Thank you so much for your great review! Check out Nottingham Place in Wise Victorian Spa EnSuite and the Queens Chamber - with private bathrooms within their rooms instead of the detached bathroom for Cozy Turret Guests. We appreciate your support of our small business in a big house!
Exceptional place with executional comfort with exceptional care to make your stay special. It was beautifully decorated and very welcoming for the winter holidays.

The home has a lot of character and is in wonderful condition. Bath was very thoughtfully provisioned, as well as the snack/hospitality area. The owners are wonderful, kind people--I highly recommend it, and will be back!
This property was not only beautiful but so cozy!! After hiking for several days, this respite was exactly what we needed. Comfortable room, tons of snacks/drinks and all the comforts of home. The house also has several friendly cats that were a joy to meet!! Would rec this property to anybody seeking a quiet rejuvenating place to stay!!!

This is such a lovely place. It is both comfortable and elegant. The thoughtful additions are above expectations from robes, snacks and restroom amenities. My hosts have been so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Nottingham Place!
We enjoyed a variety of first-rate accommodations during our two-week trek down the Crooked Road. But none matched Nottingham Place … it’s beauty, comfort and remarkable hospitality shown by Ben and Kim. We’re already planning a return trip and the Nottingham is at the top of our list.
This house is gorgeous! I loved the historic features and it’s decorated beautifully! These hits think of everything you might need and have so many personal touches. I have loved staying here and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you so much!

I grew up in Wise and this part of town has became lovely. The home itself is beautifully decorated and comfortable. I was particularly impressed with the attention to details and things like snacks and toiletries. Hosts thought of everything. Much nicer than standard hotel

Beautiful home in the middle of town. Front porch was a wonder place to relax
What would you want to do after a day of hiking, exploring, working or researching? Come home to a relaxing and peaceful place, of course! My hosts offered exactly that. Just opening the door after I had passed through the lovely foyer overlooking a majestic staircase , I was greeted with an “ahhhh!” View of the turret room. High ceilings accented by a fan and high windows covered in pretty sheer coverings, luxuriant linens and pillows. Bathroom is in the hall but your own private bath and that hot shower you want after your day out.
This is a perfect home base for you after a day of exploring Wise county. Also, I could absolutely see a wedding party staying here, it is a perfect backdrop for pictures as well as a beautiful home to relax in.
I will definitely be back, thank you my hosts!

About the host
Hosted by Benjamin and Kimberly Mays
Hello! My wife and I look forward to hosting discerning guests at our beautiful historic home in the heart of downtown Wise. We live on the 1st floor and guest rooms are upstairs on the 2nd floor. I work in professional theatre and education and my wife is a retired professional actor. We toured nationally and internationally for many years so we know what it's like to be visitors in new places. We always appreciated any touches of hospitality which acknowledged our ongoing quest for comfort, quality and care while on the road. We definitely looked forward to special alternatives and we hope our guests find that at Nottingham Place!
Why they chose this property
Nottingham Place is one of the oldest and most recognized homes in the town of Wise. Built in 1898, it has an original stone wall fence surrounding the front lawn and street. This Victorian Era Queen Anne style home no longer has a turret but we do have a guest room we've named the Golden Turret Room because it was once part of the turret area and has beautiful curved angles reminding guests of it's previous history. Although the home is over a century old, guests will luxuriate with plenty of modern amenities. Central heat and A/C assures year round comfort and all 3 upstairs guest rooms have ceiling fans and heaters for additional options to suit individual preferences. Nottingham Place is in a perfect location - walking distance of restaurants, shops and around the corner from UVAWISE. There are 3 shopping centers nearby - one in downtown and the others a short drive away. Plenty of popular restaurants, walking & hiking trails and other activities are also within 15 -30 minute driving distances. Prefer to stay put? Guests may enjoy sitting outside on the fabulous covered and columned porch - spacious and inviting, plenty of seating options to choose - rocking chairs, wicker furniture, cushioned loveseats and other chairs, this beautiful porch has it all! Enjoy small town charm as folks drive past or walk their pets. The neighbors are incredibly welcoming - you may find yourself chatting with one or two across the stone fence! Nottingham Place - an exquisite alternative
What makes this property unique
Nottingham Place is perfect for those who admire older historic homes with modern conveniences! Many travelers recognize and often prefer private homes to hotels and this one is most memorable! Many of our guests return again and again, staying in their favorite room or trying them all out! The antebellum front porch is an exceptional place to enjoy springtime through fall! It's so special, Santa and Mrs Claus visit Thanksgiving to mid December so he can practice going up and down the chimneys! They love to visit with families in the Magical Christmas Foyer - schedule your family's visit soon!
