Hidden Room: guests comment on their wonderful sleep in the lovely queen four-poster Ethan Allen bed with Stearns & Foster pillow top mattress. A curved settee & wing chair provide a comfortable area to sit or watch TV. Waverly fabrics & wallpaper decorate the bedroom & new ceramic tiled bathroom. Kohler fixtures include a large glass corner shower & pedestal sink. Enjoy both air-conditioning & gas fireplace. Years ago, this spacious but unfinished “hidden” room was mysteriously walled off from the upstairs hall & accessible only through a circuitous back staircase.  Purportedly the room served as a stop on the underground railroad.The guest living room is solely for the use of our guests! Guests enjoy playing the piano, or chatting with friends. For those who wish to watch TV, we have satellite access and a DVD collection. Or simply relax by the fireplace in the adjoining library with a good book.
Elegant Schumacher magnolia wallpaper sets the tone for this restful, spacious bedroom appropriately named the Magnolia Room.
