Dear Guests,
We’re thrilled to have you stay at our lovingly restored property! I’m Barry, and together with my wife, Susan, we’ve been passionate rehabbers for many years. Susan’s lifelong dream was to renovate an old mansion, and when we discovered this stunning 1850s historic home, we instantly fell in love. The charm, the character, and the rich history within these walls captured our hearts.
We poured our heart and soul into this renovation, working tirelessly to preserve the home’s unique heritage while blending in modern comforts for you to enjoy. Every corner of this mansion tells a story, and we hope you feel the love and dedication we’ve invested in bringing it back to life.
We’re so excited to share this special place with you and hope it brings you as much joy as it has brought us. Make yourself at home, explore the history, and create your own memories here.
Warmest wishes,
Barry & Susan
