Opportunity to look at oil paintings on canvas and many pieces from 12 artist from the area.\n\nWalk up the steps and toward the right are rocking chairs for you to sit and absorb the night air. Beautifully manicured lawns and hedges. You are totally insulated from the rest of the world here as if you were taken back in time to another era.\n\nWonderful opportunity to visit the grounds and the gardens. My all time favorite was the vegetable garden- the baby eggplants hanging and morphing to full size in couple of days, smell the spearmint, etc..\n\nThe Rose Garden with variety of colored roses. \n\nThe fountain was filled with tadpoles. \n\nWill definitely be back for a stay at this Bread & Breakfast or host an event here."^^ .
