Peter Bonn built this charming stone home for his wife,
Caroline Lochte, shortly after their marriage in October 1859. Mr. Bonn farmed
the land until 1869, when he divided the home-place between his two sons. Your
hostess’ grandparents purchased the property in the 1930’s and continued to farm
the countryside. During the home’s existence, it has been a residence, a
granary, and a barn. In 1994, your hostess revived the cottage to its present
state as a charming getaway from hustle and bustle.
A large front porch invites you to enjoy the country quiet by
use of rocking chairs. A living room, bathroom, and kitchen comprise the
downstairs. The living room offers a comfortable place to sit and enjoy the
television (limited reception with an antenna). With views overlooking the
nearby valleys, the kitchen is fully equipped for light cooking. The bath has a
shower. Looking out from the back porch, you will be entranced by endless
pockets of farmland and meadows.
The original staircase that leads upstairs is steep, so be
very careful! The bedroom is upstairs and takes full advantage of the
uniquely pitched roof. Exposed wood ceilings and rustic rope trim give you a
rich feeling of country appeal. Guests are welcome to venture into the basement
and look over some of the family antiques and farm implements.
