The Mayor's House
The Mayor's House at The Inn at Little Washington is a charming and historic cottage that dates back to 1740. Originally the home of the town’s mayor, this structure has seen centuries of history while maintaining its authentic character.
The master bathroom is a true sanctuary, showcasing a stunning blue and white design, featuring hand-painted Portuguese tiles. This serene space is equipped with a jacuzzi tub, a separate shower, and a double vanity sink, allowing guests to luxuriate in style. The care and attention to detail in the bathroom’s décor offer a peaceful and indulgent experience, tying together the home's luxurious elements with its historical charm.
The master bedroom, located on the main level, features a plush king-size bed framed by an awe-inspiring fieldstone, wood-burning fireplace, which stands as a central, commanding feature of the room. The upstairs offers a guest room with a quaint half bath, ideal for additional visitors seeking a comfortable and intimate retreat.
The renovation of the Mayor’s House preserved its rich past, leaving the original log and chinking exposed in the rear entry hall, offering a glimpse into the building’s early construction.
This two-story cottage blends the essence of historic Americana with modern luxury. Upon entering, guests are welcomed into a formal sitting area, complete with a cozy gas fireplace, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. During the renovation, an unexpected discovery of the mayor's riding boots in the attic was made, which are now proudly displayed next to the fireplace, adding a historic touch to the your stay at The Inn.
Outside, a private walled garden provides a tranquil escape, offering the perfect setting for afternoon tea or even a small, intimate wedding ceremony. This secluded outdoor space invites guests to relax under the shade of the trees, surrounded by lush greenery and the calming sound of a nearby fountain. The Mayor's House also boasts a private driveway, ensuring both privacy and convenience, making it an idyllic romantic getaway steeped in history and elegance.
