4 Star Mobil, Fodor's. Reservations are necessary. Forever wedded to the river which it overlooks, this antebellum mansion, situated on nineteen acres, was build between 1814 and 1818. The elegance and delicacy of its detail and the sophistication of its plan reveal the hand of a master architect, believed to have been Levi Weeks of the Philadelphia area. Many of our guests arriving for their first visit, extend their stay because they find it difficult to leave this cordial and beautiful setting.
