am sitting in this arm chair looking out the window at a winter scene in the waning light. I have been transported back to a time and place far from here. I can hear my mother downstairs doing what my mother did while raising five children in her house in Glasgow, Scotland. The cold, melting snow and leafless trees, it could be Christmas of my childhood. I don't know if this is a special place or if this is a special time but the aura is wonderful. The past can never return but anything that conjures a memory is magical. I need to remember that this is a business trip but feel that I am cheating my company with an expense report. Enjoy your stay, for today is the past of your tomorrow."

This cozy, dignified room features one double bed, private bath, hair dryer, TV, telephone,
and wireless B Internet.

veryone is so friendly and helpful. We loved Anna's room - no ghost...I'm a little disappointed. Don't forget the Tunnel and museum tour and the nature walks.

ur first visit to the Hartness House has been most enjoyable. The warm atmosphere from the decor and the staff added to our pleasure of the season. So many architectural delights - the many window seats, blazing fireplaces, wood beams, polished floors, elegant stairway, spacious rooms make a visit to the house very inviting.

his morning before dawn I listened to the church bells ring the hour - it reminded me of the small town in New Hampshire where I grew up. Then I watched the sunrise, which was a gift in itself. I will take this room home with me in my mind so I can visit it whenever I want to recapture this feeling (I might invite a friend to share it with next time, though). All this - and a tunnel and observatory too! Thanks for a beautiful visit, and my regards to my fellow ghosts: past, present & future."
