Picture by SANDY McCOOK 4th August '17 Your Home Feature. The Old Parsonage, Farr, Aberarder, Inverness-shire, home of Trevor and Heather Colbourne. While £870 today seems a teeny sum for a grand period country house , in 1882 it was considered a small fortune. In fact, it was so much that the Episcopalian Church building the manse at Croachy by Farr, ran out of money. Now called The Old Parsonage, the house has been owned by Trevor and Heather Colbourne for nearly a decade. During that time Trevor researched the history of the house. “An Episcopalian Church was built here in 1868 then eight years later they needed to build accommodation for the vicar. I found in the library, an old advert inviting tradesmen to come and help build the new parsonage. “From memory, the whole house cost £870 to build but they were short by £100 so had to seek public subscription and ask people to help pay for it to be finished.” This beautifully appointed home was designed by architect Alexand...

Treehouse Villas at Saratoga Springs

by Debra Martin KomaAllEars® Senior Editor Feature Article This article appeared in the June 15, 2009 Issue #508 of ALL EARS® (ISSN: 1533-0753) When I first started visiting Walt Disney World , in the early '90s, my family and I stayed several times at what was then known as the Disney Institute -- now Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa. The studio villas there were spacious, but never fully booked, so we got some great rates. But when staying there I used to spy these really cool houses on stilts -- they were called Treehouses, and they accommodated larger families , so I didn't ever think I'd stay there. But I really wanted to! I had this romanticized notion of having a special place hidden up among the branches and leaves -- conjured up images of secret clubhouses built by ambitious dads for their kids. That's what the treehouses looked like to me, and I secretly plotted to find a way to stay there some day. When the Treehouses were closed in 2002, that dream wa...

Looking for a Bed-and-Breakfast?

Natives know where to go for a real San Francisco experience : the city's neighborhoods. What better way to make family and friends comfortable than to have them stay close by in one of Noe Valley's guesthouses. While many local guesthouses and bed-and-breakfasts have been hit by the current economic slump --and by the competition from a drop in downtown hotel prices --the good news is guests no longer have to book six months in advance and can sometimes negotiate a lower room rate . Still, most guesthouses report business is steady, at least on the weekends. In Noe Valley we are fortunate to have a mix of lodgings that serve a wide range of needs. You can find a cottage with handicapped access for grandparents, several places that welcome children, or a quiet room in a house, for a friend. In this survey, which updates our B&B roundups in the June 1997 and May 1999 issues, the Voice uncovered a variety of hospitality styles: a European- style tourist home , a fully furn...
