Historical architecture and modern comfort seamlessly woven into one
Rich with rustic sophistication and legitimate history, Mattei's Tavern effectively fuses old with new. The Tavern Building dates back to 1886 and the original cottages have been painstakingly restored to preserve their distinctive details, while new buildings sit alongside them – seamlessly blending with the authentic structures.
A seamless blend of past and present, Mattei’s restored cottages retain their historic charm with refined modern touches. Featuring exposed beams, warm wood floors, and inviting great rooms, each cottage offers spacious interiors and private outdoor spaces with porches, garden patios, and firepits.
Inspired by Mattei’s original homesteads, our one- and two-bedroom suites blend timeless architecture with understated luxury. Each features a cozy seating area, fireplace, and a private garden patio with lounge seating and a fire pit—perfect for relaxed evenings under the stars.
Centrally located, these airy clapboard bedrooms are set within new, two-story buildings. Crafted and designed to complement Mattei’s original structures, each room features white painted wood cladding, local artwork and exposed construction that reflects the centuries-old cottages onsite.
Choose from accessible cottage suites ideal for guests traveling with extended family and friends, offering sweeping views of our gardens; or accessible guesthouse rooms with open layouts. The corresponding photos may not reflect the specific accessible room type.
