Accommodations

The Grady House was built in 1917 as a boarding house for railroad workers. Built in the Arts & Crafts style our house boasts a large front porch where guests talk and relax. Inside you will find every room well appointed with period antiques. However, the atmosphere is comfortable, warm and welcoming. We invite our guests to make Grady House their home. Common rooms include the parlor, the dining room and the coffee room. Outside you can take a winding brick path through our gardens to the Gazebo where you can sit with friends and have a glass of cup of coffee in the morning, or an afternoon glass of wine. Look, listen and visit with nature as the koi playfully swim in their pond and a variety of birds visit the many feeders and bird baths.
