Room Descriptions for The Pickford House Bed and Breakfast
The Mary Pickford Room
The Mary Pickford room, one of our premier rooms, features French blue satin draperies with rose accent hues. French bisque lamps light the bedsides. The antique fireplace mantle is the framework for a portrait of Mary Pickford. The large bay window provides a cozy seating area for sipping and reading. A beautiful Parrish print hangs over the custom dual headboard. Long stem roses whose color is selected to match the decor add their special finishing touch that makes the room a wonderful place. The Mary Pickford room is the largest in the house and can accommodate a rollaway bed.
Douglas Fairbanks Room
At The Pickford House the Douglas Fairbanks room is a large and handsomely furnished resting place. Doug lived very much like a great and beloved king and you will too with the huge king size bed, fireplace, and sumptuous antiques.
The Barrymore Room
Dominated by its antique queen size bed, the room dedicated to the family Barrymore features the etchings of Lionel Barrymore and photography of John Sr., and Ethyl. The sunny end room is done in tones of green and yellow with black draperies for those who wish to sleep in. A view of the surrounding hills can be seen from the seating area. The room is small and cozy and features the Pickford House's only queen bed which was custom made to fit on the very spectacular bed frame. Cozy robes await you in the closet. Cable TV and a dozen fresh long stem yellow roses are in place to enhance your stay.
Rudolph Valentino Room
One of the Pickford House's premier rooms, the Valentino features a large photo, from one of the actors' films, over the antique fireplace mantel. The antique furnishing and accessories are uniquely matched to the royal colors that enhance the romantic setting. The armoire holds cozy bathrobes for the guests' use. The room has two custom double beds and can accommodate four persons, plus will hold a fold-away bed as well. The mountain views are soothing and beautiful. The beds sometimes reflect that someone may have visited without first checking in. We wonder if Rudy may have stopped by on his way to the Castle?
Clara Bow Room
Named for the famous "IT" girl, the Bow room shows the femininity of ruffled pillows and curtains, while acknowledging the masculinity of strong accent colors on the walls and bedspread, it is favored by those who like the "Old Fashioned Look" of the decor used by many of our ancestors. Early American antiques and a dozen fresh roses are features of the room. The colors are antique rose, soft mauve and deep wines and greens. Slip into the cozy bathrobes provided in the armoire and sip your wine while watching TV or reading.
Norma Talmadge Room
Dedicated to the three Talmadge sisters, Norma, Constance and Natalie. The Talmadge is a bright cheerful room with a dual king bed. It features lovely authentic antiques which add to its beauty. The colors are apricot, orange to yellow tones with green accents. This sunny, cheerful room is a favorite of many guests who return regularly for its sunny disposition and restful atmosphere. As in all Pickford House rooms, robes wait in the beautiful antique armoire for your comfort. A dozen fresh matching roses enhance your space with fragrance.
Lillian Gish Room
The peach satin draperies in the Gish room reflect the simple elegance of Ms Gish's time and personality. The room's dual king bed with soft print bedspread and cozy seating offers spacious comfort of the guests, while the fabulous antique armoire makes a statement of quality and substance that seems to dominate this special room. Ms Gish has been known to gently remind guests of her occasional presence, especially near her birthday. The uniquely decorated ceiling may at times reflect her date of birth, 10/14/1893. Ms Gish was last seen in Cambria, which she loved, when she was 93 years old and was said to be as lovely as ever. We cherish her.
Harold Lloyd Room
Our Harold Lloyd room is richly decorated with period antiques, including a working ceiling fan. You will love the satin bed spread, armoire, tassled lamp shades and warm colors that fill this quiet end room.
