Breakfast features three truly gourmet courses served at your requested time---unless it's too early for the cook! We promise to prepare your first course and leave it for you in the chiller if you need an early start (that is "fairy slang" for refrigerator!) and set the freshly ground coffee in its place for your easy push of the button to start your "caffeine fix"!

You've just awakened... Indulge in a sensuous soak or a power-jet shower with all of our favorite spa treats before your day of play begins. You may be hoping to accompany the Innkeeper, Sarah, to gather some local, farm fresh eggs. Maybe this morning she'll tell you stories about her travels to Russia! Then as you decide on what Nectar you'd like to experience today, she sets about to prepare your special request--dining privately in the Red Lace Wing Dining Room with a view of Teracina Garden & 20 feet from Butterfly Creek!

What could be more enticing than mimosas in Waterford crystal goblets--just a small detail of what you'll enjoy during this haute cuisine signature 3-course delight. Bone China, silver service & your favorite music leave you feeling like the Majestic Beings you are! You've got the day wide open & full of opportunities--what will you engage in after Nectar? Boating or walking up waterfalls, perhaps shopping or even a skinny dip in the creek if you dare!

We are proud to serve Starbucks (Unless we get lucky with an import of Kona coffee from our Hawaiian guests); daily gathered grain fed eggs from the neighbor up the road, and some really yummy treats to tickle your palate. Our truly decadent fare is intended to indulge the palate. Our presentation will delight your eyes as if Martha Stewart added her input (we hope)... at least we have fun doing it!
