each detail is carefully selected. We attempt to

WINGS TV SHOW SET
"It was exciting not only to be on the set but to experience the
incredible camaraderie among the entire ‘Wings’ team (the
innkeepers). If you are a fan of the NBC television show "Wings,"
you may find the Century House sign or facade familiar. Executive
producers David Lee, Peter Casey and David Angell chose the Century
House as their B&B when first visiting the island in 1989 to scout
locations. In the following years, scenes of the inn have often
been featured on the show, and the innkeepers were invited to
watch a taping and to be extras!) of a September, 1994 episode.
