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!
This property is non-smoking and isn't suitable for anyone with mobility challenges.

Easy walking distance to the downtown, a number of restaurants close by and everything was reasonably priced. The host at the Smooth Ambler Distillery was very helpful and informative plus the bourbon was good.

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.

Great Location & Cute House
Came into town for a friend's wedding. We could walk everywhere which was the best. The porch is wonderful and tons of space. Communication was A+ and the emails had all the information needed. Would stay here again!

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!
