About this property

The Mays Place Bed and Breakfast whole house option

Our historic home was built in 1890 by Robert Mays for his lovely new bride. The home has been maintained in near original fashion. Take a step back in time and enjoy antiques, the old fashion pull toliet, a half acre of landscaped yard and a variety of wildlife.
Although we are a bed and breakfast we also rent the full home for families and large groups. We are flexible and willing to accommodate guest needs, advise of local attractions and have an offsite location to board your horses.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
