  • Garden Gate Get-A-Way Bed & Breakfast Video: Garden Gate Get-A-Way B&B is definitely the lodging choice for Nature Lovers! Picture this ...You pull in the driveway to check-in and see horses grazing in the neighboring field. On the way to your guest room you catch a glimpse of a Monarch butterfly floating along the flower-lined path. You stop to take in the country setting by sitting on a porch swing and see a hummingbird bouncing from flower to flower in the gardens. After some rest and relaxation you stroll over to the apple trees and now you get approached by the neighboring horses. You pluck a couple of apples off of the tree and feed them to the horses. That evening, when you return from dinner, you see flames dancing in the fire ring as you drive up the road. You walk up the flower-lined pathway to your guest rooms and are greeted by your innkeepers as they welcome you to come and unwind at the evening campfire. You grab some coffee, hot chocolate or maybe even a glass of wine and come to the fire ring which is situated in the middle of the gardens. As the sun starts to set you notice fire flies dancing around the yard and hear a concert from the birds in the area singing to you. As time passes by you hear the gentle clopping of horse hooves as an Amish buggy passes down the road.
