Bryan and I (Gwendolyn) bought the Historic home in 2015, I absolutely fell in love with it and the quaint waterfront town. The "Cottage" at the time was being used as a storage space. However in the past it had been many things, most recently about 2011 it was known as a small little Bar called "The Bee's Nest" then it became a small convenience store. When we first bought the property we did a quick fix up of the cottage and our son and his wife moved in. After buying their first we needed to decide what to do with it. With so Many possibilities, we decided to open it to guest visiting our little town. Noticing the need for more rooms, and privacy during the pandemic, we then created the Queen Suite. Creating this with a balcony and french doors leading into a living room/kitchenette, hallway to a full bathroom and a Queen Bedroom. Adding a wall w/ a maids door inside the Manor to create your own private space. se a suite. We absolutely love out little town and wanted to share our love of it with travelers and guest. It is a great little weekend getaway location. Not wanting it to be referred to as the Bee's Nest all the time.(mine you we love a cocktail or two from time to time) We decided to rename property, Gwendolyn's Marigold Manor (Built 1902). We are so happy that we took the time to look at this property, it was meant to be, we came to town to downsize, buy a little condo on the river, we said, ha ha ha.
We recently added "The Shoppe at the Manor" located on the front of the manor. We feature gifts & souvenirs and wearables boasting out town and our "RiverLife". Our gourmet pantry section, features Italian meats and a variety of cheeses, jams, olives and much more. Everything you will need to create the perfect charcuterie board. Yes, we even sell the boards. Stop in and enjoy your 20% discount as a guest.
