From the pineapple hospitality sign above the front walk, to the warmth of the music room and parlor, The House of the Seven Goebels beckons to those that enjoy and appreciate the past. Built in the late nineteen seventies, the home is an authentic reproduction of a 1780 Connecticut River Valley farmhouse. Constructed of colonial materials and with colonial methods, it mirrors the time and mood of Virginia's Williamsburg and Massachusetts' Sturbridge Village and Deerfield. On the exterior, wood rain troughs are anchored beneath hand-split shaker roofing. Exterior doors are handmade, with wooden latches and Indian bars.
Windows are twelve over twelve lights - double sashes with twelve panes each.
Instead of curtains and drapes, the windows are fitted inside with handmade wood shutters that close on cold winter nights. The shutter hinges are wood. Kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and interior doors and latches are also handmade. Floors are wide pine shiplap, attached also with square cut nails. Fifteen days in advance to obtain a full refund.
