Property Description

The Vineyard Mansion was built in 1890 for B.R. Vineyard, a prominent attorney, by the famed architectural firm of Eckel and Mann. This Romanesque Revival style mansion was converted to apartments in the 1940's and has been meticulously restored back to its original single family use. The property offers the Carriage House apartment and 4 suites in the Mansion — a unique alternative to hotel rooms, with the privacy and comfort of a home away from home enveloped in the grandeur and elegance of the Gilded Age. Guests receive a key to the front door and may come and go as they please, with access to the common rooms on the first floor including the foyer, rear parlor, dining room and kitchen. Breakfast is self-serve from the stocked pantry and refrigerator (yogurt, juices, eggs, cheese, almond milk, coffee), with no set breakfast time. There are no TVs in the bedrooms; a TV is available in the rear parlor. The owners also offer The Edmond 2, around the corner from the Vineyard Mansion.

We enjoyed the historical setting, and being in the mansion enhanced the entire experience.
Pros:

The communal kitchen is something we have experienced before, but this one had more choices and a LOT more possibilities We appreciated the homemade goodies in the kitchen this morning.

Cons:

It was fine. One has to consider that when a building is this old and has retained its original ambience, it will not be the same as a contemporary hotel. That was just what we wanted, and we appreciated the retention of the period that it represented, although I don't want to return to that "Gilded Age" culture.

Pros:

Tremendous furnishings throughout the building, the room was large with a comfortable bed.. The proprietor was very congenial.

Cons:

The shower was too small and the B&Bs that we have been to normally serve you breakfast but this one does not you have to make it yourself.

Beds were comfortable. Good location to do museums, etc.
Pros:

We ate breakfast at restaurants. Not a fan of cooking while on a get-away. Didn’t know rooms had no TV in them until a couple days before arrival.

Cons:

Keurig coffee pot on second floor.
