"The discovery of a new dish
does more for human happiness
than the discovery
of a new star."
— Brillat—Savarin
We try to accommodate our guests' schedules. Please give us advance notice if you need to leave at a specific time.
The dining area in the old kitchen seems to be the favorite place to "visit." Returning guests have been known to remain at the fireplace all day. And, we understand. This gathering spot is interesting in many ways.
Overhead, a pair of 18th-century, whaling oars can be viewed. Hefty overhead wooden beams bear the hatchet marks of the structure's original construction. We are told that in those days of 900 year-old growth forests, the hatchet was likely sharpened in a unique way, which results in the interesting wood texture.
There are memorable moments, when a group of wild birds arrive just the other side of the 9-over-6 light windowpanes, to feed. Guests frequently comment on the vivid colors of these tiny birds. Both tribes, the winged one and those folks at the table, seem to enjoy the meal.
The carefully-maintained, hygenic kitchen, which so long ago welcomed tired stage coach riders, carries on the traditional comfort of supportive relationships, which originally established this Inn's success.
