Two weeks ago we returned from a 3-night stay at this Yorktown Bed & Breakfast with Paige and Mark Stephens. I decided to give it some time before offering a review because they are all 5 star and many say the same thing. FIVE STAR across the board; how often do you see that? Think of the hotels you’ve stayed in. Do you return home and leave the kind and insightful reviews that this B&B has gotten year after year? You don’t know exactly what to expect but let that be the magic of your stay. You drive for a good bit until you think “where are we going?” It’s like coming home, where you can sneak homemade cookies out of the jar - or grab a hot tea or coffee or a bottle of water at any time of the day or night. You can lay on their dock in your bare feet and watch the clouds. Where you will definitely laugh at Mark’s shenanigans as he tells big stories from his English memories. Where you talk to Paige while she wipes down a whole kitchen wall or sweeps the floor, but you don’t notice because she’s fun, interesting and kind. They are a loving couple who have been through some stuff - and stayed committed to each other along the way. I won’t mention great mattresses, the decor, the pool, our beautiful shower, or the best crepes I’ve ever eaten - all of that has been said. It’s the kind of place you think about when you get home, while you think of something to say that will give it justice and fitting words to describe it - and them.

We had a wonderful stay at the Bay Tree Manor B&B! The view of the bay was beautiful. We sat out on the dock in the evening and it was lovely watching the wildlife. The guest house was immaculate and very comfortable. Paige and Mark are great hosts making us feel welcome in many ways including great, well prepared breakfasts. We would definitely want to stay here again.

Vince and I stayed at the Bay Tree Manor June 12-14th. Paige and Mark do an outstanding job in making their guests feel welcome and comfortable. The Bay Tree Manor offers a fantastic home-cooked breakfast, snacks in the late afternoon. Their pool was inviting and the location looking out onto the bay was peaceful and inviting to kayak. We hope to return next year in October. Thank you again Paige and Mark.

My wife and I stayed at Bay Tree Manor from May 28th to June 8th in order to see our grandson’s final symphonic band concert and his HS graduation 8 days later. The setting in Seaford, with great views of the bay from the dining room, living room, kitchen and our bedroom was magnificent. The Manor is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The gourmet breakfasts, one after another during our LONG stay, were varied and absolutely delicious, utterly photographable, and so bountiful that we never touched the food we had brought along for lunches and snacks. Refreshing drinks and tempting home baked cookies were available throughout the day. Each night when we returned to Bay Tree, it felt like going home! In fact, during our 11 hour return drive to Buffalo, NY, we said to each other how it was the only stay away from our home in which we felt that way, and how we missed our hosts. We are looking forward to an opportunity to return. Below is what my wife so appropriately wrote in the guest book in the form of an acrostic poem. Paige and Mark Stephens, proprietors of Virginia's premier B&B, Are thoroughly dedicated to the Incomparable care and comfort of their guests. Generosity is the hallmark of their Enthusiastic welcome for every visitor… AND have we mentioned the splendid breakfasts?! Mark and Paige have an uncanny Ability to anticipate and fulfill any need, making Bay Tree Manor a Respite from the noisy demands of a bustly world. They Are Kindness personified.

Me and my wife stayed here for our anniversary and had a real splendid time at the B&B. Mark and Paige are very friendly and welcoming to the guests. Breakfast was perfect and the location is close to historic Yorktown to do exploring. The turndown service and little touches made the stay comfortable and memorable. Highly recommend to anyone.

My husband and I were beyond delighted with our stay at the Bay Tree Manor. Tucked away in the little town of Seaford, this bed and breakfast offered everything we needed: a perfect location for exploring the History Triangle, a gorgeous setting (deer! bay view!), and outstanding hospitality. Mark and Paige are gracious, warm, and friendly. We felt as if we were staying with dear friends- who just happened to serve us gourmet breakfasts each day! Our room was quiet, beautiful, and comfortable without being "fussy." I hope we have a chance to return!

One of the best experiences my wife and I have had. Mark & Paige are the most amazing nice and fun people we have met. The hospitality is unmatched from any places we have been. Place is very clean and set up perfectly. They have accommodations for so many events or parties. The food that was prepared was all made with the best of love and skill. Would highly recommend if you are looking to visit the area you have to stay here you will not be disappointed.

We love Bay Tree manor! We loved having our wedding at this gorgeous place. They have a perfect size for a beautiful event. The family that runs this business is professional & kind. They did an amazing job restoring this historic place and adding to its charm. The rooms are pristine and the bathroom is gorgeous! Well the whole place is just gorgeous and relaxing. Make sure you check this place out for a perfect anniversary or amazing trip to Virginia.

Wow! Super nice and friendly couple that welcomed us into their home. Gorgeous rooms and amenities with beautiful nature surrounding the property. The view of the bay was the highlight of our stay. You will experience a delicious and fabulous gourmet breakfast. Eggs Benedict was our favorite.

The Bay Tree Manor is an exceptional experience! It is located in a picturesque setting on an inlet of the Chesapeake Bay. When you walk in through the front door, you are greeted by a picture postcard view of the Bay, the built in swimming pool with terrace and the finely manicured grounds. We were greeted by Mark and Paige as we exited our car. They were warm and welcoming. And it was genuine! We had a chat in the great room as we entered. They are very easy people to talk to. We could tell from those first minutes that they had found their "dream job" as innkeepers. Breakfast each morning of our 5 night stay, was a culinary surprise and a delight. Mark was always careful to gauge our eating preferences and he always was on target. When I told him we didn't care for spicy food, I only had to say it that one time. I asked for my coffee a certain way and for the next 4 mornings there Paige remembered. Our room, as well as the common area, was spotless. There was an attention to detail that we haven't seen. Courtesy slippers (NEW!), plenty of bottled water, bed turndown and chocolate on our pillows! Mark and Paige made us feel special. They were preparing to host a wedding for 160 people the day after we left. With all the preparations they had to do, nothing we asked for was ignored or regarded as unimportant. One night we chose to get wine and cheese for dinner. Paige told us to get anything we needed from her beautiful kitchen. We appreciated that. We have been to about 40 bed and breakfasts in the last 20 years. Bay Tree Manor is at the top of our list by far. Other innkeepers should book a stay there to learn a few charms of the trade.
