"First off, I don't think any combination of words could possibly begin to measure how absolutely wonderful the Crane Creek Inn is! I stumbled upon this gem doing some google-map "what's nearby" hunting when we decided to take a weekend in Melbourne to see a show and just enjoy some down-time together. And truly --- I could not have found a better, more relaxing and perfect place! Andy and Bambi, the owners and host's with the most, are the MOST charming, kind, gracious and absolutely hilarious people I have ever encountered. Bambi is super creative and keeps the entire Inn decorated with a breathtaking flare, and makes you feel right at home --- or rather makes you wish you could move in and call the Inn your home! She has inspired me to start redecorating my own home. I would love to know her cleaning secret as well, because you won't find a speck of dust even in the corners of the darkest secret closet in that place. The grounds are perfectly manicured, and have personal touches from the lighting that lines the waterfront to the shells in the sand accent posts to the faces tied onto the plants. The personal touches don't stop there though --- just when you think you couldn't be anywhere closer to heaven, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies magically show up in your room. And as if that weren't enough... just try to say no to Andy's blueberry pancakes... delish!! We stayed in the Ida Mae, which set the mood for us to share a wonderful, romantic night together. The room is decc'ed out with a Parisian theme, and includes amazing unique art pieces. I won't ruin the surprise for you though.... definitely check out the Ida Mae's interior door! Very cool. We are looking forward to coming back again and again."
