The Brigman-Chambers House is on the National Register of Historic Places, and what an incredible home - perfect for your special reunion or small group gathering. The main living/dining area of the Brigman House has been remodeled from the original log structure, set on this spot in 1840. The rest of this lovely home was vastly added onto as a "major renovation" back in 1890 when the "little log cabin" became a Country Inn. Over one hundred years later, & just short of a demolition, the Brigman-Chambers house received yet another full face-lift & re-construction. Totally & lovingly restored in 2003, the Brigman House has all the charm of yesteryear with all the modern conveniences of today. There are 5 delightful bedrooms & 4.5 baths in the Main House (another 2 BR 2 BA in the detached cabin). Each bedroom will accommodate two to four guests, for a maximum capacity of 15 guests. All of the bedrooms have in-room fireplaces with gas logs, many with private & full baths, and some with spa tubs. Special touches, including wide plank floors & tiling, original rock fireplaces with delightful mantles & stone hearths, whimsical wall-papers, comfortable antique furnishings, wonderful quilts, sheets & towels - all surround you in a casual yet pampered feel.
For larger groups, add BreakAway Cabin to your reservation. BreakAway Cabin is just steps away and with an additional 2 BR & 2BA there is room for up to 6 more guests, for a total of 7 BR, 6.5 BA. In the Main House, two spacious family rooms allow you to spread out in comfort. Several porches - upstairs & down - are available to sit upon, relax, read, enjoy the views, or just find a quiet moment. A modern kitchen, with top notch appliances & all amenities, opens out into the original log cabin living/dining room area with rock hearth & fireplace. A gas grill is just out the back door (although most guests use this as the front door) & a cozy lawn will lure you out for an afternoon beverage and cookout. Location, Location, Location!!
