Part of the house was destroyed by fire and was rebuilt in 1935, but much of the original brick building still remains. John and Rose Perry purchased the home in 1976. They have been working ever since to preserve and respect its rich, historical past. On a 65-acre parcel of land, the inn offers a tranquil setting and a breathtaking view across Piscataquog Valley. The decor is elegantly rustic, with rich wood tones accented by vivid, jewel-like colors and striking paintings.
Fresh flowers grace both public and private rooms.
The 13 cozy bedrooms are furnished in lovely antiques befitting a country estate. The house also features nine working fireplaces, four of which are in the guestrooms. Two dining rooms are warmed by original old fireplaces, and the main dining area contains the built-in bookcases and books, including a history of the Inn, from the old house. In addition to her role as hostess, Rose stars as the chef. Her artistry combines an eye for enticing presentation with creative use of well-matched ingredients.
