The moment my girlfriend and I drove up to the bed and breakfest we knew it was the perfect choice. The whole place just radiates inviting, and friendly. Everything is very clean and well maintained. The gazebo is large and has a nice fire pit so you can relax at an apropiate distance. The staff are all super amazing!! Their fun, helpful, and all around great people. They served the best breakfasts and were so happy to get anything we needed. We are definetly coming back. read more

I only stayed one night at the Mayneview B&B, but it was more than enough time to realize this is a must visit B&B. I came from the Washington-DC area, and it was quite easy to get to the B&B (using GPS, of course!) Hugh, the innkeeper, was there to receive me with a complete tour of the place, which was beautiful, comfortable and spotless! The gardens and outdoor areas were just as delightful. My room, Hawksbill, was a corner unit with windows on two sides, painted in a soothing light blue and a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The room was comfortable, clean with a bed that knocked me unconscious until the next morning. I was also able to meet the owners of the Mayneview B&B, Bryce and Greg, who were very welcoming and kind. Hugh also made sure that I had everything I needed, and made himself available in case I had questions. In the evening, and after dinner in town, I even met some of the other guests at the Mayneview B&B, who coincidentally all came from the New York area. We all sat by the crackling fire pit and got to share our stories. In the morning, I was served a delicious breakfast of asparagus soufflé, with a side of sausage and a watermelon salad. The coffee was fresh, black and strong, just like I like it! read more

Mayneview B&B - Breakfast - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Luray, Virginia

The perfect place for our group! Even before we arrived, Bryce was easy to communicate with, both over the phone & texting. Upon arrival, Hugh met each of us & showed us around - he was the person to ask if you needed anything. Hugh's breakfasts were tasty & varied each morning. (Can't say enough good things about Hugh!) Mayneview was homey & large enough for our group of 8 to move around & not feel cramped, plus the outside gazebo was a bonus! Everyone was happy with their rooms. Should we stay in Luray again, Mayneview will be our first choice. read more

The criteria that matters most to me are cleanliness and quality. Greg and Bryce provide both in spades. The place is as clean as a new home, despite being over a century old. There are no dirty corners, no mustiness (as experienced in older buildings), no cobwebs. They have put a high degree of consideration in every detail. The bed and pillows are comfortable and seem new to me. Each room has a quiet heater/cooler. There was a homemade chocolate cake waiting for us when we arrived!! Yep. It was good. In fact I'm going for another slice. The breakfast is all hand made with locally sourced foods. Bryce cooked a light custardy quiche alongside fried potatoes he grated himself. There was a berry yogurt parfait and fresh OJ. The setting is beautiful. We are on a hill overlooking the surrounding community. Lots of greenery. Rolling hills in the distance. A lovely breeze outside. You can see every star in the sky. We've stayed in many B&Bs before. I rank Mayneview at the top of the list. (Even better that the Churchill in New Zealand which had an adjoining pub). read more

Our stay was amazing!! Bryce and Greg were so accommodating and hospitable. I would love to come visit again. I highly recommend this place for a romantic getaway. We stayed in the cottage behind the main house and loved it. Breakfast was delicious we were full all day from the breakfast. The cottage was very clean and we felt confident in the cleanliness. read more

What a great stay! The inn is beautifully ornate and very clean with hand sanitizer provided throughout the B&B. View is absolutely stunning, the bed & bathroom were wonderful, breakfast was delicious (my dietary restrictions accommodated!!), and owners super helpful with recommendations on hikes / local restaurants. We really enjoyed our nightly time by the big fire pit chatting with the other guests and appreciated all the thoughtful touches like s'mores kits for the fire, desserts, water bottles, and toiletries that aren't usually provided. My friend had never stayed in a B&B before, and now she's hooked! read more

We actually stayed at the additional property - the Greentree. We had to make arrangements to check-in (calling a manager and having him meet us at a precise time), which seemed odd, but perhaps that's just the B&B way (or the off-season way). The place itself was nice. The room was just the right size and had a private bathroom. On the property was a hot tub, which was fabulous. Our only issue was how paper-thin the walls were. We could literally hear every word of the conversation our room neighbor's were having. Kinda awkward. Each room had satellite TV and a DVR. There were DVDs and board games in the common area for everyone's use. Breakfast in the morning was chef's choice and made fresh. And there was so much of it! We had fresh fruit, granola, scrambled eggs, sausage, diced potatoes, and belgian waffles. It was yummy and very filling. Overall, we had a pleasant experience here. It was our first time staying at a B&B and we truly enjoyed ourselves. Everyone was warm and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again. read more

Under strenuous circumstances, I had to find a place in Luray that allowed two dogs. . . Not an easy find, especially if the change of plans forced you to book at the very last minute for a holiday weekend. Mayneview B&B delivered exactly what I needed!!! Yayayayay!! Located about 2-3 blocks from Main street, easy access to restaurants and shops. I reserved the Huguenot Knight suite for me and the two pups. A large and spacious room with a queen size bed, living room area, refrigerator, microwave, attached bathroom. . . AND. . . get this, a large jacuzzi bathtub!!! I mentioned attached bathroom because there are some rooms where you have to walk down the hall to get to your bathroom. Yeah, not for me. . . No thank you!! I like the convenience of an attached bathroom. It's just too awkward to wake up early in the morning and run into strangers before you're ready to face the world!! The B&B other amenities are free wifi, books, magazines and DVDS, hot tub and large grassy area (key for dogs) Paul and Sally, the owners, are really nice. Multiple times during my stay they ask how the room was and how my pups are doing, asked if I needed anything else. They even invited me to a block party that the neighborhood was doing that weekend. Free food, booze, games!!! Breakfast was great. This weekend, because of the volume of guests, they opted for a buffet style breakfast. I'm guessing that normally it will be more individualized. Even then I noticed that they had diet accommodations - trays clearly labeled "vegan" and "gluten free". Impressive, nice touch :-) Nice, cozy, comfortable place with cats roaming about outside and one very friendly indoor cat. Meaning if you have a cat allergy, you should probably inquire about that ;-) read more

Excellent hospitality! The Inn is very inviting; clean, beautifully upgraded without sacrificing any of its charm and warmth. Our room was lovely- clean, comfortable with a new bathroom. The location to the Shenandoah National Gap Entrance at Northern Gap was very convenient -10-15 minutes away. Breakfast everyday was the best meal we had while in Luray without exaggeration. read more

We spent Valentines weekend here. It was a great find and a great price. Paul was extremely helpful. I would stay again!

My wife and I just returned from a three night stay at this inn. We were absolutely overwhelmed by our experience. Luray is close to to beautiful scenery. Couple that with the magnificent view from the inn itself, along with cleanliness, fastidious attention to detail, delicious food, and an innkeeper who goes above and beyond to satisfy his guest's wants and needs, and that is a combination that guarantees an amazing vacation. Prices are moderate and well worth the experience. For a stay of any length in the Blue Ridge, I wholeheartedly recommend this inn. We plan to make this our "go to" spot in the future. Thank you, Bryce, for a wonderful vacation!! read more

Awesome staff and great breakfast. Fiancé got this place on a last minute trip for the 4th of July. Someone had just canceled moments before he called and we were lucky to find this little gem. We were the only ones left on Monday the 4th an the town did an awesome fireworks display that could be seen from the yard. Close to lots of vineyards. We had an awesome time and would love to come back. We had the Edwards Room on the top floor and it was beautiful but the owner showed us all the other rooms and they are beautiful as well. read more

We had the most wonderful weekend trip here in the early fall. We stayed in the upstairs suite and found the accommodation very spacious and the jacuzzi tub very fun! The house is well kept and has a lot of history. The breakfast was delicious and included many homemade items. The meal was well-balanced and the hosts were very thoughtful. The hosts were very accommodating and pleasant to chat with. Additionally, all the other guests we met were also very fun to be around and we liked talking to them at breakfast. I give this place 5 stars without a doubt. read more

Our stay at Mayneview was just perfect. We came for Valentines weekend and I could not have asked for a better getaway. Bryce and Greg are excellent hosts. The house is extremely clean and comfortable. I loved that they kept the historic aspects of the house but added in some modern touches. We stayed in the Shenandoah Room and it was perfect. The bed faces the window and waking up to a mountain view was lovely. The owners are so kind and personable. The breakfast was excellent, large portions, and so yummy. Bryce always had fresh baked goods available and we definitely took advantage of that. The best part was that I am gluten free. They went out of their way to make sure my dietary restrictions were met. Being gluten free I've learned to just make do. I never expect anything. It was so nice to have that taken into consideration. Bryce made flourless chocolate cake that was to die for and even sent me home with a slice. They've put so much thought and consideration into this B&B and truly care about the guests. All of that to say, you can't go wrong with this place. We can't wait for our next visit! read more

Our stay was amazing! I can't say enough about how perfect it was. I researched so many places before picking Mayneview and I am so happy I made the right choice. My boyfriend and I hiked Old Rag stayed at Mayneview and visited the caverns the next afternoon. The rooms have been beautifully renovated and you can tell how much work and effort was put into every detail. The house was extremely clean and well kept. The bed was so soft and comfortable, it was the best sleep we've had in a long time. When we arrived they upgraded our queen bed to a king since we were the only ones staying in the house on Labor Day. Breakfast was delicious (French toast, ham, egg frittata) and homemade cheesecake was phenomenal. Bryce was very attentive and made sure we didn't get lost and accommodating to our arrival time. Greg made our stay surpass our expectations. He was so nice, friendly, and informative on things to do in the local area. We got to enjoy the hot tub after our long hike. Afterwards we warmed ourselves next to the fire pit that was set up with a drink and had a spectacular view of the stars. It was so romantic, quiet, and charming. You can even book the whole house! I loved our visit and if you're in Luray I highly recommend it. Greg and Bryce well done! Thank you for the wonderful experience. read more

So cozy and historic. scrumptious food, and the cutest little kitty cat, Molly. We will definitely be back. Thanks to Sally and Paul!

We had such a wonderful stay here! The view from the house is gorgeous, our room was comfortable and clean, the breakfast was AMAZING! I have nothing but great things to say about them. Such great service, we felt welcome and well taken care of. Highly recommend!!! read more

If I could only use on word to describe this place I would use the word inviting. The location is superb. Within 15 minutes to the Thornton Gap Entrance to Shenandoah National Park, which was our reason for visiting. Luray has a few good places to check out as well. The house is adorable, perfect curb appeal. Inside it has been fixed up but still keeps its old charm. The bedroom we stayed in was perfect, the bed was so comfy! The shower was large and adorable. Breakfast, both mornings meals were delicious. The bacon was the best I've ever had. The chocolate and banana bread pudding was my absolute favorite. After a long day of hiking, they had a fire right next to the hot tub. Beautiful views of the mountain. Bryce and Greg were very friendly and gave great advice for what trails and hikes are must do's. Prices very affordable. The other 2 B&B'ers were also very friendly and made our meals more enjoyable. Thank you so much for our first time to Shenandoah, we will definitely be back! read more

Very warm inviting and friendly..The prices are very reasonable and the house is beautiful. We stayed in the Penn Dragon suite. The views from the room were very nice. The hot tub was amazing. The breakfast seemed perfectly portioned to fill us up as well. Bacon was excellent. We will definitely be coming back.. read more

Wonderful experience staying in a neat old colonial home with all the comfort of renovated rooms. The historical character along with modern touches of covered outdoor entertainment area including hot tub and fire pit made for also enjoying the grounds. There are panoramic views of the +/-billion year old Blue Ridge mountains from the porch, covered area and some rooms. Luxurious mattresses, top quality linens and comfortable pillows. Thoughtful and well prepared breakfast. A pampered getaway. Close to the Greenway for walks as well as hiking in Shenandoah National Park. read more

We spent an evening here. It's a very nice B&B in an old house. The owners are wonderful and will do everything to make sure you are comfortable. The room we stayed in was on the top floor and had a private bathroom, sitting area, and a queen size bed. The house is very close to the Luray Caverns and downtown Luray. The house sits on a hill and there are really nice views of the mountain and the town. There's an outdoor hot tub too! We will definitely stay at the Mayneview again. read more

Clean and comfy, but felt a baited and switched when I paid $140 to hotels.com and not given notice that online payers are banned from the actual Mayneview and segregated in the Greentrea which is down the hill and not as cute w/ no view of Shenandoah pk from the porch. The guy was ok enough but said since Hotels gets like a third of the payment so he puts us unluckies in the Greentrea. Hotels of course billed it as Mayneview and even gave me the address for Mayneview and I hold the guy there accountable for not having it made clear that all you will get is Greentrea. That window into the underworld of online booking was swell and all but I was livid. Especially as my lady's face dropped after waiting with excitement on the porch with the amazing view at the Mayneview for the guy to show us to our room and then being directed to what in comparison looks like a hovel from the outside. The interior is better than the exterior at the Greentrea Then he put is in the room downstairs which was the cutsiest, but has a door that opens into the common area and has a"private" bathroom down the hall. He saw our pisstivity and mentioned the more private vacant room upstairs room which was smaller and not as cute but had a shower and toilet in the room with the sink in the bedroom. I felt downright exploited when he noted that that room would be 5 bucks extra. At this point I'm paying 145 for a small room in the Mayneview's homely sister down the street (20 bucks more than it would have cost for the actual Mayneview if I'd reserved through them directly) and I hold it together for the sake of the lady but I'm close to going for this guy's throat. In sum. Don't book online. Breakfeast was alright, and I was hungry. We had two sausages and a baked cinamonroll dipped in egg kind of like french cinnamon roll toast and zuchinini bread oj and coffee. I had a good night's sleep except for the rednecks on the block who were either popping off a few rounds or shooting firecrakers at 11pm the weekend before the 4th. Overall it was fine and he didn't sweat me for the 5 bucks(he must have noticed the vein swelling on my forehead). Once again: book directly wirh Mayneview and not w/Hotels.com or Expedia or else you'll be in the Greentrea which has neither the ahhh view from the huge porch nor the architectural charm of the Mayneview. read more

What an amazing weekend getaway! The hot tub overlooks the beautiful and breathtaking mountain views. The grounds are well kept with charming small gardens. There are tons of outside seating options. I loved the house which is full of fully renovated charm and elegance. I would recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone. read more

We loved our upstairs suite. The whole house was charming and well-kempt, the view from the comfy rockers on the front porch (of town and the Shenandoah mountains) was super picturesque, breakfast was very tasty. But the best part was the owners -- Bryce and Gregory. Down to earth, fun to talk with, totally committed to making the B&B an awesome getaway for their guests. These are new owners and the place has been recently renovated so don't put too much stock in older reviews. Great job, guys! read more
