The Centennial House Bed & Breakfast and Event Center

03/19/2026

Dear Friends, Faithful Customers, Neighbors and More,
We're both happy and sad to announce that we've passed the torch at Centennial House to a wonderful new owner. Centennial House B&B will continue and thrive, serving the community, local educational institutions, and the traveling public. We've retired to our former home in Belchertown MA. Verizon is holding our phone service hostage, which apparently is customary when you try to change carriers. We're sorry for the inconvenience and are working to wrestle control away from them so we can communicate more fully. The inn is currently closed for renovations until mid-April. Watch this space for more info and how to make future reservations. In gratitude, Joan and Steve

Just gonna mention it one last time. We have one fabulous queen room still available for Valentine's Day, Saturday, the 14th — the Sturbridge Room features a massive, four-poster queen bed with a pillow-top mattress. And, of course, our breakfasts are pretty great.
Will we see you in Northfield? (Scroll down to all the stuff that's happening that weekend).

Given the weather, this is especially crazy but this Saturday, Feb. 7 is "International Ice Cream for Breakfast Day". So we're dressing up our seasonal pastry with your choice--a scoop of vanilla or our usual whipped cream! Which would YOU prefer, dear readers?
