The
Fo'c's'le - The best room- and that Jacuzzi!!! -- Amy and Michael
Martins, Jersey City, New Jersey
Just
a short distance form the parking area, and off the stone
terrace you wqill find the private outdoor entrance of The
Fo'c'sle, a romantic lower level accommodation built in 1997.
Fo'c'sle is a nautical shortening for the term "forecastle"
- an area at the bow of the ship and often the sleeping quarters
of sailors on square riggers. The Fo'c'sle is a lovely, spacious
room with solid beams and wide pine floorboards. It's two-person
heated Jacuzzi tub with mirrored backdrop situated in the
bedroom overlooking a woodburning fireplace makes it one of
The Inn's most popular accommodations. A comfortable bathroom
is on the left with a pedestal sink, bidet and large shower.
The guest room's bed is a queen, with night tables and reading
lamps on either side. A hanging closet and spacious shelves
behind the fireplace provide storage for guest clothing. There
are a set of doors which adjoin The Fo'c'sle and its neighbor,
the Captain's Cabin, which can be opened to create a suite.
This accommodation, while not built to ADA specifications,
is quite easily accessible to a handicapped person who is
not wheelchair-bound, and the common areas of the Inn may
be reached with a minimal number of steps.
As with all our guest rooms, The Fo'c'sle has a private bathroom,
air conditioning (in-season), cable television, a VCR (we
have movies for all ages), AM-FM clock radio/cassette player
and a telephone. All beds have special reading lights or side
tables with reading lamps. We also have CD players which our
guests may use in their rooms. Firewood for this room is provided
at no charge.
