The grounds and gardens are yours to enjoy and explore. Take a stroll around the garden or sit and ponder the pond. The Home and Garden The Inn is located in a modern home built in 1980 with soaring roof lines, an attached greenhouse and fish pond, and sprawling deck. The home was preserved from demolition when it was moved to the property in 1989 from its original location in the South Hill neighborhood, just outside of Fairhaven. Sehome Garden was established in 1989, originally planted with over 300 varieties of trees and shrubs. The garden is developed into several areas which, along with the borrowed landscape of the surrounding Arboretum, creates a rich, complex landscape that feels larger than its modest size. The Japanese garden, food and flower garden, orchards, greenhouses, native forest and many special plant collections are all centered around a large pond and pathway in the style of a classic Japanese stroll or promenade garden. Pet Friendly We aim to be truly dog friendly. We welcome our guests to bring their pets along on their visit and be at home. We have two very friendly chocolate labs, Porter and Odetta, and one rather outgoing cat, Sir Winston, who all love other 4-legged visitors. The property is a fully fenced acre that is great fun to explore and play in. We provide treats and doggie bags upon your arrival. There is no additional fee for your canine companions, just be mindful, accompany them on any outdoor forays and clean up!
