A favorite location most of the year...our wraparound porch with numerous rockers. Bring your favorite book and drink from the kitchen fridge. Listen to the songbirds. Meet new friends or just relax and recharge. Always a nice breeze.The Limelight Hydrangea tree outside of the inn in over 130 years old. Our inn is well shielded from both noise and the summer heat. Shaded areas abound.
Our old working barn dates to the early 1900's. Over 3 acres of walking, gardens, water fall and stream, the barn is surronded by picnic table and a swing gazebo.
