General Information: Welcome to Maison Orleans Bed and Breakfast ... this beautiful old federal front row house built in 1902 is furnished with lovely family pieces from the 30s and 40s which give you the feeling of grandmother's house. The house was originally designed with three rooms on each floor, and included indoor plumbing as well as electric lighting.

There is a private bath in the room as well as a telephone and television. During the winter months when the leaves are gone, guests will enjoy viewing the Washington Monument from this room. The Anna Levesque Room offers Twin antique beds (or King) that once belonged to the host's grandmother. Along with a television and telephone, there is a private hall bath just outside the room. A small seating area is included in this room. The Keller-Curtin Room has Queen size antique brass bed stamped and dated April 1915, purchased from a local antique dealer in Virginia.
