This is such a lovely venue for events! It has been so beautifully cared for and maintained. All the staff are exceptional and go above and beyond to make it a memorable day.

The home is a beautiful space that can be rented out for different events. The rooms are a good size and the bedrooms take a step back in time. The owner was touring guests around and is open to working with the community to take a step back in time.

The Ellis House carries its history in the details. From the craftsmanship of its woodwork to the proportions of each room, there is a sense that the house belongs to another time.
Those original qualities give every space a character that could never be recreated from scratch. Rather than feeling like a museum, the house still feels warm, personal, and meant to be lived in
Its past is present everywhere, quietly shaping the experience of being here. Every room offers another piece of the story.

Caring for a house like this means allowing its story to continue. Thoughtful restoration preserves what makes The Ellis House distinctive while giving it new purpose for the people who visit today.
Old details live alongside new traditions, celebrations, stays, and experiences. Each gathering adds another layer without taking away from what came before.
The goal is not simply to preserve a historic home, but to keep it active, loved, and relevant. In that way, The Ellis House continues to become part of new stories as much as it holds onto its own.

Ellis House has long been a place where hospitality and culture quietly meet.
Each season, we open the home for a small collection of thoughtfully curated gatherings designed to invite conversation, creativity, and reflection within these historic rooms.
This spring, our collection explores the artistry and cultural story of hats — from the careful study of millinery materials, to an evening devoted to their history and social meaning, and finally to a softly whimsical tea experience that celebrates the spirit of spring.
I look forward to welcoming you into the home.
