This is an intimate bed and breakfast with an engaging hostess whose husband, Captain Richardson, was related to Jim Richardson who started the Richardson Boatworks, renowned in the area. Pictures of this paragon of boats hang in the hallway. A sun porch permits a view of the water in any weather from cozy white wicker furnishings. Two enchanting guest rooms are spacious and elaborately appointed with Victoriana. One with a lovely lavender carpet and floral motif contains heirlooms from Mrs. Richardson's great grandmother.
Most pieces are of the past century.
Another room with a private front porch features her grandparent's walnut bedsteads of intricate carving with a double bed and single bed to match, two rockers and a secretary desk. The rooms share a pristine bath with a blue motif. The living room's peach love seat is near the window, looking out over rolling lawns to the water. A crewel worked sofa and needle point chairs speak eloquently of the graciousness of yesteryear. A delightful breakfast is served in the formal dining room amidst sunbeams from a full bay of windows on the Richardson's original black walnut table.
