Opening for the 2018 Season on March 23...

...and it won't be long until these delightful little guys are back to say hello to our Moon Feeder on the front porch.  They bring a bit of fantasy to the mountains and we eagerly await their arrival!

After a Snowy January and a Spring-like February, we are currently (in mid March) experiencing occasional snow flurries followed by cold winds revealing clear blue skies. Surely this means Spring is on the way!

It was a busy winter and we did what innkeepers do in the off-season - catch up on things there is no time for in Summer & Fall.  That means doctor appointments, holidays with family, taxes, a couple of great vacations, sprucing up the Inn, and some old-fashioned relaxing.

Having done all that, we are ready to have guests again, and it will feel good to get back into a routine.  After this many years in innkeeping, we just wouldn't know what else to do!  Our across-the-street innkeeper friends from the former 4-1/2 Street Inn report that they miss innkeeping but are settling into a comfortable retirement while their former building is a bee-hive of activity and getting ready to open as a nine-bedroom rental house.  It's been interesting to watch the transformation! We're happy to welcome all their past guests who still seek out an authentic B&B run by the owners who live in the building and prepare a sumptuous home-made breakfast, served in the dining room or on the breezy wrap-around porch.

We offer a little of everything, so if a separate cottage is more to your liking, check out our two vacation rentals which can be booked online:
Miss Rebecca's Cottage
and
 The Guest House Apartment

BETTER YET, CALL OR EMAIL WITH YOUR EXACT DETAILS (Adults/Children, length of stay, etc) FOR A PERSONALIZED QUOTE ON THE COTTAGES AND SCROLL TO THE PREVIOUS POST TO CHECK OUT THE 25% SPRING DISCOUNTS.

Thanks for visiting our blog and we hope to hear from you soon!

Hummingbird Special

Thanks so much to Nanci Adler who snapped this gorgeous and hard-to-get photo of a lovely little female hummingbird visiting the Moon Feeder on our porch!  The tiny birds are on a feeding frenzy right now before they fly South to avoid the coming cool weather.  Nights are now in the 40s and it hasn't been raining nearly as much as the forecast says, so check the special (below) and come on up!!

The hand-blown glass and copper feeder shown above is for sale in our gift shop along with other variations of Parasol's recycled hand-blown "Mini-Blossom" glass feeders which can hang from a beautiful curved hook or rest on a stake put directly into the ground or into a flower pot.

Stay with us soon for a last look at our little friends zooming from feeder to feeder and take advantage of this Last Minute Hummingbird Special:
