Designer Linens & Robes · Private Balconies · Antique Appointed Rooms The spicy aroma of gourmet breads, hot out of the oven, will draw you to the Vergie Lou Morning Room where you will join other guests for a proper English breakfast starting with fresh fruit, cheeses, homemade muffins, cereals, juice and coffee; followed by eggs, ham, sausage, fresh sauteed mushrooms and English muffins with homemade jellies and butter. A luscious cup of hot tea from the kettle is the proper English way to end a delightful breakfast and begin your day. All this is included for our guests daily. Your step back in time is further enhanced by an 1893 concert grand piano, a 1900 pump organ and a victrola in the Wanda Alissa Drawing Room, all of which will encourage you to meet and talk with other guests or experience the gracious southern hospitality of your hosts. When you prefer, there is always a quiet place for intimate conversation. Each room is different -- yours may have a queen size four-poster bed, a wet bar, a view of one of the private gardens, an antique brass bed with a feather mattress or perhaps an 1860 petticoat vanity. At the end of the day you may relax in the whirlpool bath in your room. In the evening, the cool breeze and rocking chairs will tempt you to your private balcony. Down pillows, hand-made Amish quilts and down comforters will invite you to curl up in the bed to read a good book or catch up on your favorite television program. Televisions are tucked pleasantly away in the armoires. If business is on your mind, there are tables and handy telephones in each room for a nice, quiet work station. A fax machine and copier are available for all your business needs. |
