Trowbridge House is located on 31 privately situated and beautifully landscaped acres only one mile from the heart of Millerton, New York. This historic house, built in the 1700s, remained in the Trowbridge family until 1948. The grand house has been the scene of many memorable events and has about it an air of permanence and peacefulness. Trowbridge House has been updated and added to over the years and was most recently renovated in 2003. The house maintains it’s original detail and charm while offering the comforts and amenities that have made our guests return time after time. Our dining room floor was originally part of the stables; the living room retains a dumbwaiter used to bring coal up from the cellar on cold winter nights. Rumor has it that the basement was used as a stash house for the speakeasy that occupied a spot across the street during prohibition. This is a house that has seen its share of life.

It's current owners Michael Colberg, Gene Parseghian and their daughter Rachel Colberg-Parseghian carry on the tradition of extending hospitality by opening their home for use as a bed and breakfast. Its expansive public rooms are furnished in a witty yet respectful mix of furnishings that give Trowbridge House a sophisticated and modern yet comfortable and homey feel. Original art and artifacts gathered over many years blend together to complement and add to the house’s innate charm. Each room has been furnished with a combination of original art, interesting antiques and comfortable seating. While respecting tradition, Trowbridge house is a hip and comfortable place to stay.

Guests often relax in one of the living room’s many seating areas or curl up in the cozy den. The living room is enormous and is equally suitable for intimate chats or large group discussions. The den, while good sized, is more intimate. Both rooms have well used fireplaces. The den fireplace is surrounded by hand-painted bird tiles that are original to the house and add to its charm. Guests often come into this room to listen to music or find a quiet spot to read. Both rooms have excellent sound systems and guests are welcome make a selection from our extensive music collection. It is important to us that our guests feel welcome and cared for in our home.
