This fully restored 19th century house, situated in an architectural reserve village is encompassed by magnificent mountain nature: authentic old-style exterior and interior – cozy rooms, suites with fireplaces, romantic diner, an outstanding spacious garden with ancient barbeque. The house was built in 1836 and its ancient appearance and spirit have been preserved ever since – with stonewalls, the wide gate, the overhanging stone roofs and traditional furnishing. Old masters have created a wonderful harmony and lasting beauty out of stone, wood and wrought iron.
There are plenty of things to be seen and done in the area.

Before Columbus sailed accross the pond, on roadsides winding through quiet European villages stood traveler's inns and guest houses. These oasis places were the hospitality and shelter that created the Innkeeping industry. Similar to their cousin, the Bed & Breakfast, Guest Houses have evolved and filled a much-needed niche in the commerce of travel. A Guest House is usually bigger in rooms and scope than a Bed & Breakfast. They cater to the business traveler, offering upscale accommodations and amenities, often having meeting space and assisting their guests in the conduct of his or her business purpose. And so, as is the American way, we take our lead from the heritage of the Europeans and modify it to adapt to our culture. GuestHouse & Suites was developed on the age-old concept of offering hospitality and shelter at its finest; not only for the business traveler, but also the vacationer. GuestHouses are unique in style and gracious in service.
The Guesthouse offers 20 beds
• Double Bedrooms – 2
• Twin Bedrooms – 1
• Triple Bedrooms – 2
• Suite - 1 (4 beds)
• Studio - 1 (4 beds)
