    Photo Album

    "THE CHRISTINA ROOM" :
This darling room adjacent to The Vanessa has two twin size antique beds, A/C and private bath. Fantastic views from this room of the Koi Pond and gardens. My children called it the tree house room because it seems you are up in the pine tree tops. "THE VICTORIA" : This magnificent Victorian room is on the north side of the house, queen size bed, roomy closets, and a lovely, private Victorian bathroom with a jacuzzi. A/C
    "THE VANESSA ROOM" : This room is resplendent with a high brass bed, down pillows and quilt. On the south side of the house, (the back side) it has views of the gardens and pond, and is adjacent to the twin bedded Christina. 2 private baths (one with jacuzzi), and A/C.  "THE TV ROOM/LIBRARY" : Off the Living Room and Dining Room, guests gather to play board games, read, or watch TV.
    "THE LIVING ROOM" : For your relaxation, the Guest Living Room is complete with fireplace, where we serve tea. After you have settled in, come join me for tea and crumpets. "THE DINING ROOM" : Awaken to the aroma of rich coffee, delicious homemade baked foods, and a scrumptious gourmet breakfast served by candlelight with fine china, silver, and crystal.
    "THE HUMMINGBIRD GARDEN" : This garden is one of many on our grounds. Guests may enjoy the afternoon listening to the sounds of nature.   "THE VALERIE ROOM" : This room is our lovely bridal suite and located in the East wing of the house. It has a private bath with a jacuzzi, and a magnificent golden candelabra. Queen size bed with views of the pond and gardens. A/C but of course!
