The "Main House" was built in
1872, by local developer Peter
McCollum, as a summer cottage
for a prominent Philadelphia
milliner. When you step into the
house now you can easily
envision how it would have
looked over a hundred years ago.
The large, grand dining room and
the Victorian parlor take you
back to a by-gone era. The house
also features a comfortable
enclosed porch for relaxing in
both warmer and cooler weather,
as well as a large open porch
with rocking chairs to enjoy in
the warm weather months. This
house has 9 guest rooms, each
with period
antique furnishings and modern
amenities. All guest rooms are
named after a different wine
region, such as Bordeaux and
Tuscany.
