2 Bedroom Cottage in Lewisburg

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 โ€“ 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 โ€“ 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!

Summary: I originally booked the cottage for my husband and me but he had a death in the family and couldnโ€™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 youโ€™re never left in the dark about any aspect of your stay. I definitely will be booking again in the future.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
