Step back in time to enjoy the second floor of the historic E Parker building, built in 1850. It overlooks Fitzwilliam's village green which is as picturesque as a postcard from days gone by. The village green is home to the strawberry festival, summer concerts, the flea market and the other village events. Farmers market on the 1st and 3rd Saturday May to October!
There is a private entrance to the left of the building and parking at the rear. The barn is on the national historic register and the back garden is yours to relax in.
This apartment is bright. It is listed a two bedroom but we added a twin bed in a small room so you can comfortably sleep a family of five, or two couples. There is a large eat in kitchen with propane stove, full size fridge, microwave, crock pot, coffee machine, electric kettle, toaster, dishes, pans, glasses and cutlery. We do not provide food.
The spacious sunlit living room is the perfect place to relax. You can watch a movie on the DVD, snuggle up in the comfortable chair and read a book or work on a jigsaw puzzle or color at the checkerboard table. There is also high speed internet available if you want to work from home.
The dining room is perfect for more formal dinner setting.
The master bedroom has the most comfortable queen sized bed and it was hand crafted in Vermont. It has a dresser, reading nook and closet. It overlooks the village green. In the summer there is a window ac in the room.
The second bedroom has a full size bed, dresser and a large closet. In the summer there is a window fan in the room.
There a twin bed in a small room but it is not technically a bedroom, it’s more for convenience for those that may need extra sleeping accommodation. It does not have a door!
The bathroom is off the kitchen and has a tub with shower.
We provide towels and shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. There is a vanity area outside the bathroom with a hairdryer.
There is also an ironing board and iron if you need it.
Laundry facilities are available for an additional charge of $5 per load (washer and dryer)
This is a little piece of history, we hope to one day update the kitchen and bathroom but until then it has old charm and function rather than state of the art modern design. We hope you'll find it to be a home away from home.
