| - This is DEFINITELY a place to spend a night or two! Beautiful? Check! Romantic? CHECK-a-ROO! Didn't want to leave? Cha Cha Cha CHEEEECK!
I used this place as an excuse to head north so I could surprise my BF with a stop at Bullets & Burgers. I have to confess, this place was sort of a secondary target....
However, I know we will go visit here again, for a romantic couple's weekend. The rooms are GORGEOUS and LUSH with rich color; the bed was very comfortable, the huge tub was fabulous! I felt we had stepped into Italy.
My only disappointment was the breakfast: the choices were very limited, and it ended up being a microwaved frittata. The coffee was a 'gourmet' local roast - way too strong for me, much like the over-roasted Starbuck's type. I drink east African coffee (Kenya, Rwanda) and they are much more flavorful.
The crown jewel of this place, tho, is not the room or the bed (which, I would go back for anyway!), but the extraordinary garden/sitting area for the guests. This place only has 4 rooms and they do tend to poo-poo children, so it truly is a place for adults. But the garden..... It was so incredibly beautiful, so wondrously full of life and so reverently secluded from everything else.... Walled off, spectacularly staged, and ever so romantic. It is private, and only for the use of the guests. We looked at each other and both knew, one day when we build the Dream House, we will have one of these.
This is a stand out B&B. If you love B&Bs, be sure to spend a weekend here.
