About Easton's Promise

Fall In Love at Easton's Promise -- Now or Again

Five captivating rooms with your own en suite bathroom await to indulge you. Three of our guest rooms are on the ground floor. Four rooms have Queen beds and one has 2 Twin beds.

Sip a cool drink on the screened porch or in our hidden garden. The 50-year old boxwoods and mature trees soften the modern conveniences of the centrally air-conditioned home. Watch for Easton’s Barred owl in the Garden recreated from that of the 1950s owner, Elvira Purdy.

Breakfast is served in the Red dining room or if you prefer to sleep late, a continental basket with hot coffee, tea, or coco, homestyle orange juice, and breads or muffins will be delivered to your door.

Eggs Benedict Florentine, Belgian Waffles, and French Toast Casserole are some of the many delicious entrees that you can expect each morning, served on fine china, silver flatware, and crystal. A first course of fruit and a final course of a morning dessert start the day in a grand way.

The inviting living room offers several comfortable seating arrangements, which allow guests to indulge in their own mode of relaxation. In summer weather, enjoy the advantages of a fully air conditioned home. In fall, warm yourself by our fireplace. Here’s where you can read a book or play a game of chess, or watch a DVD from our library of classic movies. Afternoon tea is served daily. On Saturdays sparkling cider attends the 6 o’clock hour.
