A Home with a Story

​

From its original hardwood floors and historic fireplaces to its antique furnishings, vintage décor, and preserved architectural details, every room tells part of the home's nearly century-long story.

Historic photographs, original family touches, beautiful wallpaper, and carefully curated interiors create an atmosphere that feels warm, welcoming, and authentically Southern.

This isn't simply a place to stay—it's a place to gather.

The Experience

​

Imagine beginning the morning with coffee on the expansive front porch beneath its traditional blue haint ceiling before walking downtown for breakfast or shopping with friends.

Spend the afternoon enjoying tea in the garden, reading in the library, relaxing in a hammock, or preparing a favorite family recipe together in the kitchen. As evening arrives, conversations naturally gather around the dining table, stories are shared late into the night, and memories are created that last long after the weekend ends.

The Rourk House lends itself beautifully to experiences such as:

• Afternoon tea gatherings

• Garden parties

• Puzzle weekends

• Cookbook dinners

• Storytelling evenings

• Murder mystery parties

• Wedding weekend preparations

• Relaxing family retreats

Every stay becomes part of the home's continuing story.
