The Litz Mansion - A Historic Mountain Home

John Warfield Johnston, a Virginia senator and judge of Tazewell County, built this lovely historic home in 1859. The residence is conveniently positioned within a short stroll from Tazewell Main Street on a 3.16-acre lot. The Johnston family erected the house to showcase their accomplishments because they were highly renowned in thier native Virginia. The owners of this lovely property for the longest period of time were A.Z. Litz and his wife Etta V. Stauber. Experience history!


The interior of the home is focused on a large central hallway that serves as the main avenue of traffic and the entrance area to the adjacent rooms. Three of the bedrooms are situated on the ground floor, including the The Litz Suite, The Etta V. Room and The Jack May Room. Also, on the ground floor you will find the kitchen, dining room, living room and game room.

The central hallway flows into a large, wide staircase that provides access to the second floor. On the second floor, lower landing you will find a cozy sitting area and access to three more of the bedrooms: The Mary May Room, The Hopkins Room and The Doctor Johnston Suite. On the second floor, upper landing you will find the remaining four bedrooms: The Nelle May Room, The Colonel May Room, The John Johnston Room and the Nicketti Johnston Room. The second floor also leads to a spacious upper-level balcony that overlooks the vast front lawn.

Just outside the front door, you will find the large front porch with rocking chairs perfect for soaking up the outdoors. And to the side there is a rustic fire pit and sitting area so you can catch up with your friends and family….in all, this home is a perfect place to rest, relax and enjoy the mountains of Appalachia.

Rooms:

1) The Litz Suite: The Litz Suite pays homage to A.Z. Litz, in which the mansion as we know it today is named.

Great for a Family Reunion
Our family stayed in this historic property for a celebration of life of family members who passed away recently. The beautiful and spacious front porch with rocking chairs and a swing was an amazing place to share laughter and memories while the kids played in the expansive front lawn. There was plenty of room for everyone, and the neighborhood and surrounding area was quiet and peaceful. The fire pit was enjoyed by all for s'mores and storytelling. We loved walking into town for coffee in the morning and dinner at local restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and hope to be back one day.
