Mavis Manor, Victorian house in Flat Top, United States
Mavis Manor is a wooden house on Flat Top Mountain with twelve rooms, two halls, ten closets, and seven fireplaces spread across its grounds. The structure contains separate areas for private stays and group accommodations with different room configurations.
The house was built in 1897 for the Lilly family and initially served as a medical practice where Dr. Lilly treated patients traveling from distant areas. This use as a clinic shaped the property's early decades.
The grounds host the Mavis Institute Co-Op, where visitors can explore programs about permaculture, beekeeping, and sustainable agriculture today. This learning space reflects a modern commitment to traditional growing methods.
The property is minutes from Winterplace ski resort and offers room rentals or full house bookings throughout the year. Visitors should plan ahead to decide whether a private room or the complete house suits their needs.
A concealed door in Dr. Lilly's office connected to the basement, where medical supplies were stored before modern refrigeration became available. This hidden passage shows how early doctors created practical solutions for storing medicines and instruments.
