After the original owners of the house sold it, the property operated as a resort and hotel for most of its life. At the 100th year anniversary of the property, the structure was showing signs of its age and while the new homeowners loved the historic character and details of the house, their desire was to update it and convert the property back into a private retreat.

OF NOTE
  • The walls and ceiling were restored with over 10 linear miles of beadboard.
