The stand-alone heritage lodge, built at the beginning of the 1900s, and now restored to modern splendor, contains two bedrooms, a cozy living room, and an open-space kitchen and dining area. Artemisia is inspired by the fierce Renaissance female artist, Artemisia Gentileschi, who encouraged us to handcraft this lodge into a pocketful of whimsical luxury while jettisoning all conventionality out of its century-old windows. Upon entrance, you'll be instantly wowed by the pale robin-egg blue surroundings, which were painstakingly matched to the Arcadian mural on the main wall. Equally, the art deco chrome-and-velvet sofa perfectly blends into the mural, with flashes of hot pink cushions. A selection of curated books are available for those lazy days of lounging in the sun. In the well-equipped kitchen sits a beloved antique table from the 16th century, with Mad-Men style leather upholstered dining chairs. Our collection of artful collages will be sure to inspire many conversations. Downstairs, the bedroom features two Georgian wicker and pine beds alongside a hand painted mural by Jen Robson. An en-suite bathroom here contains a rain shower. Along the sunny stairwell, you'll find the entire top floor devoted to the main bedroom. A gorgeous mural of whimsical woodland hugs one wall where a dedicated workspace can be found. Turquoise beds and gold accents are found throughout here. Step across the hallway to find a truly spacious bathroom with a luxurious bathtub and view of the woods, alongside a rain shower.
