In the dining room, a wall to wall built-in china closet is topped by clerestory windows. A large bay window makes this room a lovely place to gather for breakfast.

For guest safety and the protection of this historic house and its furnishings, the use of candles and/or incense in guest rooms is strictly prohibited.

Unlike large hotels and chain motels, bed and breakfasts never have people lining up at 6:00 to take our rooms, and we never overbook like the bigger hotels, either. We feel it’s a two-part contract. We absolutely, positively promise we won’t give your room away. We expect you to promise to honor your financial commitment.
