Circa 1780. Classic New England style is reflected at this pre-Revolutionary War estate with its notable two-story Colonial architecture, restored crown moldings and wide pumpkin pine floors. Listed in the National Register, this country inn is located in the heart of the village historic district. Learn more about local history with a book in the library. Spacious guest bedrooms are well-appointed with private baths and murals designed by John Celio, a muralist and faux artist. Some rooms boast canopy beds. The renovated Cottage offers a private entrance, kitchenette and sitting room with a fireplace. Linger over a sumptuous breakfast in the romantic dining room by the beehive fireplace. Majestic pines shade some of the wonderfully landscaped grounds. Visit Old Sturbridge Village, an authentic living history museum. Ask about the inn’s cooking classes, special holiday weekends and wine dinners.
