Introduction
A pair of wealthy gamblers pooled their resources in 1872 and built an elegant, exclusive clubhouse where their friends could devote themselves to gambling and other gentlemanly amusements. They spared no expense and hired a famous architect to design a grand villa with fourteen foot ceilings, elaborate chandeliers, a sweeping veranda, and a cupola to top it all off.
Select Registry Innkeepers of the Year Award in 2002!
This beautiful building is now The Mainstay Inn. It looks much as it did when the gamblers were there, except for a few concessions to 20th century comfort. Our guests can enjoy great variety in accommodations in the three buildings that comprise The Mainstay Inn. Rooms and suites range from ostentatious Victorian splendor to contemporary elegance. All have private baths and most have off-street parking.
"I don’t believe I have ever seen a historic house so painstakingly and lovingly restored and preserved. Nor have I seen an Inn more inviting and attractive." Richard Moe, President National Trust for Historic Preservation
The six spacious guest rooms of the Main Inn are furnished with splendid antiques, much as they were in the 19th century, but now all have private bathrooms with tub and shower. The building known as The Cottage became part of The Mainstay in 1981. Built as a private summer home in 1870, the Cottage offers six rooms and is joined to the Inn by a brick walkway transversing a lovely garden with a Victorian fountain. Each Main Inn and Cottage room has quiet central air conditioning, a 15-inch flat panel TV, and wireless access.
Guests in the Main Inn and Cottage enjoy breakfast served family style in our lovely dining room in the spring and fall. In summer a generous buffet is provided, allowing guests to take their plates onto the wide veranda or into the garden. In spring, fall, and winter, a continental breakfast is delivered to the suites. All guests are invited to partake of the famous Mainstay afternoon tea served each afternoon.
