Allen House Inn and Amherst Inn Review
A rare find, these late-19th-century inns a block apart from each other have been gloriously restored in accordance with the aesthetics of the Victorian era. Busy, colorful wall coverings reach to the high ceilings. Antiques include a burled-walnut headboard and dresser set, carved golden-oak beds, and wicker steamship chairs. Lace curtains and hand stenciling grace the rooms, which have supremely comfortable beds with goose-down comforters. The Amherst Inn location at 257 Main Street also offers rooms with fireplaces.
