Imagine waking up after a restful nights' sleep to the smell of Blueberry bread baking. Your nose will quickly be overworked with so many aromas of Breakfast.
Start the day with a fresh ground cup of coffee; Panamaniean? Huckleberry? or a variety of tea; herbal? chai?
There is nothing like the smell of fresh baked cinnamon bread. We prepare a variety of muffins; orange pecan, cherry cream cheese strussel, lemon yogurt.
In the spring there are fresh raspberries from the garden for a wonderful fruit parfait, or bluebberries from the bush in the summer, and varieties of apples in the fall. The winter calls for baked berry cobblers and crisps.
You will enjoy the gourmet full breakfast served after your restful night.
