The Lodge from the road: a low timber building with a shallow-pitched roof, set back on the grass — The Lodge, across the roadThree bedrooms and three bathrooms. The nearest thing to the Farmhouse on the hill.

The Castle from the drive: a white castellated building with towers at each end and an arched entrance — The Castle, at the topEighteen bedrooms, a bowling alley, a theater and an arcade.

A timber signpost on the trail with a lit lantern hanging from an iron bracket, a black arrow pointing down a mown path into autumn woods, and red and yellow trail markers on the post — The trailheadA lantern, an arrow, and red and yellow markers.

A carved face set into the trunk of a large tree beside the trail, with bare woods and deep leaf litter beyond — A face in the treesCarved into a trunk beside the path.

Every room, and where it is.

All 7 bedrooms and 4 baths

Every group has the same question before they book — who sleeps where. This is the real plan of the house, so you can work it out now rather than at check-in. Read it as wings rather than floors: two families can take an end each, and a late-night group can settle down by the billiard room without waking the people upstairs.
