There’s a lot of history in our home. We enjoy sharing it with great guests from all over the map.
One of our family tradition is quilting. All the beds have handmade quilts made by the Hillis family. The Mollie, Irene and Nellie rooms are named after 3 of the Hillis sisters. All are around 90 years old now and grew up nearby. These quilters still meet in the summer @ the house to tie quilts on quilting frames. They grew up on a dairy farm in Davenport and actually delivered milk to the Bridgehouse when they were young girls. Please enjoy the bedding and treat the quilts with care.
We recently added a front porch extension that has quickly become one of our favorite features of the property. It's the perfect place to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or unwind with a drink in the evening while taking in the peaceful surroundings.
This unique home is old and beautiful (1900, updated & renovated) with lots of history. There are books in the house available to read about the history of our community. The living room and porch extension are fun gathering places for families/friends to hang out & play games, laugh, catch up or watch internet TV. Each room has unique charm with homemade quilts and antiques.
GARBAGE; We recycle at the Bridgehouse. Please wash all glass, plastic bottles and cans. Put them in the clear garbage can marked RECYCLE near the kitchen. Cardboard gets RECYCLED and flattened in another clear garbage bag. All other garbage goes in the black can marked TRASH. Before you leave please take outside all trash and recycle to the side of the house where the big cans are. Place bags into the appropriate cans. RECYCLE is the blue can. TRASH is the black can. Garbage is picked up every Saturday.
