Circa 1840. The family who built this pre-Civil War home ran a grist mill on the premises. Innkeepers Sandy and Tom moved into the home as newlyweds. Today, Sandy, a former caterer and Winterthur docent, serves up gourmet breakfasts such as cottage cheese pancakes with blueberry sauce and homemade teas, lemon butter and currant jam. Her cooking expertise was recognized in a Good Housekeeping Christmas issue. The guest rooms are cozy, welcoming and filled with antiques. One room features a Laura Ashley-style canopy bed. The Chandler room in a private wing, offers a king bed that can be converted to twins. A third room is a single with Victorian wicker. The house overlooks horses grazing in a meadow, and a nearby creek is visited by Canadian geese, deer and an occasional fox.
