Welcome to the
Bailey House
~ Upstairs Tour ~
And here we find the Six
Upstairs Bedrooms.
Each has its former hotel room number on the door.
"Right this way, please..."
The look and feel
upstairs is virtually the same as it was during the golden years at Bailey's
between two Great Wars. The rooms are setup just as they were then -
you can almost our guests from decades gone by, as they unpack and relax after
their journey up the mountain by the Bailey's Hotel Stage.
As you ascend the stairs, please notice the six rooms off the common
hallway. And note that each door is marked with a brass numeral
(just like in the old days).
The single shared bathroom at the top of the stairs has both a claw-foot tub
and a built-in shower. The common bathroom was the customary arrangement
during the first half of the 20th century, and is still widely used in Europe
today.
The Blue Room
Turning to the right you find Room #1. It occupies a corner of the second
story with a window to the east, and another to the north overlooking the
meadow. This room provides the best of the morning light and would suit an
early riser.
The Blue Room has a standard double bed and an
interior adjoining door (lockable) to Room #2 on the left. There has been
a console-type treadle sewing machine and antique rocker in this room for as
long as we can remember.
Please note that each of the antique bed frames were used at the resort
during the 1920s, and each bed is covered with the original style of hand sewn
antique quilt.
The Green Room
To the left we have Room #2 with its two north facing windows and an
unobstructed view of the meadow below.
The
Green Room contains a standard double bed and
has an interior (lockable) door adjoining room #1 on the right.
This room seems to be a favorite of long term guests - we were told that
this was Cecil B. DeMille's room while he was on the mountain filming the silent
movie "The Virginian" in 1914.
Please see "Our History" page for the story and some photos.
The Bridal Suite
And it's not just a clever name. Over the years Room #3 has been the
traditional honeymooner's suite, providing a welcome evening's sanctuary for
many a newly-wed couple. Often times the wedding ceremony was
performed under Theodore's hardwood trees in the meadow below.
Fittingly, Room #3 also houses our collection of wedding day photographs
taken at the resort over the years (please see "Our History" page for the story
& some more pictures).
The Bridal Suite
is the largest of the upstairs
rooms containing a queen-sized bed as well as a fine collection of period
furnishings. The north and west facing windows provide a late
morning shaded light that may suggest a more leisurely start to the day
The Twin Bedroom
Located in the southwest corner of the second floor, Room #4 seems to be the
kid's favorite. These matching bed frames were purchased for the resort
around 1910.
 Between
them is another treadle sewing machine that folds down into a table for the
mysterious "disappearing / reappearing seamstress" act
(kids, don't try this at home).
Staying in the room closest to the old General Store and Dance Hall was a
memorable experience.
As
children we all remember going to sleep to the sounds of square dancing on
Saturday nights just outside the windows.
The Walnut Room
 Room #5 is the
most serene retreat in the house.
With a large window to the south, and shaded by a glen of
towering oak trees, the light seems to weave a whimsical tapestry as the summer
winds rustle the dark green canopy overhead (feel a novel coming on?).
But seriously folks, it's a truly lovely environment which
hosts a double bed along with some of the original walnut furnishings brought to
mountain in the 1890s.
An interior adjoining door (lockable) connects to Room #6 on the left.
The Rose Room
 Known for
years as "The Present Room" for the collection of wedding gifts it once
held, Room #6 boasts yet another spiral iron bed frame.
The bed is covered with a handmade quilt composed of multiple antique
handkerchiefs, each an embroidered delight in itself.
The rose room is located at
the top of the stairs, in the southeast corner of the second story and has a
superb morning view.
It has an interior door
(lockable) connecting with room #5 on the right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although
still maintaining the old hotel look and feel,
we now
rent the entire house as a private vacation home
for groups, retreats
and your family functions.
In combination with our historic
Dance Hall, Cabins and Campground,
The Bailey House
makes a great central
location for your event.
