One of the few Gothic Revival houses in the county, this home has the original home and carriage house and a cottage built in 1998. All eight guest rooms are stunningly decorated to be period but functional and well-appointed with updated bathrooms and modern touches. Guests enjoy a restaurant style home-cooked breakfast every morning and can lounge on any of our many outdoor decks or enjoy a soak in the hot tub. Numerous selections of local bourbon are available as well as cocktails.
