Accommodations
Prosperity School
has
four guestrooms, including
two suites, on the second floor. All
rooms have high
ceilings, one or more ceiling fans, central heat and air, antique furnishings, thick
carpeting, private en-suite full bathroom with amenities, Queen sized bed with
four or more pillows,
feather/down comforters (in season),
500 to 600 TC luxury
linens, LED alarm clock/radio, and their own
individual charm from family treasures and unique local finds.
Each Room/Suite has a "Scrapbook" full of
information about the B & B, the School's History, and the area, and
it's own 4 cup coffeemaker. Decorating is done with bed linens and window
treatments from Laura Ashley, Waverly, Croscill, Perry Ellis,
Wamsutta, and other quality fabric makers. Some rooms have
two-person
Bain Ultra Thermo Masseur tubs with heated backrests.
The 14" thick walls
and deadbolt locks ensure peace and privacy.
A
complimentary full breakfast is served
to our overnight guests at
8am, in the Formal Dining Room.
We serve our special Prosperity Blend Coffee with
breakfast, a Missouri brand by Chauvin Coffee. The menu
varies seasonally, and to take advantage of the freshest available
ingredients. We include juices, a fruit garnish, a filling main entree, and
muffins, biscuits, coffeecake, or other breakfast breads. A
lighter breakfast can be prepared if you desire, with advance
notice.
If you have any
dietary restrictions,
(Allergies, Diabetic, Vegetarian, etc.), or
dislikes, please advise us of them at the time you book your stay. If you
will be unable to join our other guests for breakfast, please let us know this as soon as
possible the day prior. We serve freshly made dishes, and want them at their best for our
guests. Newlyweds (and anyone else!) who want to skip breakfast and sleep in,
only need to let us know!

Common
Areas
The
spacious grounds offer separate herb and rose gardens, and a gravel pathway through a
woodland area. Guests enjoy the covered rear deck
with two lighted
 ceiling
fans, with patio table/chairs
and benches , the enclosed lower courtyard with water fountain
from Sandstone Gardens, and an
adjacent path through a flower garden with a southern exposure. There are well-patronized
bird houses, feeders, and hummingbird feeders scattered around the property.
We have noted an increase in our Hummingbird population
recently! During the
warmer months, many ferns and flowering plants can be found in these outdoor
"rooms".
The rotund figure on the North edge of the yard is Tubby, Little
Lulu's boyfriend in the 1930's cartoon strip. He loves to have
his picture taken with "friends"!There is ample parking in
the circular drive in front. From the entry vestibule, guests, following in the footsteps of schoolchildren, ascend the hardwood stairs to the lower central hallway. If you look back
toward the entry, you see a display deck above the vestibule, with school desks, a
chalk board, and the School Teacher! The large Formal Dining Room
and Parlor are just off this hallway, where we invite you to relax on comfortable seating, and enjoy the
double-mantle fireplace, glassware display, and the Proscenium arch that separates the two
areas.
Twenty-four steps bring you to the
second floor hallway, which is 12 ½ ft. wide with seating in the
TV area. Built-in bookcases hold books and videos to suit many a
discriminating taste, plus games, puzzles, Dominoes and cards to
play on the library table. Ceiling fans add comfort, and there
are menus and brochures from local businesses, along with
information on attractions and seasonal
events.
Be sure to check the Teacher's Mail Cubby for brochures and
other information. |
