Celebrate Your Special Occasion
The former estate house of Frank Bailey called “Munnysunk” was originally built sometime in the 1800’s. After Frank purchased the property, he hired Craig Severance to renovate it, keeping the country charm feel of this neocolonial home.
Today, Bailey House and its surrounding property, is a lovely space for hosting wedding ceremonies and receptions for up to 100 guests.
