Situated alongside a lovely spring fed duck pond with a stone footbridge and tall evergreens, Pondside is a wonderful retreat from which you can observe the intrigues of waterfowl and pond life. The heated outdoor pool (currently closed due to COVID-19) provides relaxation and fun for all of our guests between Memorial Day and Labor Day, weather permitting! Select from our “Sweetheart Room”, 3 Room Suite, or Traditional Rooms with either one queen bed, two double beds, or two queen beds and a full private bath. Our “Sweetheart Room” is compact but cozy with one romantic queen canopy bed and a dual whirlpool tub. The 3 Room Suite with a complete kitchen offers one queen bedroom, living room with a queen sofa bed, a large room with a whirlpool for two, and offers a private deck from which you can observe the intrigues of waterfowl and pond life. In the warmer months, settle in with a good book and a cool drink by the pond, or finish up that project on your laptop connected to our complimentary WIFI. But you will get distracted by the antics of our resident mallards! Whether you prefer “Brookside”, “Pondside”, or our new luxury “Barnside Suites”, you’ll find The 1896 House enchanting, distinctive, immaculate and memorable! Stay with us once, and we know that you’ll become a part of our perennial guest list!
