I didn't stay overnight, but had an amazing tour of this house today. The detail that has gone into this restoration is the best I have seen. The house is authentic, has beautiful period furniture and artwork, and yet is comfortable and not stuffy. The original tiger-eye maple woodwork and the Eastlake mantle are gasp-worthy. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who appreciates Victorian homes. It would also be a beautiful venue for a small wedding or a family reunion. The kitchen is outfitted for events, and would be a great workspace for multiple cooks for a family or friends weekend.
This stay with our friends was the most amazing and unexpected treat! This home transported us back in time, but with modern amenities. It was like living in a museum, but still felt like home. Everywhere we looked there was a new detail to see: artwork, furniture, fabulously ornate mill work, etc. Also, being located at a park gave us lots of opportunities for recreation. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was perfectly stocked with every gadget we needed for our meals. The renovation was done immaculately, kudos to all the volunteers! We felt so lucky to have found this place and will definitely come back to stay and maybe dress up for the period and play a murder mystery game!
