Curwen House

The Curwen House is an adult-only property. Children and pets are not allowed in the Curwen house but can enjoy the Inn’s other two houses. Each of the 11 guest rooms features restored antiques and private baths. Three deluxe suites feature a queen bed, oversize whirlpool bath and working fireplace.
Guests can enjoy a complimentary glass of sherry while contemplating the beautiful trompe l’oeil in the house parlor or enjoy a warm afternoon in the courtyard.
Peabody House
The Peabody House was built as a single-family Dutch Colonial home in 1874 by John P. Peabody, a purveyor of ladies’ fine furnishings. His store was located just down the street in the Daniel Lowe & Co. building, which today houses Rockafellas, one of the city’s well-known food and drink establishments.
The house has four comfortable and spacious family suites with kitchenettes, as well as two romantic deluxe suites featuring king-size, four-poster beds.
All rooms feature modern bathrooms with luxury European-style walk-in showers, and most feature working fireplaces. With a comfortable and inviting parlor, the Peabody House is ideal for families, couples and small groups traveling together.
