The Old Marshall House

Beautifully remodeled and decorated two-story farmhouse in a 5 acre serene and pastoral country setting built between 1867 and 1869 by Joseph Kennedy Marshall.

Comfortable guestrooms/log cabin with queen and king beds. A parlor, porches, a gazebo, lovely gardens with lily ponds and a stream and an outdoor pool with sundeck provide the perfect atmosphere for your stay.

The 1850's log cabin, now The Cat's Meow Cottage, served as shelter during construction of the house, and then as the kitchen and smoke house over the years.
