Maysville Manor
The building that houses this charming bed & breakfast inn was built in 1815. Originally a hotel, it served as the courthouse for several years. Guest rooms feature antique furnishings, plush bathrobes and windows with views of the courtyard or the quaint town. Some rooms have fireplaces. There's no smoking inside, but guests can smoke outside on the large porch. Massage treatments can be arranged. Continental breakfast is included. Outside the inn are walking trails through a working farm. Civil War buffs can take a day trip to Appomattox for a gentle hike over the grounds where General Lee surrendered and ended the war.

Village Inn Motel
All the Village Inn rooms are on ground level, and guests can park right outside their rooms. It's 18 miles from Crabtree Falls, where visitors can hike next to the largest vertical drop waterfall in the east. The Village Inn is accessible to skiing at Wintergreen Resort, but serious skiers would probably prefer accommodations closer to Wintergreen. A few rooms are designed for guests with physical challenges.. Although the motel doesn't have a restaurant, several coffee shops are nearby.
