Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the fictitious town of MAYBERRY comes to life in Mount Airy, NC. The childhood home of Andy Griffith is the setting for your welcome to the Maxwell House Bed and Breakfast. Located in the All American Small Town of Mt. Airy is Snappy Lunch, Floyds Barber Shop, the Blue Bird Diner, and Wally's Service station, all within an easy walk from the home base of the Maxwell House B&B in the heartbeat of Downtown on MAIN Street.

Southern hospitality abounds upon your arrival at the Maxwell Bed & Breakfast at the Historic Merritt House.

The house is designed with many large rooms, with 10 and 11 foot ceilings, and all with beautiful oak and pine woodwork. All of the rooms are decorated with antiques from the family home place..
