Inn to Inn Experienced!

Filed under: Uncategorized — fourcolumns @ 7:29 pm

Guests Tessa and Randy recently completed the first Inn to Inn Experience’ package, enjoying the hospitality and dining of three exceptional area inns.

They began their journey at the beautiful DeerHill Inn in West Dover, Vermont, with a wonderful dinner prepared by Chef Michael Allen. Tessa and Randy chose to bike from inn to inn, so they awoke the next morning and began the journey to our Four Columns Inn. They stormed the somewhat challenging fifteen miles through Williamsville and on to Newfane, biking the distance in an amazing two hours. Tessa is training for the Triathlon and was kind enough to check frequently on husband Randy, usually not too far behind. Appetites in place they were ready to enjoy dinner on their second evening, prepared by Chef Greg Parks. After another restful night in the country and a hearty breakfast it was on to The Old Tavern Inn in the picturesque village of Grafton. Once again covering the fifteen mile distance in two hours they had the rest of the day to unwind in the serenity of a Vermont summer. Another well-earned dinner prepared by Chef Dave Smith completed the quest.

Three days, three evenings, three inns, three chefs and a great workout. Not a bad way to spend a few days away in the Vermont countryside.

After an incredible snow season this winter, the gardens have returned with a vengence! Mia Sheffey is our gardener extrodianire, and when not creating works of art on canvas, works her magic through her green thumb around the grounds. The initial burst of flowering trees, daffodils and tulips have run thier course, and now we are enjoying iris of all colors along with the constantly changing pallet of summer garden colors.
