Gra Roy House (Canal View) 9 beds • 7 bedrooms

Why is Gra Roy House special? Some say it's because the home borders the Millrace Canal on half an acre of quiet wooded land & because it's a 5-min walk to Goshen Hospital, Goshen College, Goshen Dam Pond & nature trails. Others note how welcomed them feel. Designed to bring family & friends together, the comfortable home masterfully presents its centerpiece: an inviting dining room where your group—large or small—can enjoy each other’s company over dinner (the table seats up to 12).
