Harmony House Inn Guest Rooms

The Inn has a very unique and unusual architectural feature. At the turn of the 20th century, after Eliza Ellis passed away, the house was left to two sons. There was apparently a family feud at the time and each heir wanted to occupy the house with his family. Rather than divide the space in an equitable way, they had the house sawed in half. On half of the house was moved nine feet, and a second hallway was built in the middle to join the two halves essentially turning the house into a duplex. Each family had their own entrance and stairway that led to the second floor. The dividing wall was solid further enhancing the brother's isolation from one another. In the 1940s, after the Ellis family sold the house, there were four doorways cut into the dividing wall so that occupants had easy access to one another.

"We have made every effort to accurately describe our guest rooms in the hopes that we never have a guest who is disappointed with their room, and our Inn."

The Harmony House Inn offers 10 spacious guest rooms. Three rooms have King Sized Beds (one which can be separated to make two twin beds), six have Queen Sized beds and one has two Twin beds. Four rooms are on the first floor; six rooms are on the second floor. Each bed has lamps on either side so that one guest may read while the other drifts off into golden slumbers. Natural light abounds in the elegant, yet comfortable guest rooms each of which has been personally decorated by your hosts, Ed and Sooki Kirkpatrick. Each room features one of Sooki's handmade cross-stitch patterns which she has chosen especially for that room.

All bathrooms are located in the room or suite. Bathrooms have tub/shower combinations; two of our suites have large oversized jacuzzi tubs. All have mirrors, supplemental heat, exhaust, lighting and night lights. Facial soap, deodorant soap, and shampoo are provided. If you forget to bring something, we try to keep some extra toothbrushes, toothpaste, and razors.

An antique lover's dream. This is a very popular, large corner room which has soft blue carpet and four large windows with blinds and swags which are in a blue colored flower pattern. The dimensions of the room are 20 x 18 feet plus the spacious bathroom. There are two comfortable sitting chairs with a Martha Washington sewing table in the middle. An antique dresser in the corner is suitable for storing your clothing and other travel items. There is also a large armoire which was constructed by a local craftsman. On the bed, we have a large quilt bear that our guests love to cuddle with. The decorative fireplace is adorned with a painted wooden angel. The bathroom is especially large.

Room 3

Room Type: Twin Bedded Room
Maximum guests in room: 2

Twin Bedded Room - This cozy corner room is located at the back of the inn near the guest entrance. The two twin beds, rather than sitting side-by-side, sit foot-to-foot allowing guests to converse without craning their necks. The dimensions of the room are 15 x 15 1/2 feet (includes bathroom). There are two comfortable chairs and an antique dresser in the large closet. There is a decorative fireplace which is decorated with one of Sooki's homemade arrangements. The large bathroom is flooded by natural light from the window. Many of our guests enjoy this room for its easy access to the entrance and its location on the first floor.

The Benjamin Ellis Suite

Room Type: Two Room Suite with Queen Canopy Bed
Maximum guests in room: 4

Originally the innkeeper's quarters, this area of the inn was unused when we purchased the inn. We immediately made plans to convert this area into a suite. Using some creative carpentry, we added a new entrance to the room (the door into the room originally went through the kitchen). This is a two room corner suite which offers a living room with a Queen Sized pull-out sofa bed and a separate bedroom with Queen Sized Canopy Bed. The dimensions of the bedroom are 15 1/2 x 16 1/2; the living room measures 15 1/2 x 13 feet. This suite is located in the back corner of the house and has three large windows. The carpeting is a soft peach color. The walls are painted in a light peach with pink grapefruit colored trim. The bedroom has a locally crafted armoire for hanging clothes. In the armoire, we provide two plush robes for our guests' use. The living room has the sofa bed and two other sitting chairs. The bathroom is large and has extra drawer and medicine cabinet space to store toiletries. The layout of this room makes it a good choice for families with children since there are separate rooms to sleep. Corporate guests also like this room because they can stay in the bedroom and have the privacy of the living room for small meetings.
