The inn ("home") was built in 1926, and is a two-story, six-bay, frame building with Colonial Revival and American Craftsman style design influences. It has a hipped roof and features a full-width hip-roofed one-story porch supported by slender Tuscan order columns. Also on the property are three contributing guest cottages built about 1926: the "Paulownia" Cottage, "Boxwood" Cottage, and "Twin Poplar" Cottage. The property was originally developed by the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks of the Southern Railway System as a summer retreat. The union retained the property until 1962. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
