Step back with us to a time of gracious hospitality in our turn of the century brick American Four Square manor home.

Enjoy rich oak woodwork, original gasoliers, and period furnishings from an era gone by.

Read, or just relax by the fireplace in the comfortable and well appointed parlor. Play a friendly game of cards or Scrabble; or watch TV or a videotape in the upstairs sitting room.  Or perhaps you'd rather enjoy our beautiful gardens or lounge on the spacious porch spanning the length of the house, and furnished with comfortable wicker furniture.

Partake of a sumptuous three course breakfast by candlelight in the elegant dining room, which includes an antique fireplace to warm a chilly morning. Breakfast includes juice, fresh fruit, delicious egg and pancake dishes; as well as a sampling of fine cheeses from local producers and homemade breads.  Your favorite beverages are also served.

Rooms:

There are four guest rooms at Oak Hill Manor to enchant you. Each room is unique; and each is spacious, bright and airy. One of the key features of American Foursquare architecture is that all of the "living" rooms in the house are at a corner. Each of the guest rooms, The Albany Room, The Hearth Room, The Lewis Room and The Oak Hill Room enjoys light and ventilation from two sides. Each is individually air conditioned, and each has its own private bath. Antique reproduction radios with integral tape players are present in each room, and a selection of soft music is available for your enjoyment.

The Albany Room:

• A queen-size wrought iron canopy bed with hand crocheted fishnet top and lace drapes is the centerpiece of The Albany Room. View the village of Albany through the crocheted curtained windows, while relaxing on the comfortable loveseat and daydreaming of yesteryear. A vintage dressing table adds to the romance; an antique table and crystal lamps create the finishing touch. The private bath is complete with shower.

The Hearth Room:

• A five foot high, iron and brass head board tops the queen-size bed in The Hearth Room. Curl up and relax on the comfortable loveseat which sits in front of the antique fireplace and read a book or just enjoy the view of the lush gardens framed by original window treatments dating from the turn of the century. Birdseye maple furniture, and a private bath with tub and shower complete the appointments for this popular room.

The Lewis Room:

• Awake to sunshine in the queen-size ornate wood poster bed. Sit and relax on the comfortable loveseat. It is nestled in the bay window which looks out on the same view enjoyed by the original owner of the home, whose master bedroom this was, and for whom the room is named. Set off in their own alcove, The Lewis Room and its private bath, complete with original ball and claw foot bathtub, hearken back to a more gracious time. This is the room enjoyed by the current owners who were guests when they decided to buy the Manor.

The Oak Hill Room:

• Almost six feet tall, the massive brass and iron bed sets the tone for The Oak Hill Room. An antique curved-front dresser and mirror from the turn of the century, and the over stuffed chair invite you to relax. Overlook the gardens and the hill for which the manor house is named from your private, heated and enclosed porch complete with wicker furniture and a day bed. Spacious and airy, this room is complete with a private bath.

Additional Notes:

All guest rooms are located on the second floor of the Manor. Also on this floor is a quaint guest sitting room. A TV with VCR, and a selection of videotapes are located in front of the comfortable loveseat and rocker. Also in the sitting room you will find a guest refrigerator stocked with ice, just waiting for your cold beverages.

On the first floor of the Manor a large and comfortable old fashioned Parlor is reserved for guest use. A magnificently carved hearth surrounds the warm and inviting fireplace. Relaxing chairs, and functional lighting make this a wonderful spot for curling up with a book or for playing a sociable game of cards with your partner. If you prefer, a television is also available for watching the evening or morning news or just to catch up on your favorite "Soap". A piano graces a corner of the room, and guests are encouraged to "tickle the ivories" for their own enjoyment, or for the enjoyment of the owners and other guests. Music brings Oak Hill Manor alive!
