About this property

The Litz Mansion Room #6 - The Doctor Johnston Suite

This beautiful historic mansion was constructed in 1859 by John Warfield Johnston, a Virginia Senator, and Judge of Tazewell County. The home is situated on a 3.16-acre lot and is conveniently located within walking distance of the Tazewell Main Street area. The Johnston family was very well known in Virginia for their achievements and built the home to display these accomplishments.

John, his wife Nicketti and son George lived in the home until it was purchased by John C. Hopkins and wife Elizabeth during the Civil War. Following the war, Colonel Andrew Jackson May (“Jack”) purchased the home. Jack May was thought of as one of Tazewell County’s best known military heroes who played a significant role in the Civil War and helped retain control of the Virginia-Tennessee Railroad. May lived in the mansion with first wife Matilda May, who sadly passed away. Jack remarried Nelle Bly and had a son Colonel May. Nelle remained in the home and turned it into a school for a couple of years before it was sold to the longest owners on record, A.Z. Litz and wife Etta V. Stauber.

While the mansion has changed ownership over the years, John Warfield Johnston’s home of grandeur remains the same over 160 years later!
Room #6 - The Doctor Johnston Suite

Dr. George Ben Johnston was the son of the original owner and builder of the home, John Johnston. Dr. Johnston was highly respected in the medical community for his surgical expertise and this room is named in his honor. The tucked away upstairs bedroom features two double beds and a private bathroom. Located across the hall from The Mary May Room, this suite is ideal for multiple guests. Full of light, bright and cheery, this room gives guests a pop of color with vintage red bed frames and a soft aqua rug. Also, the room has easy access to the rear staircase leading to the kitchen and most importantly the coffee maker.

Room #6
I really appreciated the cleanliness of the room. It was a lot smaller and darker than it looked online, but adequate to our needs. Never even thought about it being upstairs; it was difficult carrying our luggage up the stairs. The lighting wasn't good as I could not figure out the overhead light. My 91-year-old sister was disappointed there was no TV in the room. The biggest surprise was the height of the bathroom mirror. Did not realize we could park in the back to carry in luggage so it was a job for me with some health issues with walking. Thought there would be a continental breakfast. However, I realize I should have researched your website more thoroughly and definitely not putting any blame on you at all. The house is very beautiful! Having said all that, I would still stay in your house rather than any motel I found online. Thank you.
