Restful Sleep
Ten guests might get the most restful sleep of their lives here.

Every bedroom (four, one includes a Queen bed and a Queen sleeper sofa) offers ceiling fans and en-suite bathrooms with heated floors and rustic-luxe finishes like slate floors and showers, granite vanities, and copper sinks. Two bedrooms offer Sleep Number(R) beds with adjustable firmness, foot warmers, and responsive comfort. The company claims that “Sleep Number sleepers get an average of one hour more of restful sleep per night.” Come, see for yourself.
