Come and enjoy a stay at our Queen Ann Victorian style home, built in 1897, by J.A. Decker. He was a wealthy lumber baron and banker, who built this impressive 30 room home for his family. As you arrive, you will be welcomed by the front wrap around porch with pedestal columns and a double entry door with cut glass. As you enter, you will be embraced with unique cherry and oak woodwork, stained glass windows, and beautiful antiques throughout. The large stained glass window that beautifies the grand cherry staircase, welcomes you to the second and third floors. The third floor was originally a ball room which was later modified into guests rooms. These modifications were made by the Mandeville family who bought the home in the early 1900's. As a result of the stock market crash the home was then converted into a bed and breakfast.

Towanda, the county seat was first established by the Moravian Indians. New England settlers began building and settling in the early 1800's. By 1840 the census showed Bradford County with a population of 32,769. By the late 1800's the lumber days made the area very prosperous for many.
