October 2012 Archives

Here's a way to jumpstart your cooking sensibilities and have an inspiring getaway all at the same time while staying in a Georgian Revival mansion, complete with white columns and a gracious porch overlooking the mountains.

The Mercersburg Inn is proud to partner with the acclaimed L' Academie de Cuisine of Bethesda, MD, to present a series of culinary weekends throughout the year. 

Held Friday night through Sunday afternoon, the weekends feature two intensive (hands-on) cooking classes and (of course) fabulous meals. Cooking classes are held in the mornings, followed by a lunch featuring the results! Saturday night's Chef's Dinner, prepared by the Inn's Chef de Cuisine Dan Nowalk, is an elegant gala event.
See our website for dates.

"This place was such an amazing escape out of the city life. Such beautiful scenery and the welcoming woods that seclude you from the rest of the world. Sandra was an amazing host and really made sure that we were happy with our experience. We actually won this one night stay off of a radio game from the blitz and like another guest posted below, she upgraded us to a bigger suite. We went and got dinner at the Buxton Inn in Granville which is only 5 minutes from Willowbrooke in Alexandria, Ohio. We got home and had a few beers and relaxed in the jacuzzi while we watched a movie that we chose out of the large selection of vhs'. We actually took a late night stroll down the driveway which was super relaxing to be able to see the stars. We awoke and had breakfast served to us which was delicious and the cherry on top is there are peacocks on this property. We had such a great time, thanks again Sandra!

Wonderful Child-Friendly B&B

My mother, 5 year old daughter, and I visited the Persephone's Farm Retreat Oct 4th - 7th. I wanted my daughter to see what it's like to be on a farm. I grew up on a farm and wanted her to experience a little of that. The place is beautiful, and Victoria was nice enough to let Evalyn help her with some of the chores (feeding the animals and gathering eggs). The breakfast each morning was very good too. We were able to tell Victoria what kind of things we like to eat for breakfast and she made those for us. Evalyn hated to leave the horses. 

All of the animals are very friendly and love attention. This is a beautiful place to relax in Sevierville, Tennessee and be close to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

"Heavenly!   My sister and I took our horses to Airlie Farm and enjoyed so much in just 2 days. Eating and visiting with Nancy and Joe, riding horses all over the hills, sitting on the porch swing, and visiting the local wineries. The beds are so comfy it was just wonderful. Every room was spotless and had it's own unique character we can't wait to go back!
