One glass of wine and no snacks does not make a social hour.

View Reviewer Info

Innkeeper Response

I apologize to this guest as we obviously did not meet their expectations during the social hour event. I wish the guest would have brought this to our attention during their stay here instead of waiting. While expectations vary with each guest, the intent of the social hour is to provide a time for guests to gather, discuss the day's events, and share experiences. Usually we hear of a special find at an antique store nearby, the wonderful lunch at Miss Betty's, the fantastic tour guide someone had in the National Military Park, interesting items seen at the museum and of course where to go for dinner! We do serve wine and offer snacks which vary from day-to-day such as crackers and cheese, homemade cakes and cookies, our famous bruchetta, Miss Dora's ice box pie, and sometimes just chips and salsa! Our guests usually drink one or two glasses of wine - the intention is not a wine tasting or "happy hour" but an excuse to sit and relax a bit before heading off to dinner at one of the fantastic restaurants nearby. It is also helpful if our guests can let us know in advance if they will be attending the social hour or not, so we can plan an appropriate amount of snacks to place in the ballroom.

We do offer "active" get-a-ways if guests are interested, and I teach workshops in kayaking, mountain biking and trail running.

The Rhett and Pineapple rooms are a wonderful match for two couples traveling together or a family of 3 or 4 persons. If you are budget minded these are our most economical rooms as they share a bathroom which is in the hallway. The other 5 guest rooms all have private bathrooms.
