Benjamin Ellis House
This 1850 Greek revival inn lodged Yankee soldiers during the Civil War and today it's home to eight rooms—all with bathroom and flooring remodels in 2022—outfitted with antiques but light on clutter. The licensed commercial kitchen produces terrific breakfasts and private dinners and serves as a comfortable setting for occasional cooking classes. This historic 8,000-square-foot home has a curious past—at one point, two brothers sawed the house in half to install a large Queen Anne staircase, making the house 9 feet wider and creating a neat double hallway upstairs, adding to the communal space.
