The Simonics, transplants from Cleveland, Ohio, fell in love with the central Massachusetts area since first visiting Sherry's Sturbridge sister thirty years ago. Annual visits deepened their affection for the area, its history, and its convenient location, which is rural but midway between and easily accessible to Boston and Hartford. Professional and family responsibilities delayed the decision until 2001, when they decided to relocate and build their home as a B & B.
Designed and decorated by Sherry, a commercial artist, the early American style is visible throughout: stenciled walls and floors in the entry, lavatory, and three-season porch; stone fireplaces; wide-plank floors; tin lighting fixtures throughout the home; and original murals of the local countryside covering the four walls of the dining room. Sherry also tends the hillside herb garden. Bill, who did much of the interior work and manages the B & B, has discovered latent talents like baking and hearth cooking. His delicious cherry almond scones are always available and the early morning smell of his bacon cooking on the hearth acts as a very gentle alarm clock.
