“Live in the comfort of history for a night”
Lovely historical home with period furniture that makes you feel at home in a different time. The bedroom and bath are huge and comfortable, and the homey common rooms and outdoor porch are available for your use as well. The reading material in the living room was especially interesting and explained the philosophy behind the enigmatic name of the property!
