The Painted Lady is a classic Victorian, with its multiple gables and its shingled, windowed turret, replete with wrought iron embellishments. The classic exterior, welcoming entry and Eastlake Victorian newel post herald the myriad and multi-faceted Victorian nuances to follow. Built in 1882 and commissioned by the Drew family, each room is named after a family member. Each of Painted Lady's nine comfortable and charming rooms is individually furnished and features such warm touched as hand-painted furniture, antiques, beautiful Oriental carpets, Laura Ashley- esque textiles and lots of whimsy. All feature private bath and the unexpected indulgences-gas fireplaces, balconies, skylights and whirlpool bath tubs. The gracious soaring tower, which includes a common sitting area replete with "Alice in Wonderland" hand-painted mural, overlooks Sandwich Village Jarves Street. Down comforters with decorator duvets, distinctive window treatments, artwork and objects d' art round out the decor. While Painted Lady ubiquitous amenities keep the world partially at bay, in-room phones, television and wireless internet mean contact with the "outside" is available, if guests wish it. The first floor occupies the Painted Lady café serving contemporary “comfort” food open for lunch and dinner. View the rooms
