What a season 2026 has been so far too! We had our best May and July ever and have been thrilled that you have enjoyed all of the updates & renovations we introduced at the beginning of the season. We look forward to showing you even more updates with both new guests and our beloved return guests alike. Our photo albums per room showcase all of the updates to the Old Manse that we have been so happy to make over the last 13 years. The scrumptious new recipes for breakfast, especially the Orange Croissant Egg Bake and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes went over really well. Sign up for our newsletter to receive all of the updates!
As we start to prepare for the new 2027 season, our calendar will be posted on Labor Day – Monday, September 7th. So if you are seeking specific dates and/or specific guest rooms, book early. You will receive the best rates as well before the calendar starts to fill up!
