The Haymaker's Room - Queen size, solid cherry bed. Sink in room, small bath in former closet. High ceiling, overhead fan. Antiques, 1933 magazines. On the dresser you'll find Dick's forty page treatise, "The Haymaker's Room." It wanders from his recollections of haymaking with horses to the role of MAC through MSU in agricultural development, depression era bankers, and more than you ever wanted to know about manure. JoAnn thinks it combines wonderfully with a solid bed and the hum of an overhead fan to make for an early and good night's sleep, but Dick is a little sensitive about his writing, so humor him. During the summer you may smell freshly mown hay through the open window!


The Milktester's Room - Queen size solid walnut bed. Small private bath. High ceiling, overhead fan. Small deck with stairway to tennis/basketball court. "And how did this room get it's name?" Dick was afraid you'd never ask. But in case you did, he wrote, "The Milktester's Room," only 23 pages long. You'll learn a lot about cows and sheep; their husbandry, breeding, habits, and history. In case you find Dick overly attached to the subject, you should know he started as a farm veterinarian. He's not selling as well as James Herriot. From the deck watch the wood's edge for deer, the sky for stars, or, as we say in the country, "Listen for the corn growing."


The Thresher's Room - Double bed, ceiling fan. Shares bath with one other room. Our largest room; has desk, can accommodate a child or pet.* The cherry bed is historic, both Dick and his father having been born in it. Naturally you'll be interested in reading about threshers and a variety of only vaguely connected subjects such as German prisoners of war, animal cloning, and a biblical reference to sheep. This is the room that may be visited by Isaiah Allen's first wife's ghost. We don't think she really comes anymore but regular visitor, Randy, thinks differently. * Well behaved members of either category are welcome at Bon Accord! Read or work at the desk late, you're on the west side so the sun won't wake you up so early.


The Hired Girl's Room - Double bed. Shares bathroom with another room. This small cozy room is handy as it is right next to the bathroom it shares. While most early B&Bs had shared baths, we know it is becoming less popular, so, except during our busiest times, by advance arrangement for an additional $10 we will agree not to rent the other room. Yes, Dick's grandmother Anna, who raised seven children, tended the chickens and helped milk the cows, had a hired girl. Learn all about her, the rest of Dick's ancestors and other selected short (usually) topics.
