Historic town of Clarendon Springs ~1/4 mile downhill from the house, highlight Clarendon House (c. 1835, National Register of Historic Places) -- see photo of painting by James Hope.

As a result, please also note that the house is not appropriate for unchaperoned college age groups, and children under the age of 13 based on prior experiences. Also, a $50/person/night guest fee applies to groups larger than four (max occupancy allowed is 7); There is also a $200 cleaning fee.
