Some of these details include 12' ceiling heights, the central circular staircase, salvaged carved doors, stained glass windows, carved paneling for accents and a mix of antique and new furniture. With the luxury of new construction, modern baths, central heating and air-conditioning, and modern appliances ensure that guests enjoy a comfortable stay.

Guests are welcome to dine at the large kitchen island or - when the weather is right - in the private courtyard.
All four guest rooms have the same amenities, so in order to best accommodate guests' varied schedules, we cannot guarantee a specific room. However, if staying in a particular room is important to you, we will make every effort to place you accordingly. Just please let us know of your preference when you make your reservation.
Your hosts are long-time residents of Washington, who together with their son, welcome visitors to their home. The family includes a cat named Mimi who also calls the house her home. Your hosts allow Mimi minimal access to the guest rooms, however those with allergies should consider whether this B&B is right for them.

The Coach House is a self-contained, 2-story Town House with about 850 sq. ft. of space including: 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, living/dining areas, kitchenette, and laundry facilities.
