The breakfast experience: The day begins with the aroma of fresh brewed coffee. Relax in the beautifully decorated dining room for a full country breakfast, prepared by Stephanie McCaffrey, a master of the culinary arts.

Enjoy the romance of this mountain lodge, the pleasure of a family vacation, take over the Inn for a reunion or business meeting, schedule a wedding or winemaker dinner … take in the views of the pristine forest, diverse birds and wildlife, rays of sunshine or snowflakes in flight.
