An intimate and gracious home, the Daniels-Stenhouse is located two blocks from downtown Goldsboro with its brick sidewalks, historic lighting and benches, and extensive landscaping. Neighboring homes, circa 1870 - 1920, in the nationally certified historic district, are single family residences that have been restored and are well maintained. |

The original exterior of the 1888 Victorian gem, with wrap-around porch, displays a copper metal roof, and wood siding painted grey with violet, copper, and ivory trim. Over sixty antique glass windows, hand-stripped entry doors and natural fish scale trim showcase the restoration completed in 2001.
The home's interior has five window bays, hand-stripped wood floors, horse-hair plaster walls and an eclectic mix of fine art paintings with period antiques and contemporary furnishings. An intimate palette enhances the non-chemical and non-smoking environment. Smoking is permitted on the private balcony and porches/deck.
The cactus, blackberry, peach, and pansy rooms feature antique metal beds and comfortable sitting areas.

Guests are invited to take a leisurely stroll and enjoy the flower fragrances and luscious foliage at the Plum Tree Gallery Gardens across the street. Fine dining restaurants and antique shops are located downtown within walking distance. Goldsboro is full of legendary treasures. Both the Civil War Trail and Mountain to Sea Bike Trail travel past the Plum Tree Gardens.
Guests may enjoy our Social Hour with local wines and Wisconsin cheeses in front of a toasty wood-burning fire in the formal living room or relaxing with balmy breezes on the front porch. The antique swing on the screened-in-porch offers seclusion to read, relax or just enjoy the sweet scent of gardenia, mimosa, flowering sage, magnolia, and wisteria.
Art exhibits rotate every 2 months to feature the work of certified American Indians, local painters, photographers, potters, quilters, jewelers, wood carvers and stain glass artisans. Refer to homepage for reception dates and other activities such as Tasting Parties.
