Mary Azarian’s art work displayed has a garden theme and the colors in her art are picked up in the bedding and wool area rugs on the wide planked, black wood original flooring. The branches of the maple trees in the front of the Ardmore almost touch the windows and in the fall there’s beautiful color just outside your windows. Enjoy the sitting area which looks out onto Pleasant Street while you are viewing Mary’s art work and many books. Mary’s art work is featured throughout the Ardmore.

Featuring books by Vermont author Archer Mayor and his critically-acclaimed series of police novels featuring Lt. Joe Gunther of Brattleboro, Vermont. www.archermayor.com Located on the second floor, our Archer Mayor room is a spacious secluded room with a queen size expresso colored farmhouse bed, with two reading lamps above the bed, large sitting area with two rockers, lamp, table and desk where you can enjoy reading an Archer Mayor book in front of the electric mantled fireplace.

Warning: Archer’s books are page turners - you may be up quite late reading to help Lt. Joe Gunther solve his latest case! Art work by Phyllis Chase and Tom Puschock “Archer Mayor doesn’t do quaint. He might use poetic imagery to describe the austere beauty of New England’s rugged mountains and snowbound villages, but as far as their crime content is concerned, his police procedural stories are about as authentic as it gets.” New York Times A private en suite bathroom with marble floor.
