The Freedom House
Herbal Sitting Room & Apothecary
Step into a room designed for exhale — a warm, glowing haven where soft light spills from crystal chandeliers and settles onto a wide wooden counter, inviting you to slow down. Leather chairs hug the corners of the space, creating intimate pockets for conversation, reflection, or quiet restoration. Along the wall, shelves are lined with jars, vials, and vessels filled with herbs, teas, spices, and tinctures from near and far — each one holding a medicine of its own, ready to soothe the body and settle the soul.
Here, visitors gather around the counter to sip fragrant teas blended just for them, selecting from exotic leaves, roots, flowers, and resins. It is a space where stories are shared, worries are set down, and small rituals of care begin. This apothecary is more than a room — it is a meeting place for healing, nourishment, and connection.
Two-Bedroom
This serene room, designed for two, offers a gentle refuge for conversation, rest, and late-night connection. Soft natural light pours through tall Victorian windows, illuminating twin beds dressed in crisp linens and warm earth-tones.

Located inside a beautifully restored Victorian home with 4½ baths and a full kitchen, this room invites you to wake slowly, stretch fully, and greet the day with a curated or self-guided slate of healing experiences through Restore Forward.

Hallway of Quiet Discovery
Beautiful hallways lead you into discovery, revealing one sacred space after another.
In this historic Victorian home, the architecture itself was designed for breath, a front door and a back door perfectly aligned to welcome cross-winds that once cooled the house with the soft scent of trees, earth, and open sky.
As you walk the length of the hallway, light dances across carved woodwork, and every step invites you deeper into reflection, restoration, and the quiet magic of a home built to harmonize with nature. Here, the air still carries that gentle promise: you are safe, you are held, and you are welcome to wander into what is waiting to heal you.

Here, conversations deepen, decisions crystallize, and transformational leaps occur.
Two deep, welcoming sofas face each other in gentle invitation, anchoring the space for intimate dialogue.
