OVERVIEW and HISTORY OF THE 2 HOMES:
- The “RANCH HOUSE” is a seamless fusion of vintage charm and modern comforts. Surrounded by a 360-degree, wrap-around porch with chairs and porch swings, The Ranch House offers a large master suite with king bed and ensuite shower/tub bath, two queen bedrooms with a shared bathroom with a walk-in stone shower. The sofa pulls out to a comfy queen bed with a plush mattress topper. There is a large, well-equipped kitchen with a beautiful view of the garden that features granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, cookware, drinkware, utensils, and a massive handmade hardwood table that seats 14 guests.
Our special house features vintage treasures and welcoming art collections to complement the interior walls, anchored by stone and original hardwood floors. The ceilings feature pressed tin molding and 100-year-old beadboard salvaged from a Georgian farmhouse, adding historical character. Creative touches are evident throughout with unique pieces like the coffee table crafted from turn-of-the-century Detroit factory gears and a nostalgic wood-burning stove in the heart of the house.
-The “LODGE” offers a truly beautiful esthetic haven combining old world charm with luxurious design features - all with guest experience at top of mind. Erected in 2007 using massive hand-hewn timbers, her construction serves as a testament to history and the incredible craftsmanship of the first generations of men who came to America. The Lodge offers 2 equally spacious and beautifully-appointed, oversized king suites, each with their own private ensuite baths with curved stone showers and stand-alone deep, copper soaking tubs. The great room has comfortable seating, a towering stone wood-burning fireplace, copper dining table for 6, and a party bar/coffee bar with stools and a mini kitchen (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and copper sink). The sofa pulls out to a comfy queen bed with a plush mattress topper.
Built with primitively logged wooden beams originally crafted and utilized for a 1820’s barn in
Gettysburg, PA before their incorporation into The Lodge at Relics. The walls of the home are made from corrugated metal reclaimed from the barn’s roof built in the 1940s. Window and door casings were salvaged from a late 1800s home on the Jersey Shore home and solid Tiger Oak doors add further historical depth. Inside, the furnishings continue the narrative with copper tables, a massive cabinet made of architectural elements salvaged from an Indian palace, and curated decor from vintage shops across Texas. Each bedroom suite features its own unique, internationally sourced headboard. Master Suite #1 offers a 200 year old hand-carved church doors from Guadalajara, Mexico. Master Suite #2 offers a 19th century hand-forged iron gate from France.
