The neighboring Poppy room boasts a striking claw foot tub painted the same golden yellow color as the inn’s front door. Fortunately for current occupants, it was discovered during a much earlier renovation and relocated. The Honeysuckle room was the site of the actual beehive that inspired the inn’s honeybee motif. Adorning the walls is Maya’s collection of framed artwork by Alphonse Mucha, the celebrated nineteenth century “master of poster art.” Two additional suites – the Aster room, which overlooks the garden terrace, and the Magnolia room – complete this level.īoth guest suites on the third floor feature dormer ceilings, adding to their coziness.

Amenities such as high speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and charging docks for portable electronics ensure that guests are not sacrificing modern conveniences amidst the Victorian charm. Each has its own en-suite bathroom, antique armoire, and luxuriously linen-clad king or queen bed. The inn’s upper levels house its five light-filled guest suites, whimsically named for flowers.

Through the front door sits the bright, airy living room with its double-sided fireplace. The inn’s common areas and five guest suites share freshly painted off-white walls and a color palette of soothing creams and grays with vivid pops of rich gold and midnight blue to create a cohesive interior.

After more than a decade in the hospitality industry, Maya is relishing the opportunity to bring her unique vision to life with her husband, Marco. Innkeeper Maya Tomasello radiates warmth and pride in the newly renovated property.
