Policies

We ask that you adhere to the following policies. Due to the unusual and delicate nature of our house and our original, period antiques, we have policies that must be imposed. We do hope you understand-- we want your stay to be an extraordinary experience. At the same time, please help up protect the best interest of the house and its contents. Appropriate state and local taxes will be applied.

If the house is booked at a time you would like to reserve the house, please ask the innkeeper to put your name on a cancellation list.

Check in is from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Special arrangements may be made for early or late check in. If you plan to arrive after 6 p.m., please contact the innkeeper, so we can make arrangements for your arrival. Check out is at 11 a.m.

Because we are a small, individual lodging facility, cancellations affect us significantly. As such, full payment is required to confirm your reservation. Cancellations made at least 45 days prior to your arrival are fully refundable. For cancellations made 30 days prior to your arrival date, no refund will be provided. We make every effort to rebook your reservation, in which case, we will refund your deposit. Cancellations must be made directly with the innkeeper by email or by telephone. Voice mail cancellations are not acceptable. If you must cancel, please obtain a cancellation number from our staff, either by email or telephone. Because of our cancellation policy, we always recommend you purchase travel insurance in case you need to cancel.

Septic System

We have an extremely delicate bio-filter septic system and must be very careful as to what goes in the system. No oils of any kind can be used. No personal hygiene products can be placed in toilet. We ask that you use the soap and shampoo that are provided. Unfortunately, we must use septic system safe products.

Smoking

Smoking is not allowed inside or near the house. For guests who smoke, we have a covered designated smoking area. Ask innkeeper for details.

Candles and Flames

No candles or flames of any kind may be used in your bedrooms. For the ambiance of a candle, battery operated candles are provided. Candles in the parlor or in the hall may be used only at the innkeepers discretion and oversite. By advance request, you may ask the innkeeper to build a fire in the parlor or in the original kitchen. The innkeeper will determine the time the last log goes on the fire and when the protective screen is put in place. For your safety and for your warmth and comfort, we do not allow fires in the bedrooms.

Children

Our home and antiques are not designed with children in mind. Children are welcome ONLY by advance special arrangement with the innkeeper. Well-behaved children 16 and older are welcome in the company of adult guests. For exceptions to this policy, please consult the innkeeper.

Pets

Although we are lovers of animals, we are sorry that we cannot accept pets. We would be happy to assist you in finding a nearby, suitable lodging facility for your pet.

Not Handicap Accessible

We are sorry, but due to the historic nature of the house, we are not handicap accessible.

Gift Certificates

Should you want to give the gift of experiencing life in the 17th century, gift certificates are available. We only accept gift certificates issued directly from our facility and not from any B & B websites. Gift certificates may be redeemed up to one year from the date of purchase. Our cancellation policy applies.
