We hope your stay with us is relaxing and pleasurable. Enjoy the comfort of our various public rooms. Our Great Hall with its impressive three-story atrium is a unique architectural feature. Relax by the fire, or wander into one of the original twin parlors. When the house was built, the parlors were designated for ladies and gentlemen; cigars and brandy in one ­ sherry and women talk in the other. We have turned the men's parlor in a library and it is one of the favorite rooms of our family and friends, a place to cuddle up on a chilly Vermont night with a book and a crackling fire. Our town's literary guild meets here the fourth Thursday of the month. If you are lucky enough to be here then, please join in the discussion. The ladies' parlor is a perfect spot to relax in the morning, its subtle light inspires a calm start to he day. Do you play the piano? Across the Hall is our little game room where you can try your hand at the traditional backgammon, chess, cribbage, mancala, or the more contemporary Clue or Monopoly.

Breakfast is served from 8:30 to 9:30. Coffee is available at 7:30 for early risers, but if you need to eat a bit earlier let us know in advance. Also, please let us know if you have any dietary requirements. We can accommodate any special need from vegan to Atkins. In general, we support our local farmers and use organic foods whenever possible. The milk, eggs, butter, and cheese is almost always organic, and our maple syrup comes from our friend's sugar house just down the road. Our cereals and baking products are also organic. Even our bacon is nitrite free and comes from pigs that were raised with no antibiotics. We can direct you to sources for some of the best cheese in the world, and this is no exaggeration.
Afternoon tea is served at various locations in the house, or porch, at 4 p.m. perhaps scones and our own raspberry jam.
