The hotel lobby welcomes you with a grand carved staircase and a stunning stained-glass skylight above the stairway landing. There’s a cozy parlor with a fireplace for you to rest and unwind from your travels. The elegant dining room is set for tomorrow’s complimentary gourmet breakfast.
You’ll have the opportunity to relax in the rocking chairs on the front porch and take in the bucolic view of the valley, roast marshmallows in the evenings at the fire pit or order cocktails to enjoy in the Adirondack chairs on the patio along the banks of Potts Creek.
Stroll by the orchard and large vegetable garden on your way to visiting the “Chick Inn” coop all of which provide many of the delicious ingredients for our farm to table cuisine.
