The 15-room center-hall mansion is decorated throughout with European and American antiques. The glassed-in garden room, where breakfast is served, overlooks farmland and a distant mountam range. A onetime summer kitchen with a walk-in fireplace has been con-verted into a den with a TV with VCR. Guest rooms have antique marble sinks, and brass, iron, sleigh, carved, or four-poster canopy beds. You’ll find ward-robes, washstands, and TV cabinets handmade by an Amish craftsman. Each room has a sitting area. The dormer rooms on the third floor are comfortable but have low ceilings.
