Welcome

An imposing stone hearth complete with beehive oven welcomes you to the Great Room. Relax by the fire after a day of skiing or exploring the surrounding towns and countryside. Chat with new friends and enjoy some favorite music. Choose a book from our library and spend the afternoon reading in a quiet corner on our covered porch , or just sit and relax while enjoying some homemade cookies.

During the colder months, the Parlor is where we serve our generous homemade breakfast between 8:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. each day. Sit down to seasonal fruits, homemade coffee cakes and muffins, and delicious entrees such as Dill Havarti Eggs or blueberry pancakes.

During the summer enjoy breakfast served on fine china and linens on the large covered porch just off the Great Room . In the afternoon join us for homemade delicacies in the parlor or, weather permitting; the porch as you enjoy the view and tranquility of the Inn. Upon request, coffee and tea can be available at 7:00am for early risers.
