The Palmer house was absolutely magical! You’re completely surrounded in the history and antiques of this unique property! Artists, musicians, poets etc. this is a perfect place for you! Set on a quiet street but a simple stroll to downtown! Bedrooms & baths perfect for our party of four. House is clean & kitchen fully equipped with all necessities. Kevin was an exceptional host!

Wow! We had such a wonderful stay at The Palmer House! The historic aspect of the home is what stands out. The commitment to honoring the style of artist Pauline Palmer is well done. The choices for comfortable lounging are abundant. The loft is such a great place for a nap or to quietly relax and read a book. The bedrooms are a very nice size and the king size beds with beautiful linens and pillows is super comfy. The bathrooms are spacious and updated. The kitchen and eating area are just perfect.The location is great. Just around the corner from Town Hall. We felt immediately at home and the complimentary refreshments were so thoughtful. The hosts really know how to please! We would most definitely return!
Our dog felt like a king in the day bed!
