Stroll the formal boxwood gardens, wander through the woods and fields, and enjoy bluebirds and hummingbirds along the back porch gardens. For a summertime cool off, go wading in the Robinson River or bicycle around the numerous country lanes.
And you can always pull up one of the Adirondack chairs and revel in the spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains. Sip afternoon tea, walk in the lush gardens or enjoy time in a rocker. It's up to you!
In the colonial mansion, also called the Manor House, you'll find 9-over-9 windows that offer incredible views of rare and grand trees, ancient brick sidewalks, and breathtaking mountain sunsets.
Get to know the other guests and mingle with them in the same parlor that entertained General Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson.
