The lovely rosewood curved sofa dates back to the mid-1800s and is an excellent example of Victorian furniture that is actually quite comfortable.This common area of The Sheldon Mansion also has a beautiful Baby Grand Piano which is available for our guests to enjoy. You can tickle real ivory playing this 1925 work of art.
Solarium
The Solarium offers wonderful views of the valley and the mountains beyond. As you look out you can stand between the impressive Empire era Roman Ionic columns and have a close look at the detail of the capitals.
Breakfast is served here in the morning and any time of day our guests can find homemade treats and a stocked refrigerator with a variety of beverages. This is all included at no extra charge.
Veranda
