an 1897 Queen Anne Victorian Country Manor nestled in the heart of the small hamlet of Flat Top, West Virginia. Enjoy a romantic walk up the picturesque Flat Top Mountain or cozy up in front of the gas burning fireplace. We are only minutes away from Winterplace Ski Resorts.
Built around 1897, Mavis Manor has maintained its timeless features, now coupled with modern amenities. Relax in the parlor around the inviting fireplace, watch a movies or rock in a chair on our wrap around porch and watch time slow down!
Farm Fresh Eggs, Local Fruit, Vermont Maple Syrup Yum...
PS. I know you might be wondering about the Breakfast, our meals are good, but my Super Blueberry Pancakes, are worth the trip alone
Located just minutes from I-77, Beckley, Princeton, Bluefield aren’t far at all. Winterplace you ask? “I can see Winterplace from my Front Porch.” Which means it’s a 3 minute drive to go skiing. Camp Creek State Park, Pipestem, Little Beaver, Twin Falls the list goes on and on. Did you know Southern West Virginia is the best place in the United States to go White Water rafting?
Why Mavis Manor you may be asking yourself? If Victorian manorisn’t enough, how about enjoying all the comforts of home, but not having to be crammed in a tiny hotel room? Wifi, Comfy Beds, Puzzles? “But, I’m trying to escape my day to day life” Then spend the day fishing in our ‘very well’ stocked farm pond, play a round of disc golf, or just get out there into the bush, and explore the 33 acres of greenness. But, wait maybe you are feeling a little guilty about your eco footprint, don’t worry here at Mavis Manor, we do our very best to make the Manor sustainable, from ourbreakfast choices to our choice of décor. We found away to live sustainable without having to reduce your quality of enjoyment.

We booked a room at Mavis Manor and went whitewater rafting that weekend, which is about 30 minutes north of our stay. In short, I would recommend Mavis Manor to anyone looking for a comfortable, quiet, clean and affordable stay. The bonus is a beautiful house with a long history, interesting and eclectic art, a great homemade breakfast (blueberry pancakes are yummy - they don't skimp on the berries!), and super gracious owners - Justyn and Lisa are very nice, interesting people. You can tell they really care about the business and your stay. I love the numerous cats around the house (however they don't allow them upstairs or in the bedrooms so if you have allergies, you're safe), the chickens, the quiet country space, and the little bit of bohemian edge....yet professional & comfortable......a special experience. I'll definitively be back if I'm in the area.

Recently I was traveling from Pittsburgh and stopped in Flat Top, WV along the way not knowing what to expect. I appreciated that spending time at Mavis Manor gave you a experience, and a wonderful one at that, more so than just a room to stay in. What I liked best was how relaxed everyone was in welcoming me into their home. We spent the afternoon watching hens cluck around and feeding horses watermelon. Afterwards we walked up to the top of a hill and watched the sunset. Flat top has nowhere really worthwhile to eat and Justin also graciously invited to eat dinner with his family, where I felt truly welcomed. I had to have breakfast at 6AM because I had to continue on my drive which was absolutely no problem either. Other details, excellent wifi, clean and comfortable rooms, and was upgraded me to a larger space. I would definitely come back!
