The Music Room was a Dining Room?

Wake up in history, where every corner tells a story. The music room is part of the 1869 house and was most likely the original dining room. Hidden within the north and south walls are massive pocket doors made of different types of wood. These differing materials create smooth transitions into the adjacent rooms. Stay overnight, enjoy the music of the baby grand (or share your musical talents with us). Book your stay & make history.

Every suite in the mansion has a journal. For you. To write about anything you’d like. Poetry. Observations. Fan fiction about Carl and Julia’s travel adventures... Most write about why they are traveling and what they love most about the mansion. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Keep writing. Keep dreaming. If you’ve stayed with us, but have never written an online review, please do. Help someone else discover the secret you already know.
