Our home, named for the delightful weathervane which tops the garage, was built in the 18th century. It is possibly the oldest home in the village that is still on its original foundation.
The house has served as a store, an inn and livery stable, a working farm, a stop on the Underground Railroad, an antique shop and a beloved home for a number of families.
Architecturally, it is a fasinating house. In the restoration, only changes essential for comfortable living have been made to the original structure.
Furnished with antiques and oriential rugs, the house has six working fireplaces, including the large cooking fireplace with its built-in bake oven in the keeping room.
The woodwork and plaster are for the most part, original as are the pegged soft wood floors. The front stair is an unusual square spiral, built by ship's carpenters.
Our bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and we have a suite with two bedrooms for families.
Full breakfast is served either in the dining room or the keeping room from 7:30 to 9:30 AM.
Fruit and juices in season, homebaked goods, freshly ground coffee or tea, and whatever specialty the cook is inspired to produce, such as popovers, northwoods pancakes or omlets.
Our guest house, a remodeled barn, has a cathedral ceiling in the living area, has baths on both floors and a complete kitchen, all dishes, linens, etc, are furnished.
The upstairs bedroom is large and there is a hide-a-bed for two in the living room.
