Our Historic Inns

Over the course of filming our TV show Restoration Road, we restore historic homes to become unique overnight rentals. The 1783 Augustus Peck House from Connecticut and the 1840 Barn from New York we moved to Deary, Idaho. And the 1817 Mohawk Valley Inn we moved to Waco, Texas.

These unique inns offer surpassing comfort in historic buildings that you will not forget. Each house is built with modern amenities, but they retain their historic character and feel. You can follow the links below to each one and enjoy a unique stay at one of our historic homes like no other get away experience you have ever had.

The 1817 Mohawk Valley Inn

Waco, Texas

We restored and relocated the Mohawk Valley Inn to Waco, Texas as the perfect accommodation for those looking for a truly unique vacation experience. You can view the entire restoration process, documented as part of the Magnolia Network show Restoration Road, on the Discovery network.

The home is available as both a full house reservation of four suites, or as single suites.

Deary, Idaho

We carefully dismantled, moved, and restored this house, originally built in 1783 in Connecticut, to Deary, Idaho in 2020 as part of the Magnolia Network Restoration Road TV show.

The house sleeps six. It features original hand-hewn oak timbers, hand-planed doors and woodwork, 12-over-12 pane windows, and a working brick pizza oven.

Windham, New York

Located in the Catskill Mountains in beautiful Windham, New York on 5.4 acres, this unique and historic house has no comparison in America. It was built by the first pioneer Dutch family to the Hudson Valley at Saugerties.

We relocated this all-stone house in 2021 and completed the meticulous restoration in 2022. The total footage is 2,000 square feet and features all original wide floorboards, massive beams, leaded glass windows, and all hand-crafted doors, stairs, cabinetry and woodwork. Though this house is 279 years old, it has completely new utilities, heating, air conditioning, appliances and is completely energy efficient.

From the hand-split cedar shake roof down to the hand wrought nails, this house is a rare piece of pioneer America.

Deary, Idaho

The 1840 Tamarack Barn was built near the historic Mohawk River in New York. It is a classic English-framed barn with heavy, hand-hewn hemlock wood timbers. It has a king-sized bed in the loft and a queen sofa bed in the living room. Surrounded by tall pine trees, it is located outside the town of Deary, Idaho near Moscow, Idaho, home of the University of Idaho and nearby Washington State University. Deary serves as an outdoor wonderland of mountains and rivers, with some of the best hiking and mountain biking trails. It is also known for world-class trout, salmon, and steelhead fishing and big game hunting, as well as the gateway to the Bitterroot Wilderness, the largest wilderness area in the forty-eight states. When in Deary, be sure to visit the Pie Safe Bakery and the nationally award-winning Brush Creek Creamery, makers of many of the finest artisan cheeses in North America.
