Additional details
The Moss House Bed and Breakfast features four comfortable guest rooms each with private bath, as well as a cozy living room, and an elegant dining room for our guests' use and enjoyment. Family heirlooms, antiques and collectables lend the interior accommodations an atmosphere of ease and grace; life around The Moss House has an easy coastal style to relax in, but with a subtle Victorian touch.
Most of the rooms have the original carved wooden mantles surrounding colorfully tiled hearths, and the fireplaces, though no longer functional, recall the dedication to craftsmanship that was common when the house was built a century ago. You will find custom soaps, extra pillows, fresh allergen free sheets, and ample lighting in each room. Fresh flowers and greenery from our garden add to the relaxed and healthy environment of the house. Guests wishing to take in some fresh air will find that the veranda and adjacent garden afford a relaxing retreat, as does the back porch furnished with white wicker seating.
