This hillside property features 38 acres of rolling hills, forests, gardens and natural springs. Originally a stately 5 bedroom country home built in 1914, the structure had lost much of its grandeur and charm when it was transformed into an institutional-feeling nursing home (see before photos below). 

The current owner approached TDA to restore and modernize the property. A new program, consisting of 6 guest suites and a caretaker apartment, evokes the tradition of historic New England Inns, while finishes and furnishings draw inspiration from art deco and mid-century style to achieve a truly one-of-a-kind boutique hotel.

The full renovation included a new high-performance HVAC system and building envelope improvements. The custom ironwork banister, new floors and vibrant finishes breathe new life into the space. The central lounge was revitalized with a full-service bar and large central fireplace, finished with Ashfield stone, which opens onto a sunroom with commanding views of the valley.
