The space
Come inside Gracewood to experience total relaxation in this spacious estate home! Lovingly renovated in 2022, this 1800s house is full of character, charm and countless whimsical features. Enjoy the fully stocked kitchen, complete with plentiful accommodations for both cooks and their guests to chat over morning coffee or cocktails at night. Enter the formal dining room with seating for 16, then pass through the wood-paneled main hallway to the cozy living room complete with tv, a dedicated work space and piano. The main stairway leads to the upper alcove, complete with a futon and a comfy chair to read a book while you view the pines on the back hillside. The three spacious bedrooms include a king, four queens, bunkbed and sleeper sofa and tv's. You’ll also find two full bathrooms on this level. Head over to the second floor loft which features four twin trundle beds and a TV with gaming system. Pass the arched window looking out to the carriage house and your path will take you down the back stairs and find yourself again in the family-friendly kitchen.
Guest access
Gracewood is set back 1/4 mile from the road up a long drive, nestled among towering pines, oaks and maples with plenty of room for parking your toys. The main house includes three porches, all of which are attached and a fire pit on the back lawn. The property is located on six acres which you're free to roam, and includes a pond, carriage house, potter's kiln and barn (although these buildings are off-limits to guests). The house has a view of a large meadow with vistas in every direction. You can enjoy views of the sunset and sunrise from the porches, and you'll see plenty of flora and fauna from the big bay window in the kitchen. We often watch deer in the front yard while we eat dinner in the kitchen.
Other things to note
We lovingly restored this house in 2022, and named it Gracewood after our mothers. They taught us the value of gathering, and we're excited to share this wonderful old house with our family, friends and new guests. We hope you'll enjoy this place as much as we do, and make new memories here with your own families and friends. While the interior of the home is nearly fully updated, the grounds and other buildings will remain a work in progress for some time, as we continue to improve the property and restore the natural beauty of this amazing place.

Summary: This property is in a tranquil setting and is a century home that has been restored and modernized with love and imagination. The kitchen with a large island and two seating areas is equipped with all you need to manage any cooking or baking you plan to do. The beautiful, huge dining room can comfortably seat at least 20. The living room invites a group to play games, sit and read, play the piano or gather and converse. There are two outside seating areas. One has a glass topped table and chairs. There is a fire pit and Adirondack chairs. The washer and dryer are in a utility area which we used to store coolers, etc. The back enclosed porch was great for morning coffee and conversation. Upstairs the bathrooms were modernized and the towels were plentiful and nice. Each bedroom is unique and all of us were comfortable and slept well. We only had one ten year old with us and it was easy to keep him busy with fishing in a small pond, jigsaw puzzles, Lego and campfires. We had a fabulous time and Mark and Rebecca were easy to communicate with and have done a great job of restoration. GraceWood is named after their mothers and their Mothers would be proud!The towns around Mayville were fun to explore. We rented a pontoon boat on Lake Chatauqua, rode the ferry from Stow to Bemis Point, went to a vineyard for wine tasting, had campfires, played games, had the ability for quiet or private time in the house, and went hiking in several areas. It was perfection. Thank you M and R!
