Ideal spots for quiet reflection abound on sloping lawns crossed with pebble paths filled with flower and herb gardens, providing the perfect backdrop for a weekend getaway or relaxing week long vacation retreat.
Begin each day with an opulent breakfast, created by innkeeper Sandra Kauffman, guaranteed to please even the most dedicated health seeker. Homemade pastries using local fruits, vegetarian dishes, ethereally light scrambled eggs, secret coffee blend, and a potpourri of other specialties are served in the Victorian dining room from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m.
