Ewing
Named for the long time owners of the Carlisle House, the Ewings have been a part of Carlisle history since 1853. William and Jessie Ewing purchased the home in 1927.
As the original 1st-floor front parlor, a remarkable feature of the room is the original Ben Franklin type fireplace insert, which warmed the home much more efficiently than just a tradition fireplace. This stove, which is now just ornamental, the marbleized slate mantle, 11-foot ceilings with both crown and chair moldings lend an appropriate period touch to the decor of this dramatic room.
English Library
Originally the 1st-floor middle parlor, the room features beautiful encased bookshelves to either side of the ornamental marbleized slate fireplace and a queen sleigh bed.
Included in the room is a half bath with a double vanity and an in-room double whirlpool with twin showers can be enjoyed under chandelier light from the 11-foot ceiling.
Hearth Room
This room is ideally and comfortably located on the first floor at the rear of the inn. With a comfortable chair and a well-lit work area with both Ethernet and wireless Internet connections, and of course a power strip to recharge your smart devices.
Hearth Room has its own private entrance off the back of the house. The room is a wonderful peach color. Accents of butterflies can be found on the print above the bed and above the fireplace. The fireplace has been boarded over but a beautiful painting covers it now.
Anna Woods
This room is ideally and comfortably located on the first floor at the rear of the inn. With a comfortable chair and a well-lit work area with both Ethernet and wireless Internet connections, and of course a power strip to recharge your smart devices.
The room is decorated in soft French accents with comfortable lounging chair, worktable and large bathroom. Relax in the five-foot soaker tub or revitalize with the European multi-jetted shower. The decorative porcelain vessel sink is set into one of the china cabinets of the 1826 dining room and features the original brick wall of the house.
