Welcome!

Rose of Sharon is a Queen Anne-style Bed & Breakfast in Norwood, NY with a peaceful country home feel. Its pleasant atmosphere will ease you into the unique relaxation of our beautiful North Country.

Our Queen Anne home was built in 1900 by the owner of a local paper mill at a time when the railway was expanding in the North Country. You can still hear the train whistle calling today. This home has its original hardwood floors and woodwork with a wrap around porch. Rose of Sharon sits on a small hilltop where the back of the property overlooks a valley with cornfields and the Raquette River. The sun rises over the front porch and the Iris Room and sets over the distant trees beyond the western valley.

Rose of Sharon is located in the village of Norwood only 6 miles north of Potsdam, about 15 miles east of Canton, and 14 miles south of Massena.

Hosts

Lovers of hospitality, Titus 1:8

Dick is a semi-retired carpenter, an artist, writer, and an avid book lover/collector. Much of his carpentry can be seen around the Potsdam area as well as here in our home. Some of his art is displayed throughout the rooms of Rose of Sharon.

Sharon is a retired home-schooling mom, former owner-operator of Mom's Schoolhouse Diner, does a little journaling, loves baking, house concerts, and convertibles. (especially 1964 1/2 Mustang convertibles!)

Dick and Sharon welcome you to their little "mansion just over the hilltop" for that peaceful, pleasant experience.
