Description

Circa 1836. At the end of a tree-lined lane this pre-Civil War, Federal-style home sits on 11 landscaped acres with a barn and a windmill. A comfortable decor includes antiques and reproductions. The kitchen is a popular gathering place for snacks and conversation. Guest bedrooms and suites feature double whirlpool tubs and fireplaces or parlor stoves. The Canopy Suite boasts a separate sitting room, and Ruthie's includes a clawfoot tub. Pecan French toast, locally made breakfast sausage, melon and banana bread are a favorite morning meal.

Relaxing and Cozy

The Bell Aire Mansion was a great getaway that we would recommend to anyone. It was relaxing and very cozy. The rooms were comfortable, roomy and very accomodating. If you want to get away to somwewhere where you can forget the stresses of everyday life this is it! The price of the room included breakfast that kept us going all day! We have to say the pecan french toast was out of this world! Jan & Lorraine were very hospitable and made you feel like family! The Inn was a short drive from everything and just a few minutes from the hustle & bustle of the town. We are looking forward to returning in October.
