The discount coincides with some exciting changes at the Guest House at Field Farm, including the refurbishment of the master bedroom. Once the home of modern art collectors Lawrence and Eleanor Bloedel, the Bauhaus-style Guest House displays paintings, sculpture, and furniture from the Bloedel's collection throughout the Guest House and grounds.

"The modern era was epitomized by form and function," explains Innkeeper Robert Chok, "and the refurbishment maintained that integrity while enhancing the use of the property as a bed & breakfast."

Design Within Reach, a San Francisco company that specializes in reproduction furniture, provided replicas of Eileen Gray tables and George Nelson lamps, as well as new pieces in the American Modern style that blend seamlessly with the authentic period furniture in the master bedroom. A redesign of the popular Gallery Room is planned for the spring.

The new member discount will also be offered at the Inn at Castle Hill in Ipswich, which is also introducing new lower off-season rates effective November through April. Once the guesthouse for the 59-room Great House at Castle Hill, the Inn was recently named one of "30 Great U.S. Inns" by Travel & Leisure magazine, and featured in publications such as Town & Country and Victoria.
