Thayer's Historic B&B: A Charming Getaway in the Heart of New England
If you're looking for a cozy and charming bed and breakfast in the heart of New England, look no further than Thayer's Historic B&B. Nestled in the picturesque town of Concord, Massachusetts, this historic inn offers guests a unique blend of old-world charm and modern amenities.
Originally built in 1860 as a private residence, Thayer's has been lovingly restored to its former glory by owners John and Jane Smith. The inn features six beautifully appointed guest rooms, each with its own unique character and style. From the elegant four-poster beds to the antique furnishings and original artwork, every detail has been carefully chosen to create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.
But Thayer's is more than just a beautiful place to stay – it's also an important part of American history. The house was once home to Nathaniel Hawthorne, one of America's greatest writers. Hawthorne lived here from 1842-1845 while he worked at nearby Old Manse as a surveyor for the Salem Custom House.
Today, visitors can explore Hawthorne's former home on guided tours led by knowledgeable docents who bring his life and work to vivid life. You'll learn about his family history, his literary career (including such classics as "The Scarlet Letter" and "The House of Seven Gables"), and his role in shaping American literature.
But there's more to Thayer's than just history – it also offers guests all the modern amenities they need for a comfortable stay. Each room is equipped with free Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs with cable channels, plush bedding with high-quality linens, air conditioning (in season), private bathrooms with luxury toiletries from Gilchrist & Soames or L'Occitane en Provence (depending on availability), mini-fridges stocked with complimentary bottled water and soft drinks, and more.
Guests can also enjoy a delicious complimentary breakfast each morning, featuring fresh-baked pastries, seasonal fruit, yogurt, granola, and a hot entree such as quiche or frittata. In the afternoon and evening, you can relax in the cozy parlor with a cup of tea or coffee and homemade cookies.
Thayer's is also an ideal location for weddings and other special events. The inn's beautiful gardens provide a stunning backdrop for outdoor ceremonies or receptions (weather permitting), while the elegant dining room can accommodate up to 30 guests for intimate gatherings.
So if you're looking for a charming getaway in New England that combines history with modern comfort and convenience, look no further than Thayer's Historic B&B. Book your stay today – we look forward to welcoming you!
