Asa Ransom House

Looking for a home away from home to recharge yourself and give yourself a bit of a break from the daily grind? If the answer is yes, (I know it’s not in good form to assume, but I thought it would be ok this one time) then you should give the Asa Ransom House a look. Luxurious lodging, fine dining, and a beautiful event space are just a few of the things you can find if you decide to stay at the Asa Ransom House! Some of the rooms you can choose from include The Joseph Ellicott, which has a king-size bed with a high canopy that proudly presides in this stately getaway. Enjoy a lovely view of the gazebo and front gardens and relax in the spacious bath. Or The Rebecca Hamlin, which is a popular choice for young couples. Decorated in blues and mauves, this romantic choice is dreamy with its canopy queen bed and private bath. A cozy fireplace completes the picture. Consider the renaissance, which is an a-dramatic suite with a carved mahogany king bed, a fireplace, private parlor with sofa bed, bathroom with heated towel bar, garden porch, and a picture window framing the pond and gardens. And that’s just naming a few of the rooms they have available. There are quite a few more.

However, no matter which one you choose, you’re sure to find the room of your choice to be unique and expertly built. But let’s not forget about the breakfast (I’d be amiss if I didn’t at least mention it). Enjoy your choice of a delightful entree each morning in the dining room of their charming country inn. Options include house-made quiche, French toast, and more. Their full country breakfast also includes fresh fruit, juice, and coffee or tea. Looking for a great place to relax and leave your troubles behind for a while, while eating a delicious gourmet breakfast every day of your stay? Look no further than the Asa Ransom House!

Penny Lane Café

The perfect marriage between the cool atmosphere of a hip cafe and the raw energy only live music performance can give. Add to the mix some great food like the Fancy BLT – Bacon jam, Brie cheese, bacon, lettuce, and tomato.

And what you’ll get after you mix all these ingredients together is The Penney Lane Cafe!
