The oldest part of the manor house was originally a two-room cottage built in the 1690s. Two more rooms were added in the 1730s by the proprietors of what was then called Sylvan Retreat, a vast dairy and apple farm. An extensive expansion of the house took place in the 1870s. Five unique bedrooms that come complete with private bathrooms, queen-size beds with rich linens, and air conditioning are available. A lighted tennis court and a skating pond are available for guests to enjoy. A hot multi-course, country-style breakfast is served from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
