A museum-like interior with extensive 19th century collection of furniture and arts. Owner offers tours providing details about the house and collection. Our individual room was gorgeous and comfortable, with modernized spacious bathroom. There is no TV (which was fine for us) but had strong wifi connection. House offers books, board games, and snacks. Located in a neighborhood of large houses rich in history of the lumber baron days. The only warning is the manor has three stories accessible by stairs only - no elevator or exterior ramp. Morning breakfast was incredible, based on recipes consistent with the period of the late 19th century. Best of all was the conversation with the owners, which expanded my breakfast well beyond clearing of the breakfast table! Jim and Jan were perfect hosts, and return trips will be forthcoming!
