"Approaching The Griffin House Bed and Breakfast, the appearance is of an impressive country home set alongside a meandering stream, with large pine and shade trees adorning its entrance. An 1890's Carriage House, and the original 1840's Settlement home compliment the two acre estate. As inviting as it is, the understated exterior of this modest mansion cannot prepare the visitor for the exquisitely crafted interior that awaits them. Finely carved American Chestnut, from a breed of tree that no longer exists on this continent, fills every niche in the home, from the ornate main staircase, to the elegant beaded wood archways and even the intricately honed quarter round at the baseboard. Floors of herring bone oak, fireplaces of molded brick, windows of stained glass and original gas light fixtures make the house a virtual museum for guests.
While one of the four guest rooms at The Griffin House is devoted to the historic Scheidell family that built and lived in the house for three generations, the others tell a tale of the illustrious music careers that touched the lives and indeed were lived by Paul and Irene Griffin before their bed and breakfast venture.
