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.


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

Darling little home

We had a lovely weekend at the Verdie May House. It's a tiny place, but full of charm. As long as you know you're staying at a small historic house, you shouldn't be surprised by the creaky floors, steep stairs and ability to hear each other in separate rooms - all part of the experience! Location was perfect - very easy walk to all the fun shops and restaurants of Lewisburg. It was clean and hosts communicated well. The decor/atmosphere felt like a trip to grandma's house, but with modern amenities.

Adorable, comfortable, and perfect location

My best friend from childhood and I met in Lewisburg with our elderly mothers for a reunion. The cottage was perfect for us. We found it well appointed with all of the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay and I love that the updates did not take away from the historic charm. I would love to stay again in my next visit.

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.

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.

Adorable cottage

I originally booked the cottage for my husband and me but he had a death in the family and couldn’t come. I took a good book with me and mostly relaxed. The cottage is well appointed with everything you need. It also has wonderful curb appeal and dedicated parking. Elinor communicates comprehensive information so you’re never left in the dark about any aspect of your stay. I definitely will be booking again in the future.

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.

Nice and quaint

My husband and son stayed here while attending the LIV golf tournament another town over. They enjoyed their stay as it was conveniently located near everything this town had to offer. The house was small and quaint but offered everything they needed for their stay. The porch was a nice place to relax and the lights added to the ambiance of the house. The owner gave some great recommendations of restaurants and places to visit in town. The house was just as described online and we would definitely recommend it to others.

Another Super Visit

We enjoyed another great stay at the Verdie May house. We simply love this home, the neighborhood and the Lewisburg area. The house truly feels like home and is a nice mixture of older home charm and modern amenities. It has everything we need for a visit to the area. The porch is AMAZING and we spend a lot of time enjoying it. The house is in easy walking distance to all the great restaurants and shops in Lewisburg and sits just on the edge of downtown in a quiet, easily walkable neighborhood. We have already booked our next visit. Can't wait!

Perfect

The cottage was perfect for our stay to visit the State Fair. The size was just right and the porch was fun! Easy to find and easy to communicate with the owner. The only thing we didn’t like was that the upstairs bathroom door had slits in it like window shutters. We were only comfortable using that bathroom if everyone was downstairs. Lol we ended up propping a towel up over it for privacy. Everything else was gorgeous! The beds are comfortable and we would have happily stayed longer. Thanks!

Better in person than the description

This is an old house. I'd estimate the original construction in the 1930's or 40's but it has been completely redone (probably gutted). All applicances are brand new. There is an addition for a full bathroom with a very nice shower. Keeping the original wood floors in the kitchen and second floor was a nice touch. The house is small but comfy. The 2nd floor bathroom (with claw foot tub) is quite small with only a 5'6" door so watch your head! We were 4 adults and had no problem. A family with active children may find it too small. The wrap around deck is HUGE. I found the dishes from the 40s and 50s in a display case very interesting. There are a number of such period pieces throughout the house. The house is located 2 blocks from downtown Lewisburg and we walked there for breakfasts and dinners. (Skip the Humble Tomato; not as good as its rating.) It is a short drive from Greenbriar. The parking spot in front of the house is big enough for 2 cars with a spot for a third car in a lot next door. The street in front was a little busy during the day but quiet at night. For those with electric vehicles there is a FREE charging station on Senaca Trail / Jefferson Street just Northeast of The Barracks on Randolph street. Only negative is the desk drawers are stuffed to overflowing with applicance and equipment manuals. They need to be organized and put elsewhere.
