Lewisburg House | Elegant Updated Mansion in the Heart of Lewisburg

5 Bedroom House in Lewisburg

"Holt House" was built in 1834 and is named for long term resident Judge Holt, whose grandson, born in the house, was a WVA governor. Holt House has been maintained and updated in the best of quality throughout the years, yet retains its historic feel and charm. Just 3 blocks from "downtown" Lewisburg and 7 miles from the Greenbrier, the area is steeped in natural beauty and history. Lewisburg offers a local Irish pub, a fantastic pizza restaurant, unique taco spot (high praise coming from a Texan!), several gourmet eating establishments and fun shopping. Less charming but also very convenient, the area is also serviced by a Krogers, Lowes, and Walmart.
Five large bedrooms, 3 full baths, 3 half baths, an eat-in kitchen, bright sun-room, formal living room and dining rooms, and two offices provide plenty of space for a large group or family to enjoy each other's company and yet retain some privacy. There are beds for 10 adults. Five working fireplaces, two staircases, casement windows, and updated 1920's style bathrooms provide character and comfort. The house has been updated to include wireless internet, two flatscreen TVs with cable, and air conditioning in the entire second floor and kitchen. An outdoor patio for casual dining sits on a fenced acre in the heart of town. A washer dryer is in the basement, as is the new natural gas furnace that heats the house through the radiator system in winter months.
The front door, accessed by a gravel half-moon driveway, enters a lovely, large reception foyer opening onto the living room to the right, with dual couches and a fireplace. A connected elegant dining room has a fireplace, and seats 10-12. The butler's pantry sits between the dining room and the eat-in kitchen, and doubles as a bar area. The updated kitchen includes a food prep galley connected to a casual eating area with a fireplace, seating 8. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, electric stove/oven, microwave, Keurig, stainless refrigerator, storage area, and is cooled by an air conditioning unit in the summer.
A large private bedroom (the "Botanical Room") has a king bed, full bath, and cedar closet, and sits off the hall connecting the front and back stairs. Tucked off the entry is the lovely, tiled sun-room with a comfortable seating, a fireplace and TV: a perfect place for morning coffee and newspapers.
Upstairs, four bedrooms and two offices are connected by a large middle gallery. The master bedroom (king bed) has a fireplace, two cedar closets, and a full bath (featuring a shower/tub tiled in lilac and mint tile). A short step takes you through to a connecting office, that could be used as a nursery or play area for children. The office has the second TV and a printer. The front bedroom (the "Bird Room") has a queen bed with a quilted carved backboard, a cedar closet and a connected half bath (toilet and sink). An interior bedroom (the "Horse Room") has a queen bed, cedar closet, and large full bath (featuring a shower/tub tiled in yellow/black color). A last upstairs bedroom (the "Dog Room") has a king bed and cedar closet; it is serviced by a hall half bath (toilet and sink) in the hall. A sleeping porch on the back of the house has been converted into a second office with views across the backyard.
The house is comfortable and easy to live in. However, it sits on a busy corner. The traffic does not bother us; the walls are thick and we are well off the street. But there is noise (except at night when traffic is sparse) and the front yard is not enclosed. Another disclosure: the backyard is large and private (fenced), but the landscaping has not been maintained for many years. It remains lovely; a mossy patio just off the kitchen, makes a fantastic place to eat summer meals and watch the bird-feeder.
There is much to do in this area, both indoors and out. Hiking/biking (the 70 miles Greenbrier River Trail is 3 miles away); fly-fishing the many local streams and rivers; finding hidden swimming holes, driving through rural hills (just minutes out the door); kayaking; tubing; white-water rafting; snow skiing (Snowshoe is 1.5 hours away); antiquing; and of course, and checking out the historic Greenbrier Resort. In addition, there are many civil war sites in the area, including several markers just outside our fenced yard commemorating the Battle of Lewisburg.

Summary: property was very comfortable (excepting the fact that it took nearly 36 hours to raise the temperature of the house on arrival from 55 degrees to approximately 68/70 degrees); location and proximity to town center was convenient and within walking distance offering interesting diversions; regrettably, traffic adjacent to the house was unrelenting, noisy, and distracted from an otherwise enjoyable experience.regardless of the foregoing, Holt House is recommended for a large group seeking to gather in a comfortable, cozy, and enjoyable location whilst keeping privacy when needed.

Summary: The owners were very friendly and very responsive to questions. Our trip had 2 families with small children and there was tons of space for them to nap and sleep away from noise as well play. The outdoor backyard was huge and lovely with lots of trees around. It was very pretty and there was a huge honeysuckle that smelled fantastic. The bathrooms are a little rustic, but they all worked and it was convenient to have so many. I would recommend if you travel with a lot of things to plug in, a power strip might be handy as there are limited outlets in the bedrooms. The beds were all comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook at the house. We really enjoyed our stay and the space we had was fantastic.

Summary: Take a trip back in time in this wonderful historic home. If only the walls could talk. The property was well maintained, clean, and had every essential you could think of. Nice touch with the warm, white, thick, cozy robes for the cold nights and mornings. The host was easy to reach for any questions. We so loved the area and downtown shops and great food that was available as choices when going out. The rooms were large, beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was awesome. The yard was very beautiful as well sitting out back. Thank you so much. We would definitely like to return here again in the near future.

Summary: This was a great historic with plenty of room for the family of 10 that were staying together. The yard was a great place for our Easter egg hunt. The bathrooms were a bit old and could use a little TLC but the kitchen was updated and the most well stocked rental kitchen ever. The location was great but the noise level from the street and the thin old windows made it difficult to sleep. Fortunately I took my sound machine but others in the family did not and wished they had one. We truly enjoyed our stay and were sad to go .

Summary: We (87 year old father, adult children and partners, and three adult granddaughters) have stayed at countless VRBO and other vacation rental homes—large and small—over the years, and the Holt House is by far the loveliest and most gracious of them all. The house is beautifully decorated and supremely comfortable. There are working fireplaces in four rooms, and during the cold spell over the Christmas holiday (temperatures below 10 degrees), we used them all. Patrick, the owner, kindly provided kindling and a cord of dry wood for our week at the house. We started each morning with a fire in the massive kitchen fireplace and gathered around the big breakfast table for a meal. We had dinners in the lovely dining room, and then retired either to the living room with its large fireplace and two ample sofas for Scrabble and other games or to the study and a fireplace there for a movie. The beds are wonderful with excellent linens and quilts and comforters. There is a huge back yard behind the house and a large patio strung with lights (perfect for a croquet game and cocktails, I would think), but it was far too cold for us to enjoy this area during our visit. We spent our days walking on the Greenbrier Trail along the ice-choked river, wandering around the Greenbrier Resort, and browsing the wonderful shops in downtown Lewisburg before stopping for drinks at the General Lewis Hotel on the short walk home. Both Patrick and Carlena, the property manager, were immediately available to answer questions and could not have been more welcoming. Our stay at The Holt House was just truly splendid!

Summary: Holt House was the perfect setting for our family to gather to celebrate our son’s graduation from WVSOM last weekend! The home is welcoming, comfortable, clean and large enough to accommodate our big family. The patio and outdoor area is wonderful and was enjoyed by all. The location is perfect in respect to downtown and the school. We’re so happy that we were able to rent this property for graduation! Patrick was very accommodating to us and easy to communicate with. He is a super host and we would definitely recommend Holt House to others.
