Gayot
"This Second Empire-style home was built between 1885 and 1887... Accommodations range from Mansion Rooms to the Grand Mansion Suite. The latter looks as if it belongs in a European villa."

If the weather’s nice, request a seat in the Tree House: a tucked-away portion of Henrietta’s outdoor seating space that features a bar table salvaged from a decaying oak tree that once stood on the property.
