (with luxury linens) , separate laundry, a cute upstairs bathroom (with a clawfoot bathtub) and wonderful new large downstairs bathroom (featuring plush towels). .
Original artwork and crafts by local artists, (including my Dad, Ronald Refsland), is found throughout the house.
The large covered porch is perfect for relaxing anytime of the day (even when it rains), people watching or for outdoor dining. You will enjoy views of Old Stone Church and the cemetery (directly across the street), Carnegie Hall and other historical sites. We have beautiful and comfortable outdoor furniture, including an antique iron outdoor dining table.

The large patio (using original stone and local river rocks custom designed by a local artisan) behind the house is a more private space - with the original outdoor fireplace available for BBQ's or making s'mores.
The large front yard is perfect for playing a friendly (or competitive!) game of Molkky or croquet (we have the games for you),

The queen bed and two twin beds have brand new quality mattresses with quality linens and duvets and fluffy pillows. The towels are 100% cotton. We are particular about dust and cleanliness as our daughter has allergies.
The city water is perfect drinking water.

If you would like some tasty food waiting in the cottage for you on arrival or during your stay, my sister in law, Beth, has a bakery business (Fresh Flours – at the local Farmers Market). For my guests, she will take phone/email orders and deliver directly to the cottage. She does amazing quiche, granola and pies (about 20 different kinds – all fantastic!). If you are interested, drop her an email at beth@freshflours.com (she lives about 2 minutes away from the cottage) and she can email the menu. I know what it is like travelling and sometimes it is nice to have an easy (and delicious) local options waiting when you arrive (or during your visit).

The Verdie May Cottage is the perfect 'home away from home' to enjoy your stay in Lewisburg! Come and enjoy!

Perfect little place to stay

Another Great Visit
We enjoyed another great stay at the Verdie May house. The cottage has become an anticipated annual home away from home for us as we stay here each summer on an annual trip to Lewisburg. The house is perfect for us. The porch cannot be beat! We enjoy walking all over downtown, taking strolls through the neighborhood, going to the fair and so forth. Elinor is wonderful and we cannot wait to come back next year.

Relaxing Cottage Stay
My daughter and I rented the cottage for a few days during her Spring Break. We stay so busy during the school year that we sometimes long for relaxation and simple things. The Verdie May Cottage was the perfect place for this retreat and we were able to relax, shop, dine, and relax some more. The location is perfect, walking distance to shops and dining but somehow you still feel like you are away from it all. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Wonderful stay in Lewisburg.
Just what we were look for to celebrate our 38th anniversary. We rode bikes on the Greenbrier River Valley Trail and enjoyed the shops and restaurants in town which were so convenient to walk to. House was clean, comfortable, and easy to get used to with the great porch.

Perfect cozy cottage!
When we first entered this cottage, we felt like we just walked into an adorable doll house. Everything was so perfectly decorated, maximizing space and giving off very relaxed vibes! It was close to all the shops and restaurants in town and has a great outdoor space to enjoy any time of the day! The bedding and towels were a very nice touch. We had a little problem with the coffee maker, but within 2 hours, a new one was delivered-very responsive hosts-and crisis averted. I would definitely recommend this cottage and Lewisburg for a great getaway.

A haven away from home
Maybe it’s because yellow is my favorite color, but really it’s because this quaint cabin had everything we needed for our stay to visit our daughter in Lewisburg. Close to downtown, a useful kitchen to make a family meal, a roomy and comfortable outdoor area to make many fond memories in…thank you for sharing your property with us.

We have enjoyed another great long weekend in Lewisburg. The Verdie May house could not be nicer. We love it and wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. Lewisburg is such a great town with so much to do and see in the area. We look forward to our next visit soon.

Location, location,location!!
Our stay in Lewisburg, West Virginia, was very enjoyable. The bungalow had everything we needed, and was very comfortable. Its location within blocks of downtown Lewisburg was ideal for walking to all the best restaurants, downtown shopping, and the North House Museum, which is like a true treasure for Greenbrier County. The large porch was a delightful spot to spend some time relaxing.

We went to Lewisburg for the annual chocolate festival. After a couple of hours walking the streets (and eating chocolate) it was nice to have a warm bath and soft bed to collapse into. The rental is about 2 blocks to the main streets of the quaint little town.
