Introduction
History and beauty fill the senses at Tanglewood. The large veranda and four huge columns of the main house will remind you of the beauty and charm of the Old South. You will marvel at the two-story stained glass window that dominates the main foyer. Once inside, you will be surrounded by an eclectic mix of art and antiques in the spacious public rooms that have a European flair. You can enjoy complimentary refreshments on the veranda, back patio or by a roaring fire. You might ask for a look at the French kitchen with its fireplace and huge French copper collection. Set out on the sideboard will be home-baked goods and your choice of complimentary beverages.
Up the grand heart-of-pine staircase to the second floor foyer you will find another wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the reflection of the stained glass in the huge period mirror.
For a completely different experience, you should visit the beautiful old hipped roof barn that the noted architectural firm of Cooper Lecky transformed into a luxurious two-suite guesthouse. Dramatic architecture invites you into the living room with a stone fireplace. Upstairs a wonderful two-story solarium separates the two bedrooms with a balcony that looks downstairs. The solarium features a comfortable sitting area and writing desk. In the evening a full moon is captured in the huge picture windows at the east end of the room. It is a wonderful place to catch the morning sunrise over the mountains or read a book from the barn's extensive library.
Sarita Long and Helen Smith were best friends and had lunch every day at Tanglewood for almost a half a century.
The guesthouse's first floor features a huge wood burning stone fireplace, a beautiful reading area with a large handcrafted oak and chestnut table and bookcases filled with the best novels. It has its own kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances and French doors open to expansive east and west decks.
Tanglewood is famous for serving a generous breakfast/brunch that leaves guests asking for recipes and wanting to return and visit us again. Everything we serve is homemade, baked fresh in the morning using local and organic ingredients.
A typical breakfast at Tanglewood starts with a cup of freshly ground Hawaiian coffee, fruit juice, and fresh fruit of the season: in the spring and summer fresh berries and melons; in the fall, baked local apples in Grand Marnier; in the winter fresh citrus.
A large basket might be filled with buttery homemade buttermilk Scottish scones or banana bread filled with pecans or muffins packed with blueberries.
A large quiche with farm fresh eggs, delightful cheese, cream and other fresh additions await you on the buffet. Asparagus or another fresh vegetable might be near by. A lighter-than-air homemade waffle might be prepared while you wait with maple syrup, butter and fork in hand.
Local sausage, Virginia ham, smoked Scottish salmon or extra thick bacon might be accompanying the main course. On the side there is always a special dish - such as Tanglewood hash brown potatoes or delectable French baker's potatoes.
We love hungry guests who appreciate wonderful food. Espresso, lattes and cappuccino are available along with tea, hot chocolate and coffee in the main house.
