Our stay, May 2011, was exceptional. Up the long drive, sits the B&B on a hilltop, surrounded by rows and rows of grapevines and fruit trees - suddenly you are transported to a French country experience. Walking in the tiled foyer, the decor is fabulously country French. We stayed in the Vineyard room and the evenings in late May were cool enough to sleep with the French door and casement windows open. Quiet, relaxing... The breakfasts were phenomenal! Best we have ever experienced. The hosts, Cindy and Jay, invited us to cocktails on their sailboat before our dinner at the well-recommended 'Boathouse Restaurant' - wonderful food and experience. We will be talking about our stay for years to come and cannot wait to go back!

My husband and I spent a weekend away here and it exceeded our expectations. The inn is beautiful, hosts were delightful, and the food outstanding. We also went on their sailboat with them and had a great time. I highly recommend this adventure as well to complete your stay.

My husband and I first stayed at the Grey Hare inn for our honeymoon and our hosts made sure it was a special time for us with their attentiveness and first class hospitality. We have since returned every year to attend a Grape Harvest Stomp in the fall and each time our expectations are exceeded with the gourmet food and beautiful views.
