Originally built in the 1870's as a small barn on the estate. The cottage was fully renovated, new bath, new kitchen, refinished hardwood floors, pillow top mattress in the sleeping loft, and a queen size Murphy bed if you prefer not to use the sleeping loft.
This is a petite one room studio cottage with ladder to the sleeping loft which has the queen size pillow top mattress. It is about 300 square feet, with a cathedral ceiling, plus the sleeping loft. It has wifi and a TV with DVD player. There is a CD music player. There is a propane gas grill on the deck.
We recently built an outdoor fireplace by the stream for the use of guests of the Schoolhouse and Teahouse Cottages. Next to it is a maul [splitting ax] and a chopping block. On the western border [upstream side] of the estate is a supply of seasoned firewood, some of which may need splitting. We include a "Campfire Primer" in our attachments in case you don't have experience with building fires. If you plan to build a fire, we recommend you bring some newspaper to ignite kindling.
Pets: Your dog is OK if you let us know before booking. After a couple of guests could not stay due to allergies to cats, we decided it necessary not to accept cats.
Check in 2:00 PM, check out 11 AM. If there is no guest right before or right after your visit, then check in or check out time is usually flexible – we ask that you confirm ahead of time so we can let the housekeeper know. The occasional issue of sulfur smell in the water [mentioned in a couple of reviews] has been eliminated by installation of a new water treatment system November 2016.
While the Teahouse can sleep 4, for more than 2 adults, we recommend our Schoolhouse Cottage on the same estate, since is it larger.
When you book we will send a map of the estate showing the location of the Teahouse, and a map of the 75 acre Comeau Park on the other side of the river and its 2 miles of walking trails.
The Teahouse is 1/2 mile from the center of the Village of Woodstock and the bus stop.
