Our historic setting will enchant you and our popular shoreline town offers many accommodations and other amenities and points of interest for your guests. Our gardens are arrayed on two levels, one located on the South side of the House and a lower garden, fondly called the “Dingle’ is situated east of the House and South of our lovely Archives building. This area is attractively outlined by stone walls and extensive plantings.

If required, tents as large as 40’ x 60’ are accommodated in the Dingle while tents up to 30’ x 60’ can be employed in the upper south lawn and garden.
