The bed and breakfast boasts extensive gardens with perennials bordering the walkway and edible flower and herb gardens. Luxurious accommodations include oversized whirlpool or clawfoot tubs, fireplaces, feather beds and other upscale amenities. The spacious yet intimate cottages are perfect for feeling pampered.

Everything we imagined!

The Water Lily Suite was wonderful. We slept great in the comfortable bed, loved the multi-head shower and looked forward to our breakfast delivered to our door each morning. I can't wait to go back! I want to try one of their cottages with the whirlpool tub next!
