Description from owner

Description

Please note: this is a bed and breakfast. The price quoted is per room, (including tax and breakfast). We do try to give a price break for longer stays and multiple rooms.

The Delano Homestead Bed and Breakfast, built in 1832 by one of New England's most prominent families, is a stunning example of transitional/ late Federal / Greek Revival architecture. Located in historic Fairhaven, Massachusetts, the Bed and Breakfast is situated on a quiet, residential street in the heart of the village center, close to the town hall, library, beach, parks, bicycle path, museums, maritime academy, shops, restaurants, fishing piers and working waterfront.

The 10-room, 3,800 square foot Bed and Breakfast, complete with conservatory and green house, framed by stone walls and wrought iron gates, was once the residence of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's mother, grandfather, and great-grandfather. It was FDR's summer and holiday residence into his adult years and was visited by him and Eleanor, even as president and first lady.

The Delano Homestead Bed and Breakfast's Facilities accomodate short-term guests, longer-term guests, and can be rented as a corporate residence and for special events. It has three rooms to choose from:

The Warren Delano Room

The Sara Delano Room

The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Room

Fairhaven is located on Buzzards Bay, between Providence RI and Cape Cod. The towns that are nearby include: Dartmouth, Westport, New Bedford, Mattapoisett, Marion, Acushnet and Freetown.

The Martha's Vineyard Fast Ferry which travels from New Bedford is only a mile away.

Getting around

Once you are here, you can walk to parks, restaurants and marinas. A car is recommended but not a must-have. Fairhaven Center has shopping, eateries, a bike path, churches, a beach and parks.

Interaction with guest

This is a real Bed & Breakfast. The owner lives here and staff come daily. But, we are located in a very quiet and charming area. You can have as much or little interaction with us as you like. We are available to make recommendations, answer any questions, or shoot the breeze. But, we are also aware some guests like privacy and want more of a retreat-like experience. So, it is your call. Let us know if we can be of help.
