Stay
Ten individually appointed rooms, each with its own character and historic details.
The Inn’s premier room, the Galax is a spacious king suite designed for a special stay. It features a dramatic four-poster king bed, two fireplaces, a comfortable sitting area, tall windows, warm historic details, and an oversized private bath with both a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, or guests who simply want the Inn’s most memorable room.
The Draper Room is a first-floor corner queen room with a private entrance to the porch and peaceful views across the fields toward the mountains. Warm wood furnishings, tall windows, a bright red reading chair, and classic historic details give the room a welcoming, comfortable feel. The spacious private bathroom includes a glass-enclosed shower and plenty of natural light.
The Allisonia is a bright, cozy single room — an ideal writer’s retreat or a peaceful solo escape. Tall windows fill the space with natural light and views across the grounds, while a red reading chair, warm wood furnishings, and a colorful rug give it a cheerful, comfortable feel. The room includes a private bath, an in-room coffee setup, and classic historic details.
