    Innkeepers Description:

    We like to have our house filled with music, fun and stimulating discussion. David will regale you with our genealogy & Cynthia can share her experiences in designing Peralynna, basing it on a home she had lived in, in Europe. Our son, Brandon, was the builder of this 22,0000 sq. ft. building, at age 22. He was a child prodigy with no formal training, and impressed every inspector & engineer working with him, with his innate abilities, skills & decisive management style. We are still in awe!

    Signature Dish

    Berries in a Cloud
    BERRIES IN A CLOUD 3 egg whites 1 tsp vanilla ¼ tsp cream of tartar 1 cup granulated sugar ½ cup finely chopped almonds, toasted 1 3-oz package cream cheese, softened ½ cups packed brown sugar ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tbsp milk ½ teaspoon vanilla 1 cup whipping cream 3 cups fresh whole strawberries, stems and caps removed 2 oz semisweet chocolate, cut up 2 tsp shortening Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Cover a baking sheet parchment paper. Draw a 9 inch circle on the paper; set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine egg whites, 1 tsp vanilla, and cream of tartar. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed till soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, beating on high speed till very stiff peaks form and sugar is almost dissolved. Fold in almonds. Spread over circle drawn on paper, building sides up taller than center to form a shell. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 45 minutes. Turn off oven; let meringue dry in oven with door closed at least 1 hour (do not open oven door). Remove from oven. Lift Meringue and carefully peel off paper; transfer to a serving platter. (Or store in an airtight container overnight.) For cocoa mousse, in a small mixing bowl beat cream cheese and brown sugar till smooth. Add cocoa powder, milk, and the ½ tsp vanilla; beat till smooth. In another chilled, small mixing bowl beat whipping cream with chilled beaters of an electric mixer on medium speed to soft peaks; fold into cocoa mixture. Carefully spoon cocoa mousse into the meringue shell. Press whole berries, stem side down, into the mousse. In a heavy small sauce pan melt semisweet chocolate and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly. Drizzle over berries, filling and meringue. Serve immediately, or cover and chill filled meringue for up to 2 hours. To serve cut into wedges, dipping knife into water between cuts. Serves 10.

    As a woman traveling alone, a homey place with attentive staff is much appreciated. I have enjoyed several of the rooms here now and each is unique, comfortable and clean. The breakfast is always delicious and the common area easy to use. I won't stay anywhere else when visiting the area.

    This was our very first experience with a bed and breakfast. I will tell you that our experience was absolutely wonderful. We stayed for a weekend in their luxury honeymoon suite, and it was absolutely perfect. My husband loved the bed and jacuzzi.The breakfast was made to perfection. My husband and I didn't want the weekend to end. Thank you for bringing that spice back for us!

    The staff is friendly and really care about your experience and stay there. I was beyond impressed with the quality and variety of good and beverages only to add that breakfast was outstanding and still had my own space to have a quiet meal. The inn was extremely clean and well kept and every detail is taken care of so that for something as important and special like my anniversary I did not have to worry at all. My recommendation is high for anyone else that would consider a "staycation" or just a romantic evening.


    Delightful getaway.

    The staff couldn't have been more warm and helpful. Our room was excellent. Breakfast is cooked to order and was superb. (Remember that there's no evening meal at the inn but there are many restaurants in the area.) The Inn - as its picture might suggest - is filled with nooks and crannies. We were so sorry that we didn't have more time to explore!

    Great in keepers, very pretty on arrival. I was disappointed no hangers in room and the room above us left the hot tub going all night which created a terrible humming noise all night. Our room was a little over priced for the value.
