The Mainstay Inn was originally known as "The Clubhouse," a 19th century pleasure palace, where gentlemen gathered in an elegant setting for gambling and other amusements. Since 1976, visitors have been able to enjoy the same grand spaces, with fourteen foot ceilings, and museum quality antiques. The six spacious guestrooms are furnished with splendid antiques, much as they were in the 19th century, but now all have private bathrooms with tub and shower. All guest rooms have central air conditioning and most have designated parking spaces.

We stayed at the Officers Quarters Suites across from the actual inn. This was a newer development, but it was furnished very nicely to give it a traditional B&B feel. The suite was HUGE--about 600 square feet, two bedrooms, a large bathroom,...
