It occurred to me this morning as I sat waiting for the sun to come up that winter is the one season that I get to actually sit and have a cup of coffee while enjoying the sunrise. It was a balmy 11 degrees this morning, way better than the […]
When we became Bed and Breakfast owners over 6 years ago little did I know that my love of animals would become an integral part of the job. I had said I would never have livestock and yet I now have 4 goats, a donkey and 18 chickens! Ironically, the […]
There are many who would sit to debate the best season here in the South. For most, Spring and Fall are the only options. I, however, would like to propose that each season is best in its own way. Spring definitely has some beautiful flowers and it is a welcome […]
So, I was going through some of the bed and breakfast reviews on various websites the other day trying to see if there was something we might be missing in the way of customer service or advertising or if other Bed and Breakfasts might be doing things differently that would make […]
While autumn in general is a beautiful season with the trees all colored up in their yellows, reds, and golds, late autumn is my favorite! Somewhere around the middle to end of November, many of the leaves have already fallen, but the ones remaining are a beautiful golden color. It […]
Spring is well under way, which means summer is not far behind! For a Bed and Breakfast owner, summer means a lot more fruit to choose from to serve on the breakfast table. Strawberries are already becoming available so there will be some Strawberry French Toast served here in the […]

Silence is golden. Never is that more true than to those who don’t get much of it on a regular basis. I am one of the fortunate. On any given day there is a hammock sitting under a tree with an amazing view of Weiss Lake and the surrounding valley. […]
The Secret has many “secrets”. One of the most amazing is the fact that on the property one can not only see the sun come up in the morning, but the sunset in the evening. And on those rare occasions, the moon both rise and set. Both equally spectacular. It […]
Spring is almost here, two of my favorite things to do once the weather turns warm are hiking along the river and having dinner on the patio. The dogs love it to, as they get to hike and Molly gets to herd her cat while the birds feed overhead! What […]
