Garden Proposal

We see many engagements, weddings and romantic interludes here, but this was one of the best. Our prospective groom constructed a gazebo in the gardens by the stream, and we set it up for dinner service by candlelight…and not just candles on the table, but a host of suspended candles in cones, casting a warm glow over the table. The unsuspecting girlfriend was taken for a hike where the couple came upon this lovely setting with waiter at the ready for a romantic dinner and proposal. This much preparation also requires much confidence, which was rewarded with a ‘yes’!

Christmas Week is Here!

Filed under: Winter Activities, southern Vermont inns — fourcolumns @ 1:56 pm
Holiday Preparations are almost complete…

A beautiful snow…
decided to stay

Ornaments in the Tree

Festive trimmings

And conversations by the living room fire…
Create a season of warmth and good cheer

In the Kitchen…

Chef Zak
Prepares his stock
For Christmas and New Years Dinners

No escape for Mr. Lobster

While Dinner guests enjoy…

A quiet table in the corner

beneath a local artist’s creation

Or next to the fire’s warm glow
