    The bathroom is on the main level- fresh towels, soaps, shampoo, toilet, shower & all the essentials. Charming living room has a pull out sofa.
    The separate dining room has beautiful hand made table by local craftsman. The chandelier and all other lighting fixtures are handmade which would have been typical in a house of this time period in 1835. There is seating for 4 people.

    Enjoy your breakfast on the porch. Toaster, drip coffee maker, kettle, coffee, tea & sugar provided along with all kitchen essentials to prepare your favourite meal.
    BBQ and flagstone patio with table & chairs for your enjoyment.
