Quiet location

The Grape Arbor Bed and Breakfast consists of two side by side mansions: the Bester Town Home (circa 1832) and the Hampson Home (circa 1835). They are located at 51 and 55 East Main Street in North East.

Common rooms for guests are located in the Bester Town House and include:

The Library was once a stagecoach tavern in the late 1800's. The cozy room is now adorned with a fireplace, hardwood floor, beamed ceilings, an eclectic book collection, TV and VHS player, games and videotapes. There is always a table with a jigsaw puzzle begging to be finished, and room for board or card games.

The Parlor has a comfortable conversation area. Furnishings include a tall cherry secretary with antique porcelain skaters and marble topped tables. It is a perfect spot for socializing with other guests or enjoying daily hors d'oeuvres.

The Dining Room has a carved fireplace mantel, numerous built in china cabinets, dark stained hardwood floors, and a large antique sideboard with an interesting history. An oriental patterned rug sets off the intricately inlaid table. If you are lucky a seasonal gingerbread building will be on display. Enjoy breakfast in this elegant atmosphere.

As an alternative to the more formal Dining Room, the Sun Porch is a light and airy room with a full view of the surrounding gardens. Eat your breakfast, and read the newspaper to the sound of chirping birds.

The Common Rooms offer an elegant setting for your next small event. The setting and service can make any occasion special.

The two buildings are among the oldest brick residences in North East, with interesting history. Both homes were constructed by carpenter Nathaniel Norris beginning in 1832. The Bester Town Home was built in the fashionable Federal style, featuring an elliptical arch window with a fanlight and decorative stonework over the front entrance. The roof added in the Victorian style is embellished with overhangs and curved.

North East is nestled among the fragrant vineyards that hug the southern shore of Lake Erie. Our vineyards also form part of the Chautauqua Wine Trail, producing wines for all tastes from fruity native Labruscas and exquisite French-American wines to European-style Chardonnays and Rieslings. Tour any of the five local wineries and sample their award winning wines.

Relax and visit the many antique shops in the general vicinity, ride your bike along the Seaway Trail, have a well-paced game of golf, or experience NASCAR racing at the Lake Erie Speedway, NASCAR's newest track.

Lake Erie itself is a vast natural resource that offers exceptional sailing, fishing, swimming, picnicking and beach combing. The town's public marina is a mere three miles from the Grape Arbor Bed & Breakfast.
