Guests who rent the entire house control the kitchen and dining room and can cook meals or bring in catered food. A Swiss couple took the whole place for a few days, bringing relatives from all over the world to celebrate a 75th birthday. The guests gave a festive dinner in the dining room. We'd like to get married here. The couple filled the rooms with friends and relatives, accommodating about 12 people.
Guests are welcome to sit in the library.
There are cozy chairs and a couch, walls of books, a game closet, and the fireplace with a huge black and white print of George Washington on a white horse. Different parts of the house come into their own in different parts of the season. It's sunlit with hummingbirds and flowers. One leads to the old general store that was once run by Bailey and now serves as Thaeder's living quarters. She is generous with tours of this bit of history, however.
