Front Living Room

Our front living room, which is always quiet and peaceful, has a comfortable sofa and relaxing chairs that allow for viewing the fireplace. The fireplace, with its connecting operational Dutch oven, and the hand-hewn beams are all believed to be circa 1764.

Gathering Room

A second common room, referred to as the Gathering Room, well deserves its name. This is where the largest fireplace in the inn is located (just one of 14!), which features the original iron cooking ware, circa 1764. Walls feature floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, containing many first editions and nineteenth century books belonging to the Isham collection.

The Gathering Room always has music playing in the background. A six-board chest serves as the coffee table, surrounded by leather wingback chairs and an extremely comfortable leather sofa just inviting you to sit. There is a chess/backgammon table, too.

The Conservatory never ceases to produce WOWs upon first viewing.
It has a wonderful wood-beaded ceiling, with nothing but windows on two walls. The short wall, which is curved and faces east, is designed to make you feel as though you were on a river boat – but not just any river boat. This landlocked one has a fireplace with an ornately carved European mantel. It not only serves as our dining room but has a sitting area where you can watch the sun come up and the birds feed. It also affords access to a very large slate patio with tables and chairs and Adirnodack chairs facing the Green mountains

Second-Floor Reading Nook

Hidden away on the second floor is a small room, which is a quiet place, with a sofa and chair just to curl up and read a book.
