Main Building

From 12-foot vaulted ceilings, to golden heart pine floors, late Victorian details abound. Graceful proportions are the hallmark of the era; and guests especially enjoy the spaciousness of their rooms. Each has a unique decorative mantle surrounding the old coal-burning fireplaces (no longer in use to comply with local fire codes). Rooms are trimmed in rich hardwood - some natural finish, others painted. Transoms and brass ceiling fans throughout, recall a less hurried way of life. Antique furnishings in each room have been carefully chosen to compliment the period details, while providing true comfort and convenience to guests. Clawfoot tubs with gleaming brass and porcelain trim make the Victorian style bathrooms special. However, they are discreetly modernized to provide every convenience. The gingerbread-trimmed front porch welcomes guests with wicker furniture and a relaxing swing. Overlooking Auburn's oldest neighborhood (officially designated as the Old Main & Church Street historic district) it is the perfect place for morning coffee or a refreshing cold drink at the end of the day. Each guest room includes private bath, Cable TV with VCR, Clock Radio, Cassette and CD Players, Direct Line Telephone, and WiFi. Ample off-street parking is available.
Room Rates: $100 - $150 plus tax, (Complimentary Full Breakfast)

Carriage House Building

This building, nestled in trees behind the main house, includes the original Carriage House which was Professor Crenshaw's personal hide-away. It still has the foot-wide floor planks which were laid before the turn-of-the-century, and retains a rustic feel. He, like today's guests, must have appreciated the peace and quiet which this secluded building offers; for it was here that he authored mathematics textbooks which earned him international recognition in his field. Attached to the rear of this original structure is an additional guest room facing the side yard which is planted with a variety of native shrubs. This new room appeals particularly to guests who appreciate a tranquil place to study or unwind. Both accommodations feature private bath, Cable TV with VCR, Clock Radio, Cassette Player, Direct Line Telephone, and Internet Access. Well appointed kitchenettes make these rooms ideal as a longer term home-away-from-home.
Room Rates: $75 - $100 plus tax, (Complimentary Breakfast Basket)
