Curl up in a chair by the original 1851 fireplace in the soft terry-cloth robes provided and read a good book or watch TV.

Looking out from the window, guests can view an historic tavern dating back to the late 1700's currently undergoing renovation.
The Red Room
Located in the main house, the color has been described as brick, watermelon and every shade of orange-red in between!
