The Bahaffer Guest House
COMPLETELY
REMODELED An old house built
in the early 1900's was remodeled into a more modern facility to provide
comfortable accommodations for our guests, whether it be overnight, weekend or
for several days. We have tried to incorporate the newer conveniences while
keeping the charm and uniqueness of the original structure. An antique piece
of leaded glass has been placed in the new front door to add a warm glow to the
living room. The hardwood floors have been restored to their original natural
beauty. New electrical and plumbing systems have been installed and the
air-conditioning and heating system has been updated for the comfort of our
guests.
KITCHEN
FACILITIES
The
kitchen contains a coffeemaker, toaster, microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher
with all the necessary dishes and utensils for breakfast to start your day on a
positive note. The fixings for the continental breakfast will consist of fresh
fruit, juice, coffee, tea, dry cereals and bread or muffins.
CONVENIENT
The Bahaffer House is only a short walk from downtown, less than one block, where there are several interesting business establishments that you will enjoy as you make a tour of the courthouse square
SIGHTSEEING
The
Chamber of Commerce has several brochures which detail the many interesting
places that can be seen in and around Mason. Their office is located on the
north side of the square and they will be happy to provide any information that
you might need.
HOW IT WAS NAMED
When
our children were growing up the house was owned by Mrs. Ida Mae Vandivere. Our
daughter loved to go next door to see her but she couldn't pronounce "Vandivere"
so she called her "Bahaffer". When we were choosing a name Jean had
the idea of calling it The Bahaffer House in memory of Mrs. Vandivere.
BEDROOMS
The
bedrooms are a mixture of new and old with some antique furniture and some new.
The two full size beds and two single beds provide sleeping accommodations for
up to six persons.
PRIVACY FENCE
The
back yard has a privacy fence. Guests may venture outside to enjoy the lovely
pecan trees, Jean's Flower Garden, or just sit for a moment of quietness and
solitude while watching the squirrels, butterflies, hummingbirds and various
other birds. If you prefer you may sit on the front porch and watch the
"world go by".
