Professional use

War rooms and depositions.

Legal and professional work sometimes needs a place away from the office. The inn has hosted depositions, trial preparation and professional meetings that run for several days.

The house has ten guest rooms and several meeting rooms, so your team can stay where it works. We cater long working sessions. The house is quiet.

We keep your business private. We are used to guests who need privacy.
