But today The Fan House is also about what it has become 160 years later:
Original floorboards measuring 18 inches
from trees long obsolete
Woodwork that speaks to the transition
from simple cottage to the more ornate fin-de-siecle
Textures of heirloom tapestries
complimenting paintings gleaned from around the world
Senses that luxuriate in 300+ thread
count linens, down comforters and wrap-around bath sheets
Relaxing massage treatments in the privacy of your own room
Private yoga sessions
Sensibilities reminiscent of a Mediterranean patois in the choice of fabrics and décor
The Chateauguay across the steep incline to the brook, a close-to forest primeval
Birch trees and perennial gardens
Leisurely home-crafted breakfasts
And much more than we can elucidate here
