Welcome

Only two and one half hours away from the Washington D.C. - Baltimore metropolitan areas, you can find an opportunity to experience a glorious step back in time. From the moment you enter the grounds through the handsomely detailed gates you will feel the stately grandeur and majesty of this pre-Civil War mansion. In the magnificent entry hall you will begin to appreciate the meticulous detail that went into building this plantation home. On the north side is a huge elegant ballroom with twin marble fireplaces, exquisite peer mirrors, a square grand piano, original Victorian furniture and fine art pieces. The decor evokes a feeling of the splendor of a by-gone era. On the south side is a delightful and charming parlor filled with deep rich Victorian color.

Just beyond is the gracious dining room with its hand carved sideboards, rosewood dining chairs and grand chandelier. A step away is the original plantation office/library with rare books and hidden cupboards. Next to it is a sunporch with its comfortably cushioned cane furniture inviting you to sit down and relax or read.

Up the mahogany bannistered stairway from the entry hall, you will visit eight bedrooms on the second and third floors. Each unusually large bedroom has been decorated with differently styled Victorian antiques. Individual bathrooms with their Victorian wallpaper, marble floors, marble showers and antique fixtures complement each bedroom.

When you step off the wraparound veranda onto the grounds, you will observe a wide variety of trees and shrubs, some rare to the area. The tailored gardens and landscape on the surrounding eighteen acres, offer a sense of peace and tranquility from a period of over one-hundred and thirty years ago.

Facilities at this distinctive country inn offer lodging with gourmet breakfast, private dinner parties, meetings, weddings, receptions, corporate retreats and other special events. Local attractions include the beautiful and historic town of Berlin, the excitement of nearby riding, museums, and the Assateague Wildlife Reserve.

Why not make a special event even more special by sharing a wonderful part of the past with the present. Come see for yourself this magnificently detailed and restored mansion. Walk among the majestic trees, experience the ambience and serenity of days gone by, and enjoy the privacy that local wildlife have called home for centuries. Escape and sanctuary are just a short drive away.
