Near town center, the Bower House was built in 1909 by the Cherry family. This was the same year Hargrave Military Academy was founded. This was the last home of Jesse Hargrave’s youngest child, a daughter, Maggie Cherry. Ms. Cherry was the sister of Hunt Hargrave, one of Hargrave’s founders. The property was sold to Dr. Girard Thompson in 1956 and converted into clinical space serving the Chatham Community. Donnie and Susan Bower purchased the home in 2008 and restored it to elegance. 
 
The Bower House features three second floor bedrooms. These rooms are the Cherry Suite, the Pineapple Guest Room, and the Garden Guest Room. The rooms feature a king sized bed, sleep two adults, and have well-appointed antiques. The Pineapple and Garden guest rooms share a hall bathroom. All rooms have free WiFi. The Sleeping Porch provides these rooms upstairs access to snacks, drinks, a refrigerator, a small library, and coffee. Callands Coffee’s Bower House Blend awaits the sophisticated riser.
 
The home’s common areas feature a T.V., DVDs, and Roku. The home’s front porch is excellent for watching Chatham, entertaining, and wine sampling. The backyard sitting area provides a private, well-lit space, and Cornhole.
 
The Cherry Suite is the largest of the guest rooms. It features its own private spa bathroom with a two person whirlpool tub and a two person shower. An adjoining sitting room has the only in-room T.V. French doors to the main hall also highlight. The Bower House Cherry Suite is a favorite destination for newlyweds. 
 
A full breakfast is offered in the morning. Guests may dine in the formal dining room or on the front porch. Hot breakfast selections include a choice of eggs, including omelets, pancakes, and waffles. The Bower House’s featured dish is a Cherry Stuffed French Toast based on a Good Morning America’s best French Toast recipe. Yogurt, muffins, and other traditional morning foods are also available.
