The Inn at Millrace Pond

The main Inn building was a gristmill from 1770 until the early 1950's. Authentically decorated rooms, all with private bath, suggest the quiet elegance of Colonial America. In the fine dining restaurant, gourmet dinners are served. The tavern is downstairs past the mill's old water wheel. In 1997, a fine 1830 home from the village of Hope was moved onto the Inn's property. It features a meeting room, a parlor and a library with fireplace. The Inn has a tennis court and many major or minor walks and hikes are nearby.
