"Our guest bedrooms are situated on the second floor, each room offering a distinctive view of the vineyards, Victorian gardens and trees that were here long before the house was even built. A small parlor is also located on this floor. Each room has a queen sized bed,and bath, and are decorated in period French, English, American, Georgian, Eastlake and Italian antiques and family heirlooms. Rooms are centrally air conditioned and heated for your comfort. The rooms differ in size and amenities which are reflected in their rates. Throughout the house, you will find a collection of distinctive original art. The house is full of wonderful antiques, collectibles and heirloom pieces that the Innkeepers hope all will enjoy. This is a home to be lived in, so each guest is encouraged to be comfortable and enjoy all the house has to offer.
At the top of the house, high above the tree tops, you may relax and make yourself comfortable in the most distinctive architectural feature of the Inn, which is a glass enclosed observatory perched 50 feet above the valley floor. Guests are able to enjoy a 360 degree sweeping panoramic vista of the surrounding vineyards and hillsides. Scottish stained glass windows enhance the 12 x 20 foot observatory where you may read, sip wine, nap, watch the sunset or the hot air balloons float by in the early morning.
Your stay includes a full gourmet's breakfast which may include everything from baked pears with cream to our Chef Innkeeper's signature dish ""Bella Torta"". Unique hot entrees are always included and a variety of beverages, fresh baked breads, cinnamon buns, and muffins accompany each breakfast. In the late afternoon, wine and appetizers are served. Many afternoons the Ink House is host to visiting wine makers who will pour for you and share their wine making secrets. Brandy and ports are available for guests to enjoy, as well.
The Ink House also offers a full wrap-around verandah, pool table (surrounded by the stone walls of our basement), bicycles, video library, picnic table and garden swing.
Our rates range from $117.00 - $225.00 per night, with a limited number of one night rooms available. Our check-in time is from 3:00 to 6:00 PM, with arrangements made for late arrivals. We ask for check-out at 11:00 AM, although you are welcome to stay on the property to picnic or relax in the garden.
Smoking is not permitted inside the house, and we are unable to accommodate pets.
