Bed and Breakfast Description

Elegant 1824 mansion. Large romantic rooms, 3 with fireplaces. Private baths. Gourmet candlelight breakfasts.

Step back in time as you enter this gracious and comfortable 1824 home surrounded by ancient copper beach trees and tall, stately pines. With high ceilings, large windows and French doors that open to comfortable, airy porches, Federal House Inn has common areas that are warm and inviting, beckoning you to enjoy complimentary hors d'oeuvres while you relax in the comfortable living room.

Our guestrooms feature queen four-poster beds, antique furnishings, private bathrooms and air-conditioning. Some rooms have fireplaces. Visit our Guest Pantry to make a late-night cup of tea.

Begin the day with a candlelight breakfast in our elegant dining room, starting with fresh squeezed orange juice followed by a savory homemade muffin or bread and a fresh fruit dish. You’ll then enjoy a memorable entrée such as berry French toast, quiche Lorraine, or fluffy buttermilk pancakes with Vermont maple syrup.

In winter, relax before a crackling fire in our elegant living room. In summer, our landscaped grounds and large, airy porches offer peaceful spots where you can read a good book, talk with a friend, or just relax and let the sounds of nature surround you.
