Nestle into the most comfortable four-poster canopy bed you can imagine – one so high you need a step stool to climb in. Fluffy goose-down pillows, 330-thread count cotton sheets, and designer décor all combine to provide a romantic setting. Indulge in a glass of wine, and each other, while the fire crackles and basks you in its warm glow.
Awaken to the aroma of a gourmet breakfast served in our country dining room or outside veranda. Or, make arrangements for a private breakfast in your room. Belgian waffles, eggs Benedict, or our famous French toast tempt you, but we will happily accommodate special dietary requirements.
For a real retreat, stay close to the Inn. More than 4000 acres of hiking trails are just steps from the front door, and a delightful farm next door offers unique gifts and treats. Enjoy a massage in front of the fire, or arrange for a picnic. Take a nap in the hammock, and watch a spectacular sunset from the rear lawn.
For those who would rather be active, we can arrange horseback riding, mountain biking, golf at a Jack Nicklaus-designed course, kayaking, tennis, and many other sports. Full medi-spa facilities are available, so feel free to indulge in anything from a facial to a face-lift!
