|  | Azalea Room
Also called the "quilt room" because of many quilts used throughout the room, the Azalea Room offers a queen size bed which is accented by the original 22' think outer stone wall onto which this room was built in the early 1900's. To help create a romantic setting, there is an antique window hanging above the bed, covered in roses, lace, and other items of a bygone era. In addition, this room sports a twin daybed for sitting or a third person, a skylight to let in the morning sun, antique milk glass lamps and vases, cable TV and DVD player, telephone, wireless internet, and an antique writing desk/vanity. The bathroom is small, but private and it includes a standard shower/tub combo. Rounding out the modern, but country feel of this second floor room is central heating and a/c. | Room Rate

| | Holly Room
Tucked away down a few steps and into a private corner of the house, the Holly Room receives the most enjoyment from the delicious smells of breakfasts cooking as it is positioned almost on top of the kitchen (but just far enough away to not be disturbed). This room went through a renovation in June 2006 and now shows off its original hardwood floors plus a one of a kind painted glass window featuring a holly bush and cardinals, hand painted by one of artists featured in our Gift Shop. The room offers a queen size bed so high you will need a stool to get into it. Adding to the uniqueness of this room's closet is the childhood graffiti left by actress Andie McDowell whose grandmother once owned the house. The full, private bathroom has a window featuring part of the original outer stone wall since this was another room added on in the early 1900's. As with all of our other rooms in the main house, the room has cable TV and DVD player, wireless internet, and a telephone. Lastly, just like our Azalea Room, you will enjoy the modern convenience of central heating and a/c in this oh, so cozy room. | Room Rate
