Covid-19 in the Winter of 2023-4

Out of concern for our more vulnerable guests, and in loving memory of the five dear ones we lost to Covid-19, we prefer that our guests be current on vaccinations. We are willing to make exceptions here and there as long as a guest is healthy and respects our wish not have the virus in our airspace. We follow the science around Covid and we hope that you do too if you plan to stay with us.

General Information

Guests who would like to have our delicious vegetarian breakfast may add breakfast for $20 plus tax per adult, $10 plus tax for kids 6-10, and free for kids 5 and under.

All of our beds are of high quality, and our bedding is line-dried in the sun, weather-permitting. This gives the linens a pleasing, fresh crispness that many guests remark upon. We use only high-quality, non-toxic cleaning products in the rooms and bathrooms. We live-trap and relocate pests and use no pesticides.

All guests should be aware that there are friendly cats that sometimes frequent the common areas of the hotel. They are forbidden to enter guest rooms, to protect guests with allergies.

The Simpson is a smoke-free hotel. We have a pleasant smoking area back in our rambling array of gardens. Guests may smoke ONLY in that area.

All room rates are subject to 11.05% state and local taxes.

The Sweetheart Room ⁓ $129.

This spacious, quiet room has a queen bed, a table with two chairs and other antiques, and a cozy, protected atmosphere furnished in a Chinese theme. We have stowed a rollaway single bed and a small fridge and microwave in the closet. The Sweetheart has a large attached bathroom with an antique clawfoot tub long enough for anyone to submerge in. The tub has a hand-held shower fixture.

The Sweetheart Room

The Garden Room ⁓ $109.

Our "secret room" -- often tied up with visiting friends. This cozy room overlooking our side and back gardens has a full bed, an antique wicker desk, a dresser and wardrobe and two chairs. What it lacks in spaciousness it makes up with its charm and intimacy. Its private bathroom with corner shower is directly across the hall (not attached to the room).

Hotel Environment

We are committed to maintaining a stress-free, relaxing environment for our guests. Therefore, we ask all guests to observe the following house rules:

· After 9 pm and before breakfast, be thoughtful about voice and other noise levels, especially in hallways outside guest rooms.

· No disorderly conduct at any time.

· Children are welcome. Children under the age of 11 must be under a parent's or caretaker's supervision at all times. Noise levels must be in keeping with respect for other guests’ comfort.

· Our kitchen and office are private areas and are not open to hotel guests.

· We encourage your use of our lobby and parlor for socializing as long as there is no disturbing of other guests.

· There are two drinking establishments within walking distance, so we refer all boisterous drinking or partying plans to one or more of those locations.

· Because of the historic nature of our hotel, we do not have televisions in the rooms. You are welcome to watch movies on your own player. If you are not using headphones, the volume must be kept low enough that other guests are not disturbed. You are also welcome to borrow books from our parlor library and take them to your room.

· Our wireless internet is available for your use throughout the building. Please be aware that our rural internet speed is not what you may be accustomed to if you live in a larger market.

· Absolutely no illegal use of drugs, and no drug- or alcohol-impaired conduct will be tolerated.
