Start with a turreted 1889 Queen Anne Victorian (built by William Vanderbilt as a private residence) on a tree-lined street in the center of the small town of Greenville. Add columned porches with the obligatory wicker rockers and gliders, croquet on the lawn, a brook, a car-riage house, an intimate restaurant, and admirable antiques, and you have the Greenville Arms.
This delightful 6-acre property features a swimming pool and a lit shuffleboard court; golf and tennis facilities are nearby. It’s an activity-filled retreat for families with older children and groups. The inn also offers 18 yearly painting workshops, with distinguished artist-instructors from all over the world, in the heart of Thomas Cole and Frederick Church country.
