About the Farmhouse & Rooms...

 

The Curries' two story farmhouse was built in 1892 and remodeled in 1948. The wood throughout the house was the first delivered to the Jamieson Brothers lumberyard (Poynette) after World War II. Because materials were hard to come by, the house was finished with not just one type of wood, but four: beech, birch, maple, and oak.  All the floors are original.

Visitors enter into a built in porch/music room with a Hammond organ and other 1950's instruments available for use. Next, a family room welcomes weary travelers to sit, relax, and take in the friendly, fun fifties atmosphere around them. Guests can enjoy the collection of vintage movie DVD's and magazines.  An attached meeting room/dining room offers an area to discuss the day’s adventures or business plans. 

The large kitchen area is furnished with 1950’s tables, appliances, and dinnerware. Guests can take advantage of an optional full continental country breakfast and will find the refrigerator stocked with complimentary snacks and drinks.

 A screened Gazebo has been added in 2011 and accomodates 6 guests to enjoy the evenings.
