The Main House c. 1888 is a Victorian cottage style building. A turret, dormers, bay windows and simple decorative trim enhance this Berkshire cottage building. The breakfast dining room with wood burning fireplace and garden views is on the first floor. The kitchen is adjacent to the dining room. Also, a private pub for guests and the main deck area complete with fish-pond. There are 10 guest rooms on the first and second floor. The comfortable owner’s quarters are on the third floor.
The Mac Donald House c. 1777 is a classic colonial style building steps away from the Main House. Includes 10 guest rooms on the first and second floor. There is also a common living area in this building. Plus, five side porches.
The Carriage House c. 1889 features 8 guest rooms on two floors. These rooms have the option to reserve adjoining rooms for groups or families travelling together.
