Homespun Farm Bed and Breakfast

omespun literally means handmade, which perfectly describes this circa 1740 colonial farmhouse. We are the second family name on the deed of this 258 year old home. The farm was purchased in 1740 by Simon Brewster, a great-great grandson of William Brewster who arrived in the New World on the Mayflower in 1620. For over 200 years this historic property was run as a dairy and orchard business by the Brewster family. Today, we have preserved the home as a bed and breakfast so that many people can enjoy it. The home still enjoys it's original wide board oak and pine floors, latch hooks instead of door knobs, soap stone sink, and all the colonial charm that goes with a home of this era.

Homespun Farm offers well kept grounds that support a kitchen garden and part of the original farm's orchard of apples, pears, peaches and a cherry tree. Relax in the hammock under the grape arbor after a wonderful day of touring the area's attractions or a challenging game of golf.

Enjoy a delightful stay in one of two beautifully decorated and comfortable rooms.

The Pear Room is a second floor two room suite, with a fireplace and private bath. The adjoining room has a twin bed for families with children or the business traveler looking for extra room to spread out.

The Orchard Room is a very large sunny room with a four poster pencil post bed and private bath. Each room is lovingly decorated with period antiques, color tv with cable and airconditioning for the summer months.

A hearty full breakfast awaits you every morning in the candle lit keeping room . Then for the days exploring, River Ridge Golf course is literally steps away.
