Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this New England shingle-style bed and breakfast is filled with antiquities, curios, collectibles, artwork, and fresh orchids from the onsite greenhouse. The parlor, living room, dining room, and solarium exude a restrained Victorian elegance, and the four upstairs guest rooms feature decor that reflects different styles and periods, such as Victorian, English, and Arts and Crafts. Each of the guest rooms features volumes of works by the poet for which the room was named. Two of the accommodations are suites, one of which is a luxury suite and there is an additional accommodation in an adjacent cottage. A full three course candlelit breakfast is included.
