"Welcome to Centennial House, a rambling 17-room estate built by master craftsmen in 1811, that offers spacious guest rooms and an attention to detail that will transport you back to country life in nineteenth century New England. You'll love our comfortable beds, private baths and ample country breakfasts with homemade baked goods. We love our proximity to mountains and strikingly beautiful sections of the historic Connecticut River, accessible in season by narrated cruises describing the historic and environmental heritage of this 'National Historic River', or by canoe and kayak. Centennial House , like its surroundings in one of New England's best-preserved villages, is rich in history and perfect for school and college visits, vacations, romantic weekend getaways and special occasions. Flexible lodging options include single rooms and two-room suites. Once the residence of the Northfield Academy president, Centennial House welcomes current and prospective students, parents and alumni of nearby independent schools, the Five College consortium (including the University of Massachusetts), Keene State College, the School for International Training in Brattleboro and many other educational institutions. The many schools and colleges in the region give it a vitality that rivals urban areas but with a slower pace and scenic beauty. Weekenders, vacationers and business travelers will find our location off Interstate 91 and near Route 2/Mohawk Trail convenient to attractions and restaurants. Call us today for dates, rates, theme weekends and discount packages that highlight all there is to see and do in every season!
